Trends in IT industry

Until recently, ISO 9000 has been used primarily by the manufacturing industry but now more and more large IT companies are demanding that their business partners become ISO 9000 certified. The use of ISO 9000 standards is growing exponentially, especially in Europe.

ISO 9000 is important because it certifies that management is controlling a large set or sets of processes that deal with every function inside the business. It is not just about service or product quality; it's about management quality. Although ISO 9000 is designed to help companies run smoothly and efficiently, companies don't always implement ISO 9000 standards by choice. Many large companies are requiring their smaller business partners to comply with the standard. The standard is used primarily in Europe, as well as in certain states, including technology hot spots California and Texas.
