The Benefits of ISO9
With an intuitive interface, seamless integration and a comprehensive support program, ISO9's Web-based application far surpasses traditional quality solutions. Compare the benefits of ISO9's Hosted Platform with those of the market's various client server software solutions:

Benefit	ISO9 Web-Based Application	Traditional Software
Up-Front Costs	Application runs on ISO9's central servers, eliminating your need to purchase a costly software license or special hardware. Plus, no internal resources are needed to configure the system.	Software solutions require a costly up-front investment in the software license and related hardware. Additional costs are incurred by your internal IT department, which is also responsible for configuring the software.
Maintenance	ISO9 handles all system maintenance, which reduces the strain on your internal IT department, and ensures high up-time and strong security measures.	Software solutions require that your IT department shoulder the responsibility of managing the system, and ensure availability and security.
Upgrades	ISO9 automatically upgrades the system for you, enabling you to benefit from the latest features and improvements. No internal IT resources are required by you.	Software solutions require that you upgrade the system yourself, taking valuable IT time, and likely reducing the number of times you benefit from system upgrades.
Learning Curve	ISO9's application is based on the Internet browsers that your employees already know how to use. This intuitive user interface makes initial training and on-going navigation of the application easier.	Each software solution has a different user interface, making the learning curve steeper for employees using the system.
System Scalability	ISO9's application is completely scaleable, enabling you to grow the system as your business grows. Adding a new user or location to the system is as easy as enabling access via a standard Internet browser.	Software solutions require that you install new software or reconfigure the system every time a new employee comes on board. This can be costly and time-consuming.
Real-Time Access	ISO9 provides users with 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week access to the system. Users can access the system from virtually any Internet browser, no matter where they are in the world. They can even view multiple QMSs across many locations.	Software solutions lack the capability of remote access and are limited in collaboration functionality.
