Global Crossing Wins ISO 9001:2000 Certification for Information Security Solutions Suite
Share:
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Dec. 10 - Global Crossing (NASDAQ:GLBC), a leading provider of IP solutions, today announced that has won certification by the ISO 9001:2000 international quality control system. The certification covers delivery and implementation processes for the company's Information Security Solutions suite in Latin America and will benefit enterprise customers that rely on Global Crossing for global ICT services.
The ISO 9001:2000 standard lays out requirements for organizational quality control systems and ensuring customer satisfaction. In order to obtain the certification, Global Crossing had to demonstrate that it is capable of supplying a service that can satisfy clients through effective application of the quality system, while at the same time complying with regional regulations.
Det Norske Veritas, one of the world's leading accreditation agencies, verified Global Crossing's compliance with the standard after a year-long review of the company's delivery, installation and implementation processes. Areas reviewed also included Internet, purchasing, logistics, systems, human resources, on-site support engineering and the Latin American Global Crossing Security Operations Center.
Analysis from The Yankee Group also indicates there is a growing culture of compliance in enterprises today. "Achieving advanced levels of ISO certification status is becoming a new basis through which communications service providers are differentiating themselves, ensuring the service quality and security levels enterprises require," stated Camille Mendler, vice president of enterprise research at The Yankee Group.
"By reviewing our operational efficiency and implementing new measurement metrics as part of the ISO 9001:2000 certification, we've again enhanced our competitiveness in the Latin American market and demonstrated our ongoing commitment to a superior customer experience," said Juan Carlos Martinez, Global Crossing's senior vice president for Internet and outsourcing for Global Crossing Latin America and Caribbean.
Global Crossing is also working on ISO 27001 certification for its Security Operation Center (SOC), the first such facility in Latin America. Global Crossing's SOC has been operational for five years and serves more than 1,500 customers.
