ISO 9001:2008/TickIT 5.5 Ensures Quality Services
How can you determine if vendors execute projects with the quality you need?
To reduce risk and improve project performance, managers around the world have increasingly specified vendors who employ quality management standards and IT frameworks.
Our world class Quality System covers internal operations, communication with clients, project services and delivery. Unlike many systems, it is subject to independent audit annually to ensure continued compliance.
As your program and project needs become increasingly complex, you can be sure ITPM brings the highest level of professionalism to your investments.

ISO 9001/TickIT EXPERIENCE
More and more IT project contracts require vendors and contributing staff to hold one or more recognized industry certifications or qualifications. We have extensive experience designing and building mission critical and safety-related information systems and software products for regulated environments under a registered ISO 9001/TickIT QMS. This experience revealed to us the immense value of applying these and other standards to the achievement of customer satisfaction.
A UNIQUE DISTINCTION
ITPM is one of 85 companies in the U.S. (1101 worldwide) and one of only five U.S. IT consultancies that has developed, institutionalized and registered a quality management system (QMS) in conformance with ISO 9001:2008 and BSI TickIT Issue 5.5.
INTEGRATED STANDARDS AND FRAMEWORKS
In addition to our registration to ISO 9001/TickIT, we have integrated requirements or guidance of a number of other internationally-recognized standards and frameworks to provide benchmarks for our processes and services.
ANNUAL EXTERNAL CONFORMANCE AUDITS
The majority of corporate certifications and assessments do not require external monitoring or control beyond initial achievement of the certificate. Once an organization has achieved certification, there is little or no external oversight to ensure they “play by the rules” of their certification.
Maintenance of our ISO 9001/TickIT quality management system registration requires a contractual commitment to a program of continuous improvement of our processes through regular internal audits, as well as annual surveillance audits by an accredited third-party registrar: Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), and full re-registration audits every three years. These independent audits provide formal documented assurance to our customers that we are currently operating in full conformance with our QMS and that its processes are effective.
YOU GET ISO QUALITY AND RECOGNITION WITHOUT MAKING THE INVESTMENT IN REGISTRATION
Engaging ITPM as your IT PMO, governance, portfolio, program, project, quality or business process management consultant or team leader ensures that all elements of the engagement will be conducted in full conformance with our registered QMS. Our registration requires it.
A corporate commitment to quality is even more powerful when executed by engaged and motivated professionals. ITPM very strongly encourages employees and contractors to earn and maintain personal certifications in the practice areas of their choice. Each staff member must be trained in the methods and follow the rules as a condition of employment.
