Derrick
Willer
assisted
the first Software House, Praxis Systems, to gain certification
to BS 5750, now ISO 9001 and Tick-IT, in the mid 1980's.
He also qualified as a Tick-It Assessor
but has concentrated upon assisting companies to gain certification,
to gain upgrades to the newer ISO 9001:2000, and to avoid
de-registration.
Derrick
cited case
studies to show how ISO 9001 and Tick-IT has
helped and hindered the achievement of real quality.
