Quality - the Symphony Teleca Way

Our way to achieving a high quality delivery is to understand and manage our customers' expectations. The excellence in our operations is achieved by commitment and innovations.

We execute and deliver according to defined processes that give transparency throughout the process ensuring a level of quality that surpasses requirements. We continually follow up on customer satisfaction and our own lessons learned to support our continuous quality improvement work. Every Symphony Teleca team member is important in our journey of making Symphony Teleca the leader in our business. We are all responsible for quality.

The Symphony Teleca Management System (STMS) provides the framework for working with quality on all levels of the company. We commit to a global approach, as our key customers are global; yet, we need to make sure we can adapt to local requirements efficiently. Many of our projects span across multiple sites, setting tight requirements for common quality management. We make sure the processes and tools we use suit the purpose well and lead us in the right direction.

Processes and policies are the main content of the STMS. The basic elements of it are people with the correct and continuously developing expertise, skilled sales people selling our services, and projects for implementing our software engineering tasks. The processes we use map with these elements. The policies connected to the STMS ensure top management commitment to the most important topics.
