Prometeus Global Solutions has obtained from AENOR the certification of conformance to ISO/IEC 25000 - Functional Adequacy, for their product Prometeus Delfos.
This certification has been achieved thanks to the collaboration between AENOR, AQCLab and Prometeus Global Solutions, following the software product quality evaluation and certification process. Thus, AQCLab has carried out the evaluation of the software product Prometeus Delfos 1.0.0 and has supported Prometeus Global Solutions in the improvement of its quality in order to achieve the ISO/IEC 25000 certification.
Prometeus Delfos is the natural language query bar integrated into Prometeus Intelligent Data Suite (Prometeus IDS), a solution for analyzing data from an organization and its environment that was also previously certified as conforming to ISO/IEC 25000. Delfos provides an interface to interact with IDS and obtain graphs, lists and tables automatically, through its natural language processing bar, using artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic techniques.
The Functional Suitability evaluation helps to ensure that the software product being evaluated fully and correctly meets the requirements specified for it. In addition, the Functional Suitability evaluation helps to improve customer confidence and satisfaction, and provides an element of differentiation from the competition.
The issue 361 of the AENOR magazine (September 2020) includes an interview with Juan José Legarreta, Director of the Business Travel Division of Viajes El Corte Inglés, after becoming the first travel agency in Spain to obtain a Data Quality Certificate conforming to the ISO/IEC 25012 Standard. The certificate has been issued by AENOR after the evaluation carried out by AQCLab.
The interview highlights how data is the present and future of companies and organizations, and in the case of Viajes El Corte Inglés, how the use of reliable data has allowed them to make the best decisions in terms of travel policy and dealings with suppliers, especially in a complicated situation such as the crisis caused by the COVID-19.
The certification, obtained for the business travel datalake of Viajes El Corte Inglés, has also brought them other benefits, such as the improvement in data quality KPI measures, the identification of records or attributes that require monitoring for their potential to present quality problems, and the perception of data quality improvement by their external customers.
Finally, Juan José Legarreta concludes that the certification will allow them to present themselves as a Data-Driven agency, that processes information to better serve their clients and develop a more Customer-Centric approach.
AQCLab has signed an agreement to become a Research Partner of aQuantum in the field of Quantum Software Quality. This is one of aQuantum's strategic R&D lines in the field of Quantum Software Engineering and Programming research and development, as reflected in the Talavera Manifesto commitments.
The aim of this partnership is to improve the evolution of research in this new and disruptive field, which will benefit from the exchange of ideas and points of view of both organizations, as well as from the experience of AQCLab in the evaluation and improvement of software quality.
AQCLab has participated in the development of the new version 3.0 of the MAMD model (Alarcos Data Improvement Model), in collaboration with the Alarcos research group and DQTeam. This is a model that integrates the processes of data management, data quality management and data governance in a joint and coordinated way, so that any type of organization can evaluate and improve the capacity of its data related processes.
This model allows organizations not only to perform technological management of data infrastructures, but also to ensure that the design, management and exploitation of data is done in accordance with their organizational strategies (which implies data governance), and that the data used is suitable for the intended use (which implies data quality management).
The model is composed of a total of 20 processes grouped into 5 maturity levels, and based on it, companies can certify the maturity of their processes related to data quality, management and governance according to the scheme of the ISO/IEC 33000 family of standards. In addition, MAMD is also aligned with data quality evaluations based on ISO/IEC 25000, so that organizations that follow the model are in a position to obtain a certificate of data quality in their repositories.
You can request to download the model (in Spanish) though the form on the MAMD website.
AQCLab presents the article "Assessing data cybersecurity using ISO/IEC 25012" in the special edition of Software Quality Journal regarding Quality Management for Information Systems. This article presents the data cybersecurity assessment model based on the ISO/IEC 25000 family of standards developed by the laboratory.
Due to the growing importance of data as the main driver of value in companies, data quality and, specifically, data security are of the utmost importance. Because of this, AQCLab has complemented its data quality evaluation model with the definition of a framework for the evaluation of cybersecurity specifically focused on data. In turn, this framework complements and aligns with other existing standards and models which focus on management systems and security infrastructures.
This evaluation framework establishes the basis for certification of data cybersecurity, which will reinforce other certifiable data and security-related standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 8000.
