Ian Edwards, managing director of Shropshire based estm, is pleased to be working with AccreditUK to assist in the development of the final three segments to the Accredit UK certification for ICT companies. Ian says "the Accredit UK standard is divided into six segments representing different areas of ICT services. Within those segments are a number of specialisms. This means purchasers of ICT products and services can easily find companies with the specialist skills they require who have demonstrated their capabilities to independent assessors". Ian will be working with 8 candidate companies who are piloting and contributing to the devlopment of the new segments.

The new segments are due for launch in April 2010. IT companies interested in developing their bsuiness through the AccreditUK standard are invited to contact Ian at estm for an informal chat about the benefits of the standard and what certification entails.

As further recognition of our professionalism, estm has been selected as an approved supplier by Business Link West Midlands.This brings with it the possibility of funding for certain types of project. For more information and to find out if you might be eligible please contact us.

estm's Managing Director Ian Edwards has been awarded Charted IT Professional status by the British Computer Society, the Chartered Insititue for IT. CITP is the hallmark of a true IT professional and takes into account practical experience and career achievements as well as formal qualifications. According to the BCS "...Achieving CITP status demonstrates that you practise IT to the highest professional standards."

estm Information Systems, an independent ICT consultancy in the West Midlands, is one of the first six businesses to be certified in the latest quality standard from Accredit UK - Business ICT Consultant. The new standard is a quality mark for IT Consultant firms in the industry. This segment is the third area of the IT industry to be recognised by Accredit UK.
