The World Wide Web has become an extremely valuable tool for quality managers. It facilitates research, information exchange, purchasing and more. Quality Digest is proud to have been a Web pioneer, launching Quality Digest Online (www.qualitydigest.com) in August 1995.
We believe that our Web site should contain more than just the contents of our magazine. For a Web site to be valuable, it should contain information that isn't found anywhere else. Here's what you'll find on Quality Digest Online:
 The complete text of Quality Digest. Each monthly issue of Quality Digest is available free of charge online, including articles, columns, departments, news and buyers guides. Plus, when available, we add additional information to complement the text.
Daily news updates. Each business day, we post quality-related news stories on our home page. We're the only quality publication keeping its readers informed and up-to-date on a daily basis.
LeadNet. Our new online reader service feature allows readers to get free product information from our advertisers faster than ever before. Simply click on the LeadNet icon on our home page to request free information and visit our advertisers' Web sites.
Exclusive online columnists. We're the only quality publication to feature Web-only columnists. Each month, John Guaspari, Philip Crosby, and Pat Townsend and Joan Gebhardt share their quality and customer service expertise online.
Free searchable ISO 9000/QS-9000-registered company database. We're the only publication to feature a free, searchable database of all ISO 9000- and QS-9000-registered companies in North America. This is a great resource for determining if your suppliers and/or competitors are registered. You'll also find a list of accreditation bodies and registrars with complete contact information.
State quality awards directory. Our exclusive listing of state quality awards includes contact information, deadlines and award categories. It saves valuable time in your search for award information.
A comprehensive list of quality-related links to other Web sites. This list contains more than 100 links to quality-related Web sites on topics ranging from best practices to job searches to health care.
Back issues. You can search through more than four years of back issues for quality articles, columns, departments and news.
We are working on a host of additional features to make our site even more useful. Some of the features that we are working on include:
Shopping. This will allow visitors to Quality Digest Online to purchase software, books and other quality-related products online in a fast, easy and secure environment.
Interactive quality resources database. This feature will allow visitors to find providers of quality products and services in nearly any industry.
International ISO 9000/QS-9000-registered company database. We will soon expand the coverage of our free, searchable ISO 9000- and QS-9000-registered company database with the addition of a global database of registered companies.
