ISO 9000 Software Directory
                    
                    
                    Let's face it: Computers make 
                      our lives easier. With the right software and tools, we 
                      can successfully organize complicated, detail-oriented processes 
                      in a fraction of the time it would have taken just 20 years 
                      ago. Organize your files with a few clicks of the mouse; 
                      press "enter" to finalize any decision; correct 
                      human error with a simple "edit, undo" command. 
                      Here's an example: Managing an ISO 9001-compliant quality 
                      management system is a task dependent on efficiency, attention 
                      to details and proper documentation. Fortunately, software 
                      manufacturers have recognized companies' desire to simplify 
                      this complicated and somewhat intimidating task, and they've 
                      developed a wide assortment of packages to meet most any 
                      ISO 9000 need. 
                     In the following directory, you'll find a list companies 
                      that provide software products designed to assist users 
                      in implementing and documenting ISO 9001 requirements. Software 
                      types range from products specifically designed to meet 
                      these demands, including data control and corrective and 
                      preventive actions, to more broad-based titles that cover 
                      areas important to any quality system, such as statistical 
                      process control and failure analysis. 
                     The directory includes company names, addresses, telephone 
                      and fax numbers, and Web addresses. For a more detailed 
                      description of companies' specific products, visit www.qualitydigest.com/directories. 
                      If you have questions about a product's capabilities or 
                      suitability to your company's approach to ISO 9000, contact 
                      the software manufacturers directly and describe your needs 
                      to a member of the sales department. Chances are good that 
                      many of the products listed offer more features and flexibility 
                      than their titles may indicate. 
                     Although Quality Digest hasn't evaluated, nor are we endorsing, 
                      any ISO 9000 software products, we're committed to providing 
                      you a start in your quest for the right solution. Only those 
                      companies that responded to our requests for information 
                      are listed. 
                     We appreciate any feedback you might have on our directories.
