Compliance Success Stories

Pecten Chemical passes first ISO 9000 audit

"Information Mapping provided the framework for Pecten Chemical's quality documentation, and enabled us to achieve ISO registration within one year." J. Dragonetti, President of Pecten Chemical.

When Pecten was re-engineering its business practices and going for ISO 9000 certification, it chose Information Mapping to standardize all of its documentation, and to train Pecten's entire staff.

In one year, Information Mapping and Pecten created a structure and framework for Pecten's ISO documents.

Pecten passed its first audit without any preliminary audit.

Shell Pipeline develops EPA compliant documentation in only 6 weeks

In 1992, Shell Pipeline had just 12 weeks to develop documentation to demonstrate compliance with the Oil Practices Act of 1990.

Covering five different sites in 6 weeks, Information Mapping developed all of the documentation so the compliance information it contained was easy to access and use across all levels of the company.

The Mapped documentation ensured EPA approval of Shell's plan and documentation. Information Mapping is now the official standard for all communications at Shell Chemical R&D.

Redesigned documentation improves compliance rates by 25%

A leading environmental company needed to improve the effectiveness of its online compliance management system to provide all its facilities with critical and timely compliance information. They partnered with Information Mapping to redesign and restructure the existing system.

Information Mapping designed an information structure to communicate and access federal, state, and local regulatory requirements. Online screens were restructured to reflect different levels of information for a variety of users. Users were then taught how to write and analyze information designed for this communication tool.

After implementing the above solution, the company reported a 25% improvement in compliance rates!

Medical device submissions training reduces FDA review time by 75%

When a major medical device manufacturer needed to reduce FDA review time for new device submissions, they engaged Information Mapping to help develop a comprehensive solution that would meet FDA reviewer needs and speed up the writing process. The improved medical device submissions resulted in a 75% reduction in FDA review time.

Mapped SOPs become a model for future projects

When a global pharmaceutical company needed to re-do their SOPs for an FDA compliance audit, they engaged Information Mapping to create standards, and develop over 1000 pages of documentation that could be easily moved online.

The new, user-focused procedures passed the audit, and are now a model for ongoing projects.
