of the quality processes implemented, in the majority of our projects, we
establish a Continuous Service Improvement (CSI) process as a separate
work-package for the identification, planning and execution of improvements on
the services delivered to our clients on the following three main directions:
-Applicable processes. Processes are evaluated through the internal quality
audits and compliance checks as well as through the quality control activities
(including reviews and audits). -People. The quality of the teams working for
the project is evaluated through the inspections and internal quality audits
organised by the Quality Assurance Team. -Tools and infrastructure. Quality of
project tools and infrastructure is evaluated through internal quality audits
and compliance checks, as well as through the Quality Control activities that
reveal the advantages and disadvantages of using specific infrastructure,
technologies, and tools. The CSI process applied in our projects coordinates
all quality and service level management activities with the objectives to:
-identify and prioritise improvements; -discuss with the client and other
project stakeholders and obtain consensus; -follow-up the implementation of
agreed improvements; -evaluate the success of the implementation and the effectiveness
of the changes on the overall service quality. The company is involved in ICT
enabled training through the design of tools for facilitating the training
infrastructure. The delivery environment is related to the state of play ICT
