________________________________________________________________
Freehold, NJ (February 19, 2004) Novadebt, a national, non-profit social service agency dedicated to helping those with financial difficulties regain their footing, today announced that their Quality Management System has been renewed as compliant with ISO 9001:2000 standards. This re-certification underscores Novadebt's continued commitment to quality, integrity, and the community.
"We are very proud to have earned our ISO certification renewal," notes Joel Greenberg, President of Novadebt. "It is a testament to the quality of our many dedicated employees and their commitment to providing the best service possible to every one of our customers."
Re-certified by Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQi), Novadebt joins the elite family of businesses and organizations around the world that have earned this distinction. The ISO 9001:2000 certification takes a more process-oriented approach to evaluating the quality of an organization and its activities than previous ISO standards. The certification process involved several days of in-depth interviews with Novadebt employees from every facet of the organization, and a comprehensive demonstration of the organization's process management activities. Throughout this process, Novadebt has demonstrated that its Quality Management System met or exceeded the new standard's requirements.
