The new feature will help you operate within the newly issued framework while still providing a lot of flexibility in determining audit durations and enabling you to note justifications when you make deviations. Although deviation from MD 5 does not automatically lead to nonconformity against ISO/IEC 17021, it does open the door for possible investigation into the completeness of the audit. EQ/M can help ensure you maximize conformance and provides a mechanism for noting the required explanations when you deviate.

So this entry will just briefly state some of the things we are working on: we continue to refine our management system to improve our quality and security processes, we are almost complete with our most recent upgrade of all of our sites to EQM 2.2.10, we have completed restructuring 75% of our projects including using SVN for version control, by the end of April we will have approximately 5 open proposals that we are in the running for that total over $3M in revenue, we will be live with all of RTA's implementation by mid-May and should complete all phases of Dubai Municipality by June 1 and 1237 other things....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have started to use LinkedIn more effectively - search for jadian enterprises, and we are using Twitter @jadian0902 to post smaller items to try to start conversations with people from around the world and through the different industries we touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to start maintaining at least weekly posts on the blog - any suggestions?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-2573903083208265084?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/2573903083208265084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=2573903083208265084' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/2573903083208265084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/2573903083208265084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2009/04/communication-methods.html' title='Communication Methods'/><author><name>Jerry Norris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17767370985132126697</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-216624694920482804</id><published>2009-01-13T11:01:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T11:07:09.533-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ISO 9001:2008 transition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ISO 9001'/><title type='text'>jadian’s EQ/M supports the transition to ISO 9001:2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;In November, the International Organization for Standardization (&lt;a href="http://www.iso.org/"&gt;http://www.iso.org&lt;/a&gt;) introduced ISO 9001:2008, the fourth edition of the popular ISO 9000 quality management system standard.  This new standard helps clarify requirements in ISO 9001:2000 based on input and experience gained since its release 8 years ago.  Another key goal of ISO 9001:2008 is to improve compatibility with the ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental management systems.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;As expected, jadian’s Certification Body customers are adopting ISO 9001:2008 and transitioning customers to the new standard.  jadian's EQ/M certification and audit management solution (&lt;a href="http://www.jadian.com/eqmoverview.htm"&gt;http://www.jadian.com/eqmoverview.htm&lt;/a&gt;) has built-in tools and an upgrade strategy for handling these transitions smoothly.  Our solutions enables Certification Bodies to easily add new certification programs and track the transition of their customers to the new standard without losing historical information.  This upgrade/transition philosophy is applicable to any standard so when, for example, a new update is released for ISO 14001:2004, Certification Bodies can do this quickly and easily.  The same holds for companies using EQ/M to manage internal quality systems and Accreditation Bodies managing standards like ISO 17021, ISO 17025, ISO 17024, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-216624694920482804?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/216624694920482804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=216624694920482804' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/216624694920482804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/216624694920482804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2009/01/jadians-eqm-supports-transition-to-iso.html' title='jadian’s EQ/M supports the transition to ISO 9001:2008'/><author><name>KGriggs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09665034888288029712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-5344817249129790877</id><published>2008-12-29T12:03:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T12:04:17.001-05:00</updated><title type='text'>jadian expands efforts to Qatar</title><content type='html'>Recently jadian branched out to another Middle Eastern country:  Qatar.  On December 7th, Jerry traveled to Doha (capital city of Qatar, population around 400k) to meet with a new business partner, Ali Bin Ali.  Ali Bin Ali Group is a privately owned company, established in 1945, that today is one of the largest retail and distribution companies in Qatar.  Ali Bin Ali formed an IT group in 2002 to provide Application Services and related consulting and System Integration services to the Qatar Market – this group is known as Ali Bin Ali Technology Services, or ABATS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the sales training session, Jerry and the ABATS team discussed a wide variety of topics, including software features &amp;amp; benefits, target markets, and approaches to joint marketing.  The goal is to introduce jadian’s EQ/M product throughout Qatar to a variety of government and private industry companies.  We are excited to be partnered with such a well-respected IT organization and believe jadian will benefit tremendously from the relationship with ABATS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-5344817249129790877?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/5344817249129790877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=5344817249129790877' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/5344817249129790877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/5344817249129790877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2008/12/jadian-expands-efforts-to-qatar.html' title='jadian expands efforts to Qatar'/><author><name>KGriggs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09665034888288029712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-1786173010215875992</id><published>2008-12-12T09:32:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T09:41:54.829-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Offices</title><content type='html'>After 18 months in our temporary space, jadian is moving into our new office space in the MIX (ACD.Net) building.

Recently jadian has refined the model to be more expandable and for it to have the ability to track the history of the risk. We have also added more graphics to help track the risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An establishment’s risk assessment can then be used to determine the appropriate inspection frequency, sampling plans, required courses of action (e.g. a corrective action or documented risk analysis plan), and the type of checklist or form that is used for the inspection.  For example, high-risk establishments can be inspected more frequently or with more detailed inspection checklists than low-risk establishments.  This enables municipalities and federal ministries to focus inspection resources on the highest risk establishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Enterprise Quality Manager risk module is currently in use by the Dubai Municipality Public Health Department and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Labor.  The Dubai Health Department uses Enterprise Quality Manager to assign risk factors to raw and processed food products imported into the country.  The risk factor, in combination with the inspection results, help the municipality determine not only inspection frequency but also the number of samples and level of lab testing required.  The Ministry of Labor (MoL) is using Enterprise Quality Manager to inspect companies for compliance with the country’s labor laws, including investigation of late or non-existent salary payments, working environment, and labor camp conditions.

I have been in Dubai for the past few weeks and was so busy that I just could not take the energy to blog. This was a mistake because I should be communicating to the people who read this blog more often – sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trip to Dubai had, as always, several objectives. The primary objective was to get as many items as possible into production for Dubai Municipality. We were successful in getting most of the Public health department live, all of the integrations (I will write a separate post for this), one &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;eGovernment&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;eService&lt;/span&gt;, and some more work on the Environmental Department. Overall it was a very successful trip from this regard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another objective that is always present when going to Dubai, was sales and the pursuit of new contracts. On this front I met with 5 different prospects (including the Ministry of Labour for additional work they require). The bottom line for this is that all prospects moved to the next step in the sales cycle. This included obtaining two contracts and two purchase orders. The value of this is twice as much as we made in Dubai in 2007. It was a very successful trip. In addition, on the sales front, we were asked to submit three different proposals / change requests for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;DM&lt;/span&gt; that include more services and very importantly a significant amount of more licenses.  We also sent one of our Dubai based guys to Doha, Qatar to meet with Doha Municipality through our new partner Ali bin Ali technologies.  This resulted in a request for a quote for a pilot program in the public health department. It looks like we could be established in Doha within the next couple of months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then finally the other common objective of every trip is to meet with potential partners. I met with two potential partners that resulted in plans to move forward with each of them. This will double the amount of people selling the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt; products and services in the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary, this was the most successful trip that I have ever had in Dubai. 2008 is looking very bright.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-1868312506154406585?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/1868312506154406585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=1868312506154406585' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/1868312506154406585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/1868312506154406585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2007/12/catch-up.html' title='Catch Up'/><author><name>Jerry Norris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17767370985132126697</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-1349523845998639356</id><published>2007-10-26T13:14:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T13:33:26.028-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web Site'/><title type='text'>New Web Site</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lFwzZWMK2y0/RyIiTu0cvFI/AAAAAAAAAF8/uDjJ3DjFIfc/s1600-h/NewSite.BMP"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125697048281922642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lFwzZWMK2y0/RyIiTu0cvFI/AAAAAAAAAF8/uDjJ3DjFIfc/s320/NewSite.BMP" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;jadian enterprises released our new web site today, i.e. Karen Griggs published the new site she designed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The purpose of the revision to the site was to add more content and explanation to potential customers, more tools for our partners, and more information to our current clients.

The objective of the training was to ensure that the participants are able to complete corrective and preventive actions that they may be assigned due to internal audit &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;noncompliances&lt;/span&gt;, customer complaints, customer satisfaction issues and internal defects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The training was lead by Joy Wagner, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;jadian's&lt;/span&gt; management representative. It was a two hour session &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;focusing&lt;/span&gt; on the tools used for root cause analysis - especially 5-why. The session used a real world example (project delays and lack of communication). All participants were engaged in the training and it was a very successful session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The training has given immediate benefits, in that some of the action plans are being put in place this week. It has also given jadian a more common language to use when talking about our management system and more employees are aware of performing root cause analysis.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-5503516583665721078?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/5503516583665721078/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=5503516583665721078' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/5503516583665721078'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/5503516583665721078'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2007/10/jadian-completes-capa-training.html' title='jadian completes CAPA training'/><author><name>Jerry Norris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17767370985132126697</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-8434939857124244446</id><published>2007-10-03T16:59:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T13:33:26.205-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='features'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Integration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Customer Satisfaction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Management System'/><title type='text'>Customer Satisfaction Survey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lFwzZWMK2y0/RwqYvViAT9I/AAAAAAAAACo/rmpIswaHbPA/s1600-h/screen.BMP"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119071865461034962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lFwzZWMK2y0/RwqYvViAT9I/AAAAAAAAACo/rmpIswaHbPA/s320/screen.BMP" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lFwzZWMK2y0/RwTdfqQbYXI/AAAAAAAAACg/QE7wCMLEojE/s1600-h/screen.BMP"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Over the past few months &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has been collecting customer satisfaction data from most of our clients. 42% of the surveys we sent were returned to us. We asked 6 questions on a scale of 1 to 7. We gave the following guidelines to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;respondents&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;7 = Above Average&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;4 = Average&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 = Below Average&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we look at the responses as positive, there were a few issues that we need to address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Communication of Project Status is weak&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To resolve this issue we are: Seeking a project manager candidate and rewriting the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt; task and support system to automate more reporting through sending of emails. We anticipate that these two projects will be completed in November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Better documentation and troubleshooting guides are required &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As we move everyone to a consistent base, we are also creating the required documentation for the solution. The documentation will first be created for users, then will be followed with the technical documentation. We anticipate that anyone on the base platform will have documentation by the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Need to improve the support system &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are going to form a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;separate&lt;/span&gt; department for support. The people will come at first from current, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;experienced&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;knowledgeable&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt; staff. We intend to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;have&lt;/span&gt; 24 X 7 support that can be reached through a toll free number, email, or web based chat. We also will be improving our support web site (&lt;a href="http://www.jadian.com/support.htm"&gt;http://www.jadian.com/support.htm&lt;/a&gt;) to include troubleshooting guides and other tools to assist in support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition several features were requested:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Oasis Interface - this is planned and related to the IAAR project.&lt;br /&gt;2. Better support for FireFox and Safari - FireFox is almost done and we will start working on the Safari issues soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-8434939857124244446?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/8434939857124244446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=8434939857124244446' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/8434939857124244446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/8434939857124244446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2007/10/customer-satisfaction-survey.html' title='Customer Satisfaction Survey'/><author><name>Jerry Norris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17767370985132126697</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lFwzZWMK2y0/RwqYvViAT9I/AAAAAAAAACo/rmpIswaHbPA/s72-c/screen.BMP' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-4398229906684813506</id><published>2007-10-01T17:20:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-10-03T17:27:11.814-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Management System'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jobs'/><title type='text'>Job Posting</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt; enterprises is currently in a very good position.

The picture to the right are the participants in the last class. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The training involves for major categories: Refresher Training, New Features, Integrations that are implemented, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;eServices&lt;/span&gt; that are implemented for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;eGovernment&lt;/span&gt;. The integrations include FileNet, Dubai Economic Department, DM Cash Register Application, Food Import and Re-export System, Lab Information System, Notification (Complaints) Management System, Oracle HR and eClinic. The eServices are for requests for all types of permits, viewing of inspection results, ePay for fines and fees, and inspection results disputes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the users have been using the system for over 2 years but the new features and discussion about how best to use the system has been very productive. Also the users have noticed that the integrations have started to be implemented making more data available and the data accuracy is improving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The training will last for 7 days and involve two sessions per day. It covers the Food Inspection, Food Safety, Pest Operations, Pest Technical, Vet, and Clinic Units.

This solution is a natural extension of our compliance management solutions. It allows any organization with a large number of assets to track a central database of all of these assets, schedule routine inspections and maintenance, manage work orders, track repairs, track inventories, track the performance of the people performing these functions. It also allows for a completely configurable risk model that allows risks and vulnerabilities to be assessed for all assets and this risk is then used for the prioritization of activities (e.g. inspections) and the mitigation of the risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;GITEX&lt;/span&gt; 2007 it became very &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;apparent&lt;/span&gt; that, though &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt; has had this solution available for a long time, we must push it in the market and strengthen our base configuration for it.

For those who do not know, this is part of the United Arab Emirates (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;UAE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;). It is one of seven emirates, an emirate being like a city/state. It has been in the news because of the Dubai Ports/Dubai World wanting to buy ports in the U.S. or because they are building the world's tallest building, they have an indoor ski slope, the only "7 star" hotel in the world, they have build islands that look like palm trees and a map of the world, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be my 33rd trip to Dubai, I am becoming a regular. I have many friends there from all sorts of nations (British, Indian, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Emiratees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, German, French, Chinese, Brazil, Egypt, Jordan, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Palestein&lt;/span&gt;, everywhere). When I am there or at least preparing to go people always want to know what it is like. Most of the time I answer that it is hot (130 degrees), but they really want to know if I am safe in the Middle East. The answer is yes. People over there that are Islam are a lot like all of us. They love their wives (notice the plural though), their children, they laugh, they play, everything like us. They are very, very nice people, and I enjoy going there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next two weeks, I will blog more on my Dubai experience both business and just life in Dubai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;wikipedia&lt;/span&gt; link for Dubai: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5853278373676729280-4833452114045480542?l=jadianenterprises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/feeds/4833452114045480542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5853278373676729280&amp;postID=4833452114045480542' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/4833452114045480542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5853278373676729280/posts/default/4833452114045480542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jadianenterprises.blogspot.com/2007/09/off-to-dubai.html' title='Off to Dubai'/><author><name>Jerry Norris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17767370985132126697</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853278373676729280.post-9186800638068859772</id><published>2007-09-05T05:26:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-05T21:10:43.804-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Security'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Management System'/><title type='text'>Management System Update</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;For the past 12 months jadian&lt;/span&gt; has been in the process of developing our management system in compliance to ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 27001 (Information Security).

Most people know it as Enterprise Quality Manager or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;EQ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;/M.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore we are currently in the process of determining a new name for our software. We currently market and sell it under the names Enterprise Quality Manager, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;CommonView&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and System Thinker. Reference: &lt;a href="http://www.jadian.com/solutions.htm"&gt;http://www.jadian.com/solutions.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would prefer to have a single name for all derivatives of the software. We would also like to have a name that conveys some meaning related to Quality, Environmental, Safety and Security compliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any suggestions, we would love to hear them. We are going to continue to update the survey to the right until we have chosen the name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Results of the survey: System Thinker - 3; None of the above - 2; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;jadian&lt;/span&gt; assurance - 1; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;EQ&lt;/span&gt;/M - 1.
