Strong communication flow between client and services firm.

B e n e f i t o f a n integrated quality system is the continuous monitoring of current projects. This
may take the form of customer visibility tools that allow customers to keep track of a project’s
progress, particularly when projects are done remotely from the client’s site. It may also help to
keep the communication flow open and direct, which may assist the meeting of tight project
deadlines .Advantages of using quality standards by Wipro are:-1. The offshore Indian firms
have used quality as a competitive differentiator for years.2. Quality certifications provide a
common standard that is recognizable to companies regardless of their industry and offers a
"stamp of approval" from a third party, whose role is to validate
whether a company meets certain requirements. Thus, quality certifications can prov
ideadditional confidence and comfort to clients, particularly whe n the service being
performed can be thousands of miles away.3. Furthermore, given the strong
technical focus of the offshore firms, it seemed a natural evolution to achieve
a high level of competency and certification for software development .4. While
quality may sometimes take a back seat to cost when companies turn to external
services firms, the team believes that it should be a fundamental requirement in any services
engagement
