Wizdoms ISOToolkit Enables Companies to Simply and Successfully Plan, Manage and Maintain Their ISO 9001:2000 Compliance Projects

Wizdom Systems, Inc., a leader in process-based solutions and software, today announced the release of ISOToolkitTM for planning, managing and maintaining ISO 9001:2000 compliance or compliance transition projects. ISOToolkit, which can be used over the internet or intranet, helps to automatically select and design a ISO 9001:2000 project plan, manage people, and aggregate and catalog all documents handled by project team members -- regardless of where individual team members are located. ISOToolkitTM is available through an ASP or installed on an NT or Windows2000 server. The client requires only a browser.

ISOToolkit is built on Wizdoms WizdomLive!TM business process portal platform. ISOToolkit, which has a built-in ISO 9001:2000 template, helps ISO projects succeed according to promise without disrupting current operations while meeting the ISO quality system requirements, including:
·   Documentation requirements and a Quality Manual
·   Adoption and implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS)
·   Compliance demonstration with the effectiveness of new processes and a QMS

Were the process company," says Dennis E. Wisnosky, CEO, Wizdom Systems, Inc. Because ISO 9001:2000 is process based, we created ISOToolkit to be an ISO 9001:2000 Management Center. For the first time organizations can be sure that they are actually operating according to the true principles of ISO 9001:2000."

ISOToolkit Features:
·   Includes the actual ISO 9001:2000 process documentation.
·   ISOToolkit facilitates the ISO 9001:2000 process by embedding the processes, how-tos and documentation on an interactive, web-based platform, available to the entire team.
·   Team members have the ability to contextually match project work to deliverables, ensuring that everyone knows exactly how and when to do each task.
·   The project management and knowledge management features keep track of document revisions and authors, creating an audit trail of work completed. Thus, management will be able to track individual participation on a task-by-task and document-by-document basis.
·   Defines and manages best practice processes for continuous improvement.
·   Insures that all documentation is current all of the time.
