Malia Spencer has a new article up on Pittsburgh Business Times about ITSqc spinning out of CMU. While it isn’t exactly your typical sin-off, it does bode well for CMU and Pittsburgh. ITSqc works with companies such as IBM and Accenture to create models around the IT service sector.
“The research was done and the models were created and focus shifted from creating and gathering, which universities are great at, we produced the models and now it’s a more commercial adoption issue,” said company director Jeff Perdue of the decision to spin-off.
Now that the shift has moved from research to commercialization, Jeff thinks it’s time to spread their wings and fly. IT services is a maturing industry, it was only a short amount of time until a network of companies that support it was created. Not surprisingly, it came out of CMU. Good luck, ITSqc.
