Yeah. Not sure about CMM but most of the 'certified'
ISO companies is the ISO 9k series category. That, in
a nutshell, is about consistency. I know someone who
was an ISO consultant and he said that with this one,
you can have non-innovative, mediocre products and
services but as long as you're *consistent* about it,
you qualify for certification! I guess that's why
proton (for example) qualifies... :-/
