Passing the audit with flying colours, the Auditor described RTS’ software process management as ‘excellent’.

internal communication and the implementation of the intranet to capture news, updates and discussion forums across all areas of the business.
Gary Walsh, Managing Director of RTS Life Science commented ‘we are continuously striving to prove our business processes, cut out wasted effort and deliver quality systems to our customers. This certification is testament to the effort of all RTS personnel and their commitment to deliver
exemplary projcts in a professional and timely manner’.
