"VariQ management is committed to maintaining a high level of quality in all of our endeavors, and adherence to best practices in delivery of our services. To that end, our goal was to implement a full Quality Management System (QMS) to meet the prevailing industry and government standards,” said Ben Edson, President, VariQ, “We had previously been accredited at CMMI Maturity Level 2 in April of 2009, and the next step for our fully integrated corporate QMS was to implement and be audited against the ISO 9001 standard.”

Obtaining certification began with a comprehensive evaluation of the company’s internal processes. This often leads to significant process improvements. “Implementation of the ISO standard has allowed for greater organization of our departments and processes. This in turn drives greater performance at all levels of production and service. As a small but rapidly growing company we have found that implementing ISO 9001:2008 and CMMI has enabled us to be more competitive in the federal market and offer mature organizational processes to the benefit of our clients and prospective clients,” Edson explained.

ITG works with companies to help them obtain globally recognized certifications, including ISO 9001 certification. ITG CEO Michael Angelakis says “We appreciate the opportunity to work with VariQ because they understand the importance of quality and their executive team is willing to take action to ensure their customers receive the benefits of an institutionalized quality management system.”

"ITG was an excellent and responsive partner in our effort to meet the ISO 9001 requirements. ITG offered practical guidance and educated us as to how to best implement the requirements for optimal use within our corporate structure”, observed Edson. In addition to being better positioned to bid on certain government contracts, VariQ now has a more resilient QMS that provides value to customers.
