ITSqc, LLC, is a multidisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners that addresses the needs of IT-enabled service providers and their clients. To that end, ITSqc develops quality models and qualification methods for organizations involved in eSourcing.

ITSqc, LLC, the spin-off from Carnegie Mellon University created to promote best practice models for the global IT-enabled services industry, was founded to extend the impact of the eSourcing Capability Models (eSCM-SP for service providers and eSCM-CL for client organizations).

The eSourcing Capability Models were originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University with participation from leading provider, client, and advisory organizations. ITSqc, LLC, provides support for these Models, by training professionals about the Models, the eSCM-based methods for determining organizational capabilities, and related professional education programs. ITSqc, LLC, is working with strategic partners and Authorized Organizations to support global adoption of the eSourcing Capability Models.

 The eSCMs are sets of complementary best practices that are fast becoming the standards for sourcing relationships on both sides of the service relationship: service providers (eSCM-SP) and the clients (eSCM-CL). Organizations may be certified at one of five levels based on their use of, and adherence to, the best practices in these Models. For more information visit www.itsqc.org.
