"Using the CMMI® process methodology we have increased efficiency, quality and customer satisfaction."
"Obtaining a CMMI® Level 2 maturity level demonstrates the high level of quality and detail that goes into our information technology programs," said Jamie McDonald, Director of the Governance line of business lead at Knight Point. "We have used the services model to ensure our service deliverables are developed by industry experts, reviewed for accuracy and quality, validated for effectiveness before they are ever delivered to the customer. I believe this gives our customers an edge, by giving them the best and most up to date information."
"I am impressed by the dedication our employees have shown in working hard to improve the processes and set higher and higher standards for themselves and their work," said Doug Duenkel, Chief Operating Officer at Knight Point. "I have worked for large and small sized companies and understand the pain customers feel from a lack of quality focus and support from their contractors. Our employees' commitment to quality and the customer has been breathtaking. Our CMMI® processes are providing the basis for this focus."
Serving the nation since 1984, the SEI is a federally funded research and development center. SEI has established standard practices for software engineering principles and practices and has served as a national resource in software engineering, computer security and process maturity.

Inc. Magazine and Winning Workplaces Announce Top Small Company Workplaces
Read the article about Knight Point here
New York, NY, May 23, 2011—Inc. magazine and Winning Workplaces today announce the winners of the 2011 Top Small Company Workplaces competition—an annual contest that recognizes the nation's best small and mid-sized company work environments—in Inc.'s June issue. The magazine features the contest's 50 winners, a diverse array of organizations featuring such companies as Cal-Tex Protective Coatings, equipment supplier Fitness Anywhere, and audio firm Skullcandy.
Every year since 2003, Winning Workplaces, an Evanston, IL-based nonprofit organization, has recognized those firms that attribute much of their business success to their commitment to exemplary people practices and outstanding workplace cultures.
Menlo Innovations, a small software technology firm, pairs all workers for cross-training and mentoring to build a constantly learning organization. Dyn, a 24-hour software support firm, acts as a single team; no task is too small for any employee to perform. The CEO works the support queue, the founder handles "on call" rotations, and managers still answer midnight phone calls. M & E Painting's 20-person staff is so well trained and collaborative that the residential/commercial painting contractor does not ask for compensation until a job is completed to the customer's satisfaction. The 2011 Top Small Company Workplaces are, as represented by the organizations above, compelling examples of successful organizations with unique, exceptional cultures.
Winning Workplaces and Inc. received nearly 350 completed applications for the contest. A national panel of experts in leadership and small to mid-sized business judged the finalists. Selections were based on specific metrics and qualitative assessments of the finalists' success in creating the kind of workplaces that engage employees and deliver bottom-line results.
"This year's winning firms distinguish themselves in so many ways," asserts Ken Lehman, chairman of Winning Workplaces. "They are steadily growing their revenues, often outperforming their industries; have identified niches where they add unmatched value; and are guided by strong missions and values. And, they make no secret of the fact that a key driver behind their success is their engaged and committed workforces."
"These firms represent some of the finest privately held companies in the world," states Bob LaPointe, president of Inc. "Their stories, appearing in the June issue of Inc., clearly demonstrate that taking an innovative approach to creating the right culture—one in which human capital is embedded in a company's value proposition—can create real competitive leadership. Each of these Top Small Company Workplaces offers an environment in which people flourish and, as a result, profit follows."

KNIGHT POINT HONORED TO BE A 2011 WINNER OF THE NUNN-PERRY AWARD
Knight Point Systems is honored to be a 2011 winner of the Nunn-Perry Award, as an outstanding Protege small business under the Department of Defense, (DoD) Mentor-Protege (MP) Program in partnership with Mentor company CSC. The award was presented to both companies for their accomplishments as a DoD Mentor-Protege team. The prestigious Nunn-Perry Award, named in honor of former Senator Sam Nunn and former Secretary of Defense William Perry, was first awarded in 1995 to recognize outstanding Mentor-Protege teams formed under the auspices of the DoD Mentor-Protege program. The award honors teams that excel in quality technical assistance, return on investment and Protege development.
Mentor company CSC supplied technical assistance through developmental support of Knight Point's Hercules Asset Management & Optimization product. Through CSC's technical guidance, Hercules has become a standard in BRAC relocation and Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiatives (FDCCI) throughout the federal government and also supporting the warfighter. Hercules' console supports government managers' Green IT initiatives by helping to plan where true cost and energy savings can be attained. Working with CSC, and through the investment of the Mentor-Protégé program, Knight Point Systems was appraised at CMMi Level 2 and is working towards an appraisal at CMMi Level 3. In addition, Knight Point further improved the corporate service delivery process by obtaining an ISO 20000 certification (one of 32 US-based companies to own this important certification). Finally, CSC supported Knight Point's financial system upgrade to Deltek – a recognized system by the DCAA for accounting and timekeeping requirements.

On November 7th 2009, Knight Point Systems will be joining forces with Clarion Wrestling to play host to the first ever Knight Point/Clarion University Open wrestling tournament. Knight Point is the official sponsor of the event that contests 10 NCAA wrestling weight classes over a one day period. Wrestlers from around the country will travel to Clarion in hopes of earning the title Knight Point/Clarion Open Champion.
Knight Point's Justin Kuzemka, an alumni of Clarion University Wrestling, and his company wanted to give back to the wrestling community in a unique way. Knight Point will not only provide sponsorship so that Clarion can bring in the best NCAA wrestling officials and a state-of-art paperless bracketing system but they will award the top six place winners at the tournament. These changes in tournament production allows for much more fan-friendly environment with athletes being assigned to their competition mat well in advance of the whistle being blown. Parents, teammates and fans will find it easier to follow action of their athlete and their team. Teague Moore, Head Wrestling Coach at Clarion said, "this sponsorship allows us to provide athletes, coaches and fans with the best of tournament production hardware and software. Athletes will be better prepared knowing exactly where and when they will compete. This is not always the case at open tournaments."
Kuzemka is a wrestling fan and wants to see the sport grow its fanbase and knows that a better product brings more people to future wrestling events. "Wrestling is a unique sport in that tournament settings produce tough situations for fans to follow the action. Knight Point sees an opportunity to help amateur athletes and their fans. We enjoy giving back to a community that works very hard to produce well rounded young men" said Knight Point's Kuzemka. This tournament will see a number of top collegiate wrestlers from Division I, II and III compete for top honors.
