To build and implement an ISO certifiable management system, you must have a system capable of handling all the documentation, processes and results required by the ISO standard. But what is the difference between a management system and an IT system, and how do they work together?

What is a management system?

One management system is a structure of processes, policies and procedures which an organization uses to direct and monitor its areas of activity. An example of this is a quality management system (QMS) that helps ensure that an organization delivers high quality products and services according to ISO 9001.

IT systems

One IT systems are a way of managing and storing data and information within an organization.

It can be an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used to coordinate and track business resources, or a specialized system for managing ISO requirements, such as AmpliFlow software.

Integrated systems and their benefits

An integrated management system combines multiple management systems, such as quality, environmental and occupational health management systems, to effectively manage and monitor the organization's operations. These systems can be integrated with IT systems to automate and facilitate workflows and reporting.

When IT systems and management systems work together, organizations can more easily meet requirements from different standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. This creates a holistic view of the entire organization's operations, facilitating the identification and management of risks and improvements.

Avoid mistakes when implementing

To succeed in the implementation of an integrated management system, it is important to have sufficient knowledge of the systems, a clear plan for the implementation and to have the right processes to keep the system up to date.

It is also important to ensure that employees have the necessary skills to manage the system and that the organization has the right processes to implement and maintain it.

Choose the right provider

When choosing a supplier to help you build and implement your integrated management system, it is important to have a partner who can provide the knowledge, support and services needed to both implement and maintain the system.

Where possible, the supplier should also have experience working with both management and IT systems and understand how these can be integrated to create a smooth and efficient working environment.

Conclusion

A management system is a structure of processes, policies, and procedures for directing and monitoring the activities of an organization, while an IT system manages and stores data and information.

Integrated management systems and IT systems can offer a holistic view of operations and simplify compliance with various ISO standards.

To succeed in the implementation of an integrated management system, it is important to have sufficient knowledge of the systems, a clear plan for the implementation, the correct processes and competent employees.

Finally, it is important to take into account the cost and time involved in the selection of the system. Web-based tools that specialize in managing ISO certifiable management systems can be a cost-effective and easy way to implement and maintain an integrated management system.
