Posted on: Tuesday, 11 August 2009, 10:46 CDT

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergetics(R) Incorporated, a Fort Collins, Colorado based Information Technology services company has received ISO (International Organization for Standards) 9001:2008 certification for its Quality Management System. Synergetics(R) Incorporated has demonstrated its commitment to meeting the globally recognized management system requirements and regulations for the design and development of computer systems, computer applications and program management.

Rajiv Mehta, president and CEO of Synergetics(R) Incorporated announced, "Synergetics Incorporated ISO 9001:2008 certification is an important achievement that illustrates to our customers our focused commitment to quality within all levels of our organization. All competing companies claim high quality products and services. Standards such as ISO are an independent verification that the quality Synergetics offers can be qualified and quantified. We want our customers to be confident that Synergetics can meet and exceed their needs and requirements in a timely manner while creating real value for them through our innovative techniques and ideas. Our success at achieving ISO 9001:2008 certification is proof that Synergetics is continually striving to improve the solutions we provide to our customers as well as our quality management system."

ISO 9001 Certification is an important differentiator within the market. Companies, such as Synergetics, that can achieve ISO 9001 2008 certification hold a distinguished position and have increased credibility within the market. The ISO 9001:2008 quality certification is based on eight fundamental quality management principles. These include:

• Customer focus
• Leadership
• Involvement of people
• Process approach
• System approach to management
• Continual improvement
• Factual approach to decision making
• Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
  

Synergetics also has the first ISO 8000-110 certified product: Synergetics' Integrated Mobile Database (IMD) suite. Synergetics' IMD solution solves problems associated with managing and distributing data in technology constrained environments such as limited, intermittent, and low bandwidth Internet access. This is a frequent technology constraint for national and global organizations. Storing and accessing logistics data, parts catalogs, or inventory data from portable media and devices is a challenge for organizations with end-users that are constrained to small footprint media solutions.

Finally Synergetics is an active and voting member in multiple international working groups that are establishing global quality standards. These include:

• ISO 8000 Master Data Quality: a technical specification that describes the fundamentals of data quality, defines related terms, and specifies requirements on both data and organizations to enable data quality.
• 22745 Open Technical Dictionaries (eOTD): the foundation for design collaboration and industry standards. eOTD is a dictionary of cataloging concepts used to create unambiguous language, independent encoded descriptions of individuals, organizations, locations and goods and services.
• 29002 Exchange of Service and Product Characteristic Data: a developing standard to achieve interoperability between ISO 22745, Open technical dictionaries and their application to master data, and ISO 13584 by developing a series of common data models and XML schemas, which can be specialized in the respective standards.
• NATO AC135: provides participant Nations with a uniform NATO Codification System to be used as the global reference standard for material identification and to support NATO and multinational interoperability and harmonization of logistic systems.
