Abstract
This paper presents the results of two capability maturity assessments done in two IT Departments belonging to public entities. We investigated their maturity in the Software Maintenance Process. The results obtained and the special characteristics of these organizations (produce, maintain and use its own software) invite us to do several reflections on the adequacy of maturity models to this kind of organizations.
