Implement CMMI in enterprice cost much, some one may question that why we need CMMI, and what CMMI can take to us. It is hard to anwser it, we can analyze from following aspects.

For enterprice, they must be perceiving that the way they do technology development or services now isn't giving them everything they want or need to be confident in their ability to produce the results they want/expect (profit, happy clients, low overhead, etc.) and to do it in a consistent way. If that's not you, move on. Otherwise, give CMMI a shot and check back here for more elaboration on this topic soon.

Besides it, there are also some other benefits for the company.

CMMI is about improving performance through improving operational processes.
