Do you have surplus computer equipment?

Why not donate it?
Here's a facility that can take your equipment and use it for good purposes.

Disposing of our obsolete computer equipment in an eco-friendly way is a problem we face every year or so.  Our county waste management facility accepts such items, but we recently found a way that our decommissioned equipment can be put to work for a while longer.

The Apple user group in our area, Apple Slice(http://www.annapolisappleslice.com) accepts donated equipment in working order which they recondition for use in public schools in nearby Prince Georges county, Maryland.

Process Transition International, Inc. is a company
dedicated to helping organizations with their process improvement efforts.  Before founding PTI,  our technical team, as former members of the SEI Process Program, worked closely with Watts S. Humphrey (author of Managing the Software Process) in developing the SEI-style assessment method and, as part of the SEI group, helped create the original version of the Capability Maturity Model®.   With the introduction of SEI's new Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®),  PTI became a member of the SEI Partner Network and now also offers authorized CMMI® training and SCAMPI(SM) appraisals.

As authorized SEI Lead Appraisers, PTI's senior technical consultants not only helped develop the first assessment method, but have conducted numerous CMM and CMMI based courses and appraisals on three continents, and are active contributors to the community of technology transition and its management through research, writings, and presentations.

PTI's team members have been working for more than 20 years with companies worldwide in process improvement and risk management, applying their experience to help organizations focus efforts to meet their goals for better productivity and higher quality. Our qualified technical team, with its wide background of research, development and training, continues to design workshops, courses and seminars specially oriented toward enriching and enhancing the technical world.

Because of the need for practical and user-friendly books on software process improvement, Process Transition International, Inc. established a publications arm in 1995 with its first book, the widely used A Guide to the CMM® and, in March 1997, the Assessment Coordinator's Handbook, followed by a Spanish translation of the Guide to the CMM, Una Guia del CMM: Comprender el Modelo de Madurez de Capacidad del Software in November 1997.  PTI's most recent publication is  A Guide to the CMMI®: Interpreting the Capability Maturity Model® Integration, 2nd edition (based on the CMMI v1.2).
