We have terrific news here at Semansys Technologies, we received our ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certificates.
Why is this so important you ask? Well, in the blog post below, you’ll find the most important advantages of being a ISO 9001, 27001 and 20000 certified company.
What is ISO?
Before we start, it’s important to explain what exactly an ISO certification is. ISO certification certifies that a management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure has all the requirements for standardization and quality assurance. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental, international organization that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.
Fun fact: Some customers only do business with certified companies because of the assurance of these business processes being handled appropriately.
