In an ASQ Magazine blog under Ask the Experts, a question
was posed as to what is the value for a company to keep an ISO Certification as
the outlay of registration and continuing audits.  The following response was given by Bud
Salsbury:

“With regard to benefits, the positive reports are almost
endless. I will share just a few of which come from reliable sources such as
Dun and Bradstreet, Dallas Business Journal, manufacturingnews.com and others.

Simply noted, ISO
certified companies reap:
-Improved consistency of service and product performance
-Higher customer satisfaction levels
-Improved customer perception
-Improved productivity and efficiency
-Cost reductions
-Improved communications, morale and job satisfaction
-Competitive advantage and increased marketing and sales

D&B notes:
-85% of registered firms report external benefits
-Higher perceived quality
-Greater customer demand
-95% report internal benefits
-Greater employee awareness
-Increased operational efficiency
-Reduced scrap expense

Other reports note:
-30% reduction in customer claims
-95% improvement in delivery time
-Reduced defects from 3% to 0.5%
-40% reduction in product cycle time
-International acceptance and recognition
-Estimated return on Investment for companies with consistent compliance have
been reported +30% to +600%

I could go on with statistics but I am sure you can research and find many more such positive reports.
Therefore I will turn now to third member of the harmony I mentioned.
That is perception.

The various feedbacks noted above show all of the remarkable “exterior” perceptions. Increased business, customer satisfaction, less downtime, etc. So I will take a moment to mention some things about “internal” perceptions.

It is said that changing a culture can take from several years.
Introducing ISO into an organization is indeed introducing a new culture.
Individuals are encouraged to do some things they did not and to change some of
the habits they have formed.
It has been my experience, with several companies, that the culture change associated with ISO implementation is multilayered. The first and most obvious benefit is quality awareness. . . all employees suddenly acquire an appreciation for quality which they did not have, no matter how good they may have been.
This quality awareness does not fade away easily. Even those who offer strong resistance to change learn to respect and very much appreciate all the practical value in a good quality management system.”

Victory Global will demonstrate Axcess’ Dot MicroWireless^TM Credentials at the annual SEWP Conference on April 20 to 21 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The conference will provide attendees (Government, Technical and Procurement Personnel; SEWP Contract Holders and SEWP Program Staff) with information and training on the SEWP IV contracts, available product solutions and planned initiatives for 2010.

“Inclusion on NASA’s SEWP IV contract makes it significantly easier and faster for federal agencies to procure our MicroWireless solutions. We provide security and safety-related solutions, so they can now be in place as soon as possible to save money and lives,” commented Allan Griebenow, President and CEO of Axcess International. “We are pleased to be partnered with Victory Global, a knowledgeable systems integrator with solutions and installation experience with government agencies.”

Axcess’ Dot MicroWireless Credential provides local position determination, tracking, sensing and control capabilities, leveraging MicroWireless^TM technologies to implement a unique Control Point Location System (CPLS) architecture. Applications include personnel access control, emergency evacuation, process automation, compliance reporting, productivity metering, asset protection via custodianship assignments, advanced workforce management, and contractor and visitor time and attendance. The Axcess RFID/CPLS systems offered through Victory Global consist of activators, receivers, tags, middleware and application software. Among other large government and military installations, Axcess’ applications have included: tracking of laptops to prevent loss of assets in multi-floor facilities, vehicle identification with in-vehicle person count, personnel identification at barracks’ entrances, identification of armament arsenal and tracking of classified documents with tag embedding in binder spines. Axcess’ solution has been implemented in military and civilian agencies to track and trace personnel and assets and affiliate people to items to protect and secure facilities and personnel.

After a formal evaluation process, NASA awarded 48 Indefinite Delivery Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to 38 prime Contract Holders, both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Value Added Resellers (VARS). Victory Global, awarded in June of 2008, is one of  4(four) 8(a) contract holders, and Axcess was added on April 6, 2010.

 Angela Brown, President and CEO of Victory Global Solutions, Inc., was recognized in 2009 by the editors of CRN Magazine as one of the top 100 Most Powerful Women of the Channel because of her commitment to Victory’s government customers, involvement in high tech and eight-year participation in the promotion of women in the industry.

Victory, already eligible to receive federal contracts, used an existing relationship with Mentor (a major Federal Systems Integration contractor) to establish its Mentor-Protégé relationship, a partnership under an individual, project-based agreement to support the Air Force mission.

Victory’s strength in advanced technologies aligns with the DoD’s future focus on new technology areas such as radio frequency identification (RFID) devices and enhanced security assurance.

Mentor’s work with Victory will increase its protégé’s value as a business partner and diversify Victory’s customer base through an innovative relationship that develops technical growth.

The MPP allows participants to transfer technology, fulfill the DoD’s supply needs, and increase their job offerings.
