Qualification certification "changing method" to guide system integration companies to become stronger

Recently, the "Criteria for the Evaluation of Computer Information System Integration Qualification (2012 Revision)" and the "Implementation Rules for the Qualification of Computer Information System Integration Enterprise Qualifications" were promulgated. Under the organization of the Computer Information System Integration Qualification Certification Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the China Software Testing Center, the Institute of Intelligence and other units form a revision group to revise the "Computer Information System Integration Qualification Management Measures (Trial)". . After two years of hard work, the new regulations were finally rolled out, which marked a new page in the certification of computer information system integration qualifications.

Improve the integration qualification threshold In 2012, compared to the old version, the new version has higher requirements on many hard indicators. At the same time, some indicators that are not easy to verify and implement, and which cannot be qualitatively or quantitatively evaluated for comprehensive strength of the company have been adjusted.

Jiang Wei, deputy general manager of the China Software Evaluation Center Qualification Assessment Center, told the China Electronics News reporter that compared to the old version, the 2012 revised version was based on "comprehensive conditions", "financial status", "reputation", "performance", " "Management capability", "technical strength", "talent strength" and other aspects of the qualification assessment of integrator companies, more detailed assessment criteria, indicators require higher.

The reporter learned that all new application qualifications will be evaluated in accordance with new conditions. Failure to meet the new qualification criteria will not result in corresponding integration qualifications.

"Under the constraints of the new assessment conditions, companies need to obtain higher level qualifications early and enjoy the corresponding tax incentives. They need to increase R & D investment and enhance the overall strength of the company, thereby accelerating the integration of software customization and high-end development and IT services. Progress at a high level," said Chiang Kai-shek.

The role of third-party evaluation agencies highlights that the introduction of new assessment conditions will make third-party assessments play an irreplaceable role in system qualification review, Jiang said.

First, acceptance and registration of test reports are very important.

According to the reporter's understanding, the most obvious change in the 2012 revision is the increase in the assessment criteria for the quality of projects implemented by integrator companies. In the 2012 revision and implementation details, in terms of “performance”, the requirements for the qualification of the first-class/secondary qualifications were met. The required system integration projects and pure software and information technology service projects are subject to third-party acceptance tests, and the number of acceptance test reports shall not be less than 5 evaluation criteria; in terms of “technical strength”, they shall have no less than 10 software registrations. Test report (nearly three years), three qualifications not less than three software registration test reports. According to the experience of Beijing Software Information Technology Evaluation Co., Ltd. for years of software registration testing, the above two assessment conditions indicate that the regulatory agency will pay more attention to the quality of integrator implementation projects in the future qualification assessment. Third-party evaluation was introduced, and scientific, objective, and fair evaluations of project quality were made through technical means, which provided an objective basis for the assessment of qualification levels.

Second, the role of third-party evaluations in the assessment of qualifications is irreplaceable.

The third-party evaluation is conducted by a third party in addition to the interests of sale and purchase, in an impartial and authoritative non-participant capacity, and in accordance with relevant laws, standards or contracts, the inspection of goods is carried out. This is related to the testing and inspection of integrators and supervisors. Essential differences. The introduction of third-party evaluations will play an important role in the assessment of qualification levels. For quality-qualified system integration projects, third-party evaluation agencies will issue system acceptance test reports. Third-party acceptance test reports are the most effective way to evaluate the quality of system integration projects. In the qualification level assessment work, the assessment staff can fully grasp the quality of the integrator system integration project according to the third party acceptance test report.

"The introduction of third-party evaluations to check the quality of system integration projects not only helps regulators do a good job of assessing qualifications, but also enables integrators to increase their project implementation capabilities, strengthen project management, and reduce project risks. As is known, some integrated companies In the final stage of an information system project, the acceptance of the project is often neglected. It is considered that the acceptance is only a form or not how to effectively organize the acceptance of the project. As a result, the system quality problems in the later stage of the project are endless, and the change of the requirements is difficult to implement. The service could not be followed up and eventually brought incalculable losses to the integrated company, said Lu Xiaogang, deputy general manager of Beijing CCID Information Engineering Supervision Co., Ltd.

From the user's point of view, the introduction of third-party evaluations can not only avoid people's subjective evaluation of project quality errors, but also provide scientific and technical means to objectively and impartially reflect the project quality and ensure that the project design complies with the contract documents, design standards, and technical specifications. Such as quality standards, can also find defects and deficiencies in the project, and put forward rectification ideas to ensure that the project is normally delivered to users, so as to meet the user's needs.

Talent training is imminent. “The new evaluation conditions in 2012 stipulate that no less than 220 personnel of level 1 enterprise integration shall be employed, no less than 80% of personnel with bachelor degree or above, and no less than 30 persons shall be qualified for project management personnel, including senior The number of project managers is no less than 10." This reporter learned from the China Software Testing Center.

The new conditions raised higher requirements from the total number of personnel, the proportion of highly educated, and the number of project managers. For large-scale integrated enterprises, the talent reserve and vocational re-education are emphasized. The detailed rules also stipulate that the number of personnel with the qualification of computer information system integration project management personnel shall be announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's computer information system integration enterprise qualification work website, and the enterprise shall be officially employed. "The number of personnel must be accurate," to avoid the loss of integration qualification due to the transfer of personnel. The corresponding secondary qualifications require a total of 150 people, 80% of undergraduates, 18 project managers, and 4 senior project managers. In general, the lower threshold is raised.

“Be prepared early and prepare early, because the qualifications of project managers, especially senior project managers, must go through a series of examinations and require assessment before they can be obtained. These qualifications will directly determine the level of integration that companies can acquire.” Deng Jinhua, deputy general manager of the software testing center training, reminded.

Relevant information:Comprehensive qualification criteria of integrated qualifications 1st and 2nd qualifications Comparison of comprehensive conditions Comparison of grade 1 qualification requirements in the 2012 new evaluation criteria “Enterprises are corporate legal entities registered in the territory of the People's Republic of China, with a clear history of change and development, clear ownership relationships, and access to computer information. The time for the secondary qualification of the system integration enterprise is not less than two years; the enterprise does not possess the qualification of the information system engineering supervision unit; the main business of the enterprise is the computer information system integration (hereinafter referred to as “system integration”), and the total system integration revenue accounts for the past three years. The proportion of the total operating revenue shall not be less than 70%; the registered capital and paid-in capital of the enterprise shall be no less than 50 million yuan.” Compared with the old version, firstly, the system integration company cannot emphasize the qualification of an information system engineering supervision unit at the same time; Secondly, in order to standardize business operations, the new conditions increase the proportion of integrated revenues and avoid integration companies from “not doing business”. Finally, the new conditions raise the lower limit of registered capital for Level 1 integration qualifications and raise the threshold for first-class qualifications. Under the same guiding ideology, the secondary qualification requires that the proportion of integrated income be no less than 60%; the registered capital should not be less than 20 million yuan.

The financial status is compared with the 2012 new evaluation criteria stipulated in the first-grade qualification “The total system integration revenue of the company in the past three years is not less than RMB 500 million (or less than RMB 400 million and the total amount of system integration projects completed in the past three years is in software and information The proportion of total technical service fees is not less than 80%. The new evaluation criteria has greatly increased the total amount of integrated revenue. The new evaluation conditions also require that the company “has not incurred any losses in the last three years” and “has to do with the system integration business. Adaptable fixed assets and intangible assets. For fixed assets and intangible assets, in the Implementation Regulations, it clearly states that "the net value of electronic equipment in fixed assets of enterprises shall be no less than 2 million yuan, and the net book value of software in intangible assets (including outsourcing The net book value of the software and the net book value of self-developed software are not less than 2 million yuan. A similar secondary qualification requires 250 million yuan in integrated revenue and 800,000 yuan in fixed assets and intangible assets.

Credibility comparison The new 2012 evaluation conditions stipulate that both the first and second grade qualifications “have no violation of national laws and regulations in the past three years”, “no sales or provision of non-genuine software”, and “in the process of qualification declaration and qualification certificate use” Honesty".

The new conditions of performance comparison have made higher demands on the total revenue of more than 2 million large projects. It has been emphasized that if one or two enterprises are doing a good job, they must do large projects and play a greater role in the major projects that the country badly needs. The new conditions also require that the total amount of software and information technology service fees in the total system integration projects completed in the past three years account for no less than 30%, or the total software and information technology service fees not less than 120 million yuan, or software development fees. The total amount is not less than RMB 65 million, which not only maintains the original basic terms, but also supports companies with advantages in software and information technology services. Corresponding to the requirements for secondary qualifications, the new conditions also proposed a total of "200 million yuan" in projects and a "software development fee" of 30 million yuan.

Comparing with the 2012 new evaluation conditions, the management capability stipulates that the company “has established a complete quality management system and has passed the certification of a third-party accredited national certification body, and the continuous effective operation time is not less than one year”.

The technical strength compares the old conditions with the guidance on software registration, and this new condition directly quantifies and discriminates the software registration business. The implementation details for the registration test and the invention patent give the “registered means that the company owns the software product. The certificate of registration is within the validity period, and the one information technology invention patent possessed by the company can be equivalent to the flexible conversion scheme of the three software product registrations, reducing the burden and pressure on the company, and quantifying the office area.
