Since last four decades, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has been helping government and industry organizations to acquire, develop, operate, and sustain software systems that are innovative, affordable, enduring, and trustworthy. It serve the nation as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and based at Carnegie Mellon University, a global research university annually rated among the best for its programs in computer science and engineering.

Delivering value across a spectrum from R&D to technology adoption
It research software and cyber security problems of considerable complexity, create and test innovative technologies, and transition maturing solutions to widespread use. Using tools, technologies, and practices developed or matured by the SEI, the DoD and other government agencies can meet mission goals through improvements that include
 more efficient and agile development of software-reliant capabilities
 improved software project cost estimation
 reduced risk due to software vulnerabilities
 more resilient cyber systems and networks
 reduced sustainment costs
 a workforce skilled in the acquisition of complex, secure software systems
It also works with commercial organizations that are interested in gaining a strategic advantage by maturing or applying improved software engineering and cyber security technology.

The tools and methods developed by the SEI and its research partners are applied daily in organizations throughout the world.

The SEI tools and methods in the following areas:
 Acquisition Support
 Measurement & Analysis
 Performance & Dependability
 Process & Performance Improvement
 TSP
 Risk Management
 Smart Grid
 Software Architecture
 Software Product Lines
 System of Systems
