C-SAM achieves ISO 9001 and TickIT accreditation
Software design specialist C-SAM Ltd has ticked all the boxes by gaining DNV ISO 9001 and TickIT accreditation for their quality assurance and software development procedures.
ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised standard for companies which consistently provide products which meet customer and regulatory standards, while TickIT is an industry hallmark for software development and supply companies.
TickIT is a quality management system which is recognised by all UK Government departments and purchasers and is aimed at improving the quality of software development and its application in industry.
Aberdeen-based C-SAM is one of only 1400 companies worldwide which have attained TickIT status. Companies holding the TickIT accreditation have demonstrated their commitment to quality and are sending a clear signal to clients that the delivery of quality is a principal management objective.
It signifies that C-SAM is a software development company which have followed TickIT guidance and certification procedures and have implemented a quality system which covers all business processes in the product life cycle.
C-SAM managing director, Theresa Wheeler, said: “Attaining ISO 9001 status demonstrates the maturity of our company and underlines our commitment to constantly providing excellent customer service.
“Some software companies are simply resellers of software packages but all our products are devised and developed in-house. As a genuine developer of our own suite of software products we thought it was important to gain TickIT accreditation.
“Securing TickIT approval means our customers can have confidence that our products and procedures have benefited from stringent quality management controls from inception to final delivery and this minimises risk and improves all round efficiency of our products.
“It also means our growing client base can be assured that we are serious about quality and management control and are working to the highest industry standards.”
