Quality Management Department

Our activities are focused on some main domains:
In the field of Software Quality Management our services include quality management system development according to the ISO 9001:2000 and the software quality standards, like the CMM standards, the European Software Quality standards. We have developed an electronic quality management system, which replaces the paper based quality documents and fulfils the requirements of these standards. This electronic quality system performs the quality processes in distributed environments. We also provide Quality Management Maturity Assessments and Software Process Improvement consulting and follow up. We are involved in the European Quality Network, there we jointly analyse key quality indicators and success factors to achieve high quality services and a continuous innovation process.

In the field of EU research and development consulting and training we support Hungarian proposers in joining or initiating European research and development projects within the Information and Communication theme of the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.
