SGS Launches New Approach to Certification - Utilizing Data to Develop Custom Business Enhancement Solutions

Geneva, Switzerland--(Newsfile Corp. - May 16, 2018) - For decades, SGS has been known as the global leader in certification, working with clients in virtually any sector. This deep and broad experience in quality control management, regulatory compliance, and training has resulted in a staggering array of data points across industries. Utilizing this data set, we have evolved our service offerings to include Business Enhancement - the process of transformation that improves or increases the value of an organization's people, processes, products or services. To reflect this evolution, we have developed our Business Enhancement Platform to embody the belief that true Business Enhancement for our partners is primarily achieved by benchmarking against the realities of the business landscape.

The BE platform of innovative solutions is based on three pillars: certification, intelligence and activation.
When combined, they offer solutions based on real-world data.
