Overview

Successful certification management is a critical component to business success in regulated markets.

The ability to certify and bring new products to market quickly, cost effectively and successfully brings a distinct competitive advantage. Further advantage can be realized through strategic utilization of certification, codes and standards as a competitive tool. Maintaining certifications on existing products is a necessity.

Certification, however, is a complex process with many critical steps. At any one of these steps, significant delays or road-blocks are possible. This can lead to cost overruns and, even more critically, missed opportunity in the market place. Delays of even a few months can be extremely costly. Loss of certification can be extremely detrimental to a business.

The key to truly successful certification management is to have the right overall strategy and the specific tools and resources in place to ensure successful execution. In Jana's Strategic Certification Management program we work with you to develop your overall short and long-term certification strategies, which we then integrate into your team to ensure successful execution. The Strategic Certification Management program is built on four Critical Elements:

1. Corporate Certification Optimization
2. Codes and Standards Management
3. Product Certification Execution
4. Certification Testing

Each of these areas requires its own specific competencies and expertise, and these specific needs vary by product and application. A coordinated team effort is required to be successful in each of the areas and to tie the whole process together. Those who have been involved in the process know only too well how easy it is for things to go awry. Those who have not been through the process are often surprised at the unexpected challenges that arise. The best approach to mitigate the risks, optimize returns and ensure success is to have the right Certification Management Strategy and a team with specific expertise and experience in each of the four Critical Elements.
