What is the NI Center of Excellence?
Under the name “Center of Excellence” (CoE), NI (National Instruments) has launched an initiative to promote the dissemination and deepening of best practices in software development among customers as well as partners. Development teams should be motivated to implement consistent and proven software practices in order to increase the quality of their own software projects and to benefit from the resulting advantages.
What distinguishes some teams from others? How can companies ensure that they get the most out of their software investment, strengthen their teams, maximize quality and drive innovation? A group of NI experts spent 5 years accompanying those customer teams that deliver great software and summarizing the best practices they observed under the name Center of Excellence.
Those teams that apply these best practices and opt for and then pass the CoE audit are awarded the Center of Excellence certificate. So far, fewer than twenty teams worldwide have achieved this elite accreditation.
