About SEPT

Software Engineering Process Technology Company, (SEPT)..

SEPT is a firm specializing in meeting the software process standards information needs of the professional community particularly concerning the ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 standard. SEPT has been in business since 1992. Mr. Magee was one of the principal US delegates to the ISO SC 7 International Plenary meetings from 1986 – 2002.He was a major contributor to the development of ISO/IEC 12207. Mr. Magee signed off the final draft of ISO/IEC 12207 for the United States in Rome, Italy in November 1994. For his diligent work on ISO/IEC/IEE 12207, Mr. Magee received an ISO/SC 7 award. Mr. Magee is past convener (1999-2002) of the WG 7 (Life Cycle Management working group for ISO/IEC JTC1 SC 7 Systems and Software Engineering. When he was convener the standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288-System Engineering-System Life Cycle Processes, was developed.
During his working with this standard making group it was apparent that a lay person could become confused in what is required and what is suggested, because sometimes the directions contained in the standards are unclear to a lay person. To reduce this fog surrounding these types of standards SEPT started in 1994 producing checklists for standard. SEPT has produced over 90 released products to date. The checklists lift this fog around a standard and state what is required and suggested by the standard in a clear and concise manner.  The SEPT checklists are constructed around a classification scheme of physical evidence comprised of policies, procedures, plans, records, documents, audits, and reviews.  SEPT has concentrated on software process safety critical standards. SEPT checklists have been used by companies around the world.  SEPT also provides standards information via, templates, reports and this web site.
