What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). 

Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. 

ISO 9001 was first published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international agency composed of the national standards bodies of more than 160 countries.

The current version of ISO 9001 was released in September 2015.

ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization:

• needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
• aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

Tools, systems, resources, and processes that go into each stage of our project development and delivery process were evaluated and assessed to ensure that Vardot utilizes the best-in-class practices across all departments and stages of the project development lifecycle.

Going Forward

The certification is another milestone in our journey and moving forward, we can clearly outline our priorities toward becoming a more agile value-driven enterprise IT solutions provider.

Vardot is committed to the ongoing enhancement of Varbase - the number 1 downloaded Drupal 9 distribution and CMS. Our UI/UX team is working hand-in-hand with our business intelligence and software development departments to create simpler yet dynamic digital experiences.

Our development team in turn is focusing on web and app performance from the earliest stages of project development - ensuring that our clients create the ideal digital experience for their target audience.
