PEP member organizations form an international community of best practice, whose results are anonymously compared. PEP members are all seriously determined to produce software faster, more efficiently and of higher quality in support of their businesses' objectives. The results achieved by PEP members prove time and again that their PEP participation has indeed provided a profitable return on investment. PEP is proud to have helped many organizations along this road to success. This results in considerable cost savings.
PEP forms a catalyst that spurs change.
PEP drives its member's process improvement initiatives. These initiatives stand a better chance of succeeding if coupled with measurement and objective benchmarking. Just as top athletes employ a coach and regularly run time trials to monitor the progress of their training, so PEP members regularly benchmark their performance or that of their suppliers. Once we understand where the opportunities for improvement exist, we provide tailored advice and practical help to achieve that improvement. PEP maintains a database of over ten thousand completed systems-development projects.
