Re-certifying ISO 9001-2008, by Mariela Rodriguez

On June 30th, Globant successfully completed the annual re-certification of ISO 9001-2008. After acquiring Accendra, re-certifying ISO 9001 was a great challenge for Globant, since many processes had changed, and others were still being discussed if they had to be kept or not.

The merger of both companies also meant that almost every process had new owners, so when we started to work on the re-certification, we had to coordinate both teams to review that everything was still being done according to the standards.

After working for 3 months, on June 29th and 30th it was time to be audited. Everyone did a great job and the auditor was impressed by the professionalism showed by the leaders of each discipline.

The results were very good, especially in some key activities: Development, Testing, Infrastructure and Human Resources. We were certified by Bureau Veritas in “Development of IT Solutions and Change Management”. The processes included under this standard are Planning, Software Development and Testing, Change Management Services, Infrastructure Support, Human Capital, Career & Talent Development, Quality Management, Customer Support and Purchases.

I´d like to thank everyone involved in the process, it was an excellent experience. Congratulations!
