Nearly 500 articles constituting a mine of information on worldwide developments relating to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and other global business standards developed by ISO are available in English, French and Spanish on a new CD.
“This means that new subscribers can share in the know-how and knowledge already provided,” says ISO in its introduction to the product, under the headline of “Concentrated ISO Power!” adding, “Both new and existing readers will benefit from the distillation of this information into an electronic, searchable format that they can pop into a briefcase and consult on a computer anywhere in the world.”
ISO Secretary-General Alan Bryden commented: “This CD is eminently suitable for the many students who are assigned or choose university or MBA projects related to ISO's management standards, as well as to small business managers and managers of enterprises in developing countries and transition economies who recognize these standards as forming the backbone of global supply chains."
