Background
The Event

There has been a major overhaul of the ISO 9001 standards so it now reflects what current software companies need and encourages them to use a Quality System to improve the way they operate. Because the emphasis is no longer manufacturing
specific, and adopts a process model approach, software companies can now relate to the ISO principles far more easily.

Some of the key benefits to software companies include:

  • no bureaucracy, only 6 core procedures are now required.
  • the use of diagrams (process models) rather than text which makes it much more intuitive to use.
  • much greater emphasis on producing relevant records from the key processes to ensure the effectiveness of the quality system.
  • continuous improvement now regarded as a normal course of action.
  • using the quality system to meet your customers needs.
