We've had our 3-yearly ISO9001-2008 certification visit today... what fun!
New auditor, new checks, same result - we passed with flying colours thanks to our Quality Manager Kim's hard work.
As far as we know we are still the only asbestos software company with Quality accreditations (see http://robinbennett.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/result-of-iso90012008-audit.html and http://www.start-software.com/about-us/certifications/) - it is very hard work to keep to the quality standard but we think it is worthwhile. Hope you think so too!
Alpha Validator update released
The automated survey data checking feature within asbestos software Alpha Tracker (known as "AlphaValidator") has been updated again. This follows on from the update released on 11 December (more info here ). an example of AlphaValidator's data check output This update - v1.0.74 SVN25 - is ready now to download from our website and improves the way photos of asbestos samples are validated . Please do contact the Start Software Support Desk (available 24x7!) if you would like help installing the update.
Keeping to the quality standard of ISO 9001 is not an easy thing to achieve. I guess it's really due to your quality manager that you went on to pass the certification with flying colors this time around. In any case, I hope the company keeps up the good work, as quality accreditations can mean a lot for your business. Thanks for the informative read, Robin! More power to you!
