Information Technology is the “Quiet Revolution” that is changing the world. As the internet connects people together, it also connects countries and businesses as well as capabilities. It is no longer a company’s ownership of capabilities that matter, but the ability to manage and make the most of critical capabilities, whether or not they reside on the company’s balance sheet.

In this presentation, the author will share information on software capabilities of many countries and their economic development. Using the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) as the tool, the author has conducted a series of benchmarking study in Asia, Australia, Eastern and Western Europe regarding their software maturity capabilities. From these data, audience can draw the conclusion about the vast amounts of potential capabilities as well as issues that other countries are facing. According to the author, these capabilities can provide a huge opportunity for technical collaborations, education and training as well as opening up new markets for products and services.
