industry requirements and the associated technological complexity all ensure we must be in keeping with the trends, and we can survive these only with tailored innovation. The major focal areas of our innovation are acquisition of personnel skillsets, technological procedures, and equipment for quality services. Of the many success stories, we at Envaserv take delight in our ISO/IEC 17025:2015 accreditation acquired within the shortest timeframe on our first attempt. When the company took the decision to acquire the quality and competence certification, it had little knowledge of the detailed procedures and requirements but had rudimentary preparation for ISO/IEC 17025:2005. The company made an instant decision to go in for the new ISO/IEC 17025:2015 accreditation since companies would have three years to transition from the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 to ISO/IEC 17025:2015. Teamwork was at peak of display, and the company was able to meet all the requirements for the ISO/IEC 17025:2015 within just a week. We view the feat a major milestone against the backdrop of absolutely no experience and on first attempt. Furthermore, the company flawlessly executed a highprofile offshore marine benthic investigation in the deep sea ecosystem for an oil and gas company within time and budget to the admiration of not only the client but all the regulatory agencies. This feat ensured the company was invited as a resource to develop standard protocols for marine ecosystem environmental surveys and research. We take good delight in these achievements.
