credativ Ltd wins Accredit UK certification

Rugby, 14 December, 2009 - credativ today announced that it has achieved accreditation under the NCC's Accredit UK scheme in the Software Product Design and Development category. Certification follows a rigorous vetting process which ensures that accredited suppliers have an appropriate balance of technical resources and sound processes, employ and recruit staff with the right skills and experience, deliver to meet client expectations and have a history of client satisfaction.

The Accredit UK standard was launched by the NCC in 2008. It aims to drive up standards in the UK ICT industry and provide ICT buyers with a shortlist of suppliers whose excellence has been assessed. Current segments addressed under the scheme are "ICT Consultancy", "Software Product Design and Development", "Solutions Design and Development", "Communications" (Network Design and Installation), "New Media & E-Commerce" and "Information Assurance".

Chris Halls, MD at credativ UK comments: "Achieving Accredit UK certification has taken time and energy but has real benefits for us as an organisation and for our customers. We wanted to prove to prospective clients that we can meet their requirements in terms of quality and competence, to benchmark our procedures and processes against industry best practice, and to provide ourselves with a framework against which we can measure our policy of continuous improvement. Prospective clients know they can come to us or to other Accredit UK listed suppliers and be confident that they are getting end to end quality of service. This should simplify the procurement process, minimise project risk and enable buyers to broaden their supplier base safely."

Vaughan Shayler, Director for Accredit UK said "By using the Accredit UK standard, credativ is helping to make it easier for purchasers to feel confident to buy services from technology companies. 94% of people that we surveyed think that the Accredit UK standard is a good idea. That is because it solves their burning need - they can now get what they want without fear".
