Recognition by ABI Research as Leading QMS
In June 2024, ETQ was named the "Overall Leader" among QMS suppliers by market research firm, ABI Research, in its "Quality Management Systems Software Competitive Ranking Report."  The report represented an in-depth assessment and ranking of 19 QMS suppliers, which were evaluated based on a comprehensive set of criteria, including breadth of features and functionality, data visibility, accessibility, security, and user experience, among others. In addition, the assessment evaluated the QMS vendors' ability to deliver rapid time-to-value, the experience of delivering the software to manufacturers, the breadth of the vendor's partnership base, and the solution's ability to enable customers to meet regulatory and standards compliance.

Growing Customer Base
In the second quarter of 2024, several leading manufacturers in industrial, food & beverage, electronics, life sciences, aerospace and other key markets around the world chose ETQ Reliance as their QMS of choice. New customers and existing customers who are expanding their use of ETQ Reliance include manufacturers such as Kingspan, Tetra Pak, PhysioLogic Devices, PolyNovo, Divergent, Micronics Filtration Holdings, Farsound, NuSkin International, Bekaert, Rochester Electronics, QinetiQ and ThreeBond International.

Expanding Thought Leadership, Participation in Industry Events
The ETQ EU Summit meeting was held in June and brough together quality management and IT professional from across the continent.  Attendees spent two days hearing from current ETQ customers and ETQ staff to learn about the latest technologies and best practices in quality management, and health and safety and receive training to enhance their ability to optimize ETQ Reliance to deliver the strongest business impact for their organizations. Additionally, several attendees were also Hexagon customers, so the event provided an excellent opportunity to build a total quality perspective to their organizations by supporting end-to-end quality control, quality assurance and quality management.

During the second quarter of 2024 ETQ executives joined their manufacturing and quality peers to share their expertise and thought leadership. In May, ETQ's VP of Product Marketing, David Isaacson, joined ETQ customer Mike Farrell of Illumina, at the ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement (WCQI) in San Diego to discuss how Illumina is using flexible and configurable technology to meet changing industry and business requirements and ensure compliance as new products, markets and locations are added to the corporate infrastructure.
