An Integrated Management System (IMS) is commonly described as:
"a business framework which combines multiple systems, enables alignment to various ISO standards, and reduces risk."
In many organisations these 'IMS Frameworks' are simply a pictorial view of distinct "Management (Assurance) Systems", e.g. for Safety, Security, Quality Assurance, Environmental Management, Compliance etc. supported by a narrative which describes how these systems (should) interact with each other and the core business.
We provide a truly integrated solution where all Business-Directing elements (such as Policies, Processes, Procedures, Plans & Specifications) are managed within the IMS and it becomes the single-source-of-truth and basis for all verification, assurance and risk management activities.
Demonstrating your compliance with standards such as ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001 and ISO55001 becomes a straight forward process, centred around your IMS.
The IMS can be deployed on any web-hosted, mobile-device enabled, Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) platform so ALL your core content including Policies, Standards, Processes, Procedures, Specifications & Forms are available to you at all times on any device.
Every organisation is different but the core principles of good corporate governance are not. We provide an out-of-the-box IMS data model based on 30+ years of experience across many different sectors. Terminology & nomenclature can be tailored to your organisation without compromising the fundamentals of the model.
Not everyone sees their organisation through the same lens, so there is no one-size-fits all solution to the front-end of an IMS.
While there is only a single instance of each document in the IMS, a variety of access mechanisms are available to meet the needs of end-users, all facilitated by the IMS metadata model.
As part of our core offering, we provide templates for core IMS document types, tailored to be fully compliant with your branding requirements.
We train your content owners and authors on methods for improving your existing and developing new IMS content.
Our extensive experience enables us to provide authoring services for a wide array of operational and functional support topics across a broad array of industry sectors, from:
- light-touch QA/QC of content being developed by your own personnel, to
- performing all the tasks needed to fully transition your existing content to the IMS content types and formats.
Whether the need is for simple flowcharts or detailing out complex processes using formal process notation, we deliver our clients their key business processes depicted in the format most appropriate to their stakeholder audience.
