A Quality Management Center of Excellence is a defined set of processes and guidelines designed to embed quality and testing practices into IT development efforts.  The primary goal is to ensure that the value of the target project is delivered.  Much like operational efficiency efforts, embedding quality practices into an IT organization involves significant amounts of cultural and organizational change.
