NetDimensions achieves ISO Certification
Hong Kong, March 31, 2009 -- BSI Management Systems has awarded NetDimensions, a
global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems,
certification for a Quality Management System (QMS) that complies with the
requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.
Certificate No. FS 542888 covers the distribution, installation and maintenance
of:
* Learning, knowledge and performance management systems,
* Related technical support services and
* Provision of application hosting services.
The certification offers tangible confirmation that NetDimensions' operations
are run in accordance with the strict guidelines imposed by the ISO 9001:2000
standard. For the last 10 years, NetDimensions' Quality Policy has focused on
the following:
* Providing products & services that work
* Satisfying our clients' requirements
* Getting better at we do every year
"These are the quality commitments we live by. This is what we expect from
ourselves and our colleagues -- that NetDimensions be a company that creates
products and services that work as advertised and that we give our clients what
they need," said Jay Shaw, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at
NetDimensions.
Shaw added that the company is particularly proud to have earned its second ISO
certification, having previously earned the ISO 27001:2005 certification for
information security management. "Adding quality to security means that clients
and partners can trust NetDimensions to deliver against objectives securely and
reliably," said Shaw.
Inventive Implementation of an LMS as a QMS
NetDimensions achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification through the innovative
adaptation and application of its flagship product, the Enterprise Knowledge
Platform (EKP) learning management system (LMS).
QMS documentation converted into online courseware on EKP was studied by
NetDimensions' employees while concurrently referring to supplemental materials
including text documentation, image or video. Employees then took online
examinations and completed evaluations, again developed and administered through
EKP, to test their understanding. They can only fully comply with the company's
QMS standards upon successful completion of these courses, examinations and
evaluations.
"As far as we know, we are the first LMS vendor to adapt its own product to
support an organization-wide, ISO-standards compliance initiative," explained
Shaw.
Implementing EKP as the platform for an ISO 9001:2000-compliant QMS, enabled
NetDimensions to:
* Offer online access to QMS documentation, obviating the need to physically
distribute information,
* Control access to QMS materials and the update of these materials,
* Manage version control and
* Track which employees have complied with their QMS requirements and identify
those with unfulfilled QMS obligations or who may require updates or 'refresher'
courses.
The ISO standard not only requires that NetDimensions demonstrate its ability to
consistently provide products that meet customer and applicable regulatory
requirements but also enhance customer satisfaction with ongoing improvements.
"We know there is always room for improvement. We keep looking for ways to
improve. We also know we can make mistakes. But when we make mistakes we fix
them, learn from them and move on in a way that makes things just a little bit
better," noted Shaw.
