In the framework of IESCOM's policy to spread environmental and legal knowledge
and culture in different languages to satisfy the needs of Muslims worldwide,
IESCOM has established a standard system by which quality is achieved in its
projects and products.
IESCOM incessantly develops its methods in work to accommodate the huge
development in information technology and international quality systems to come
out with a standard system that is both stable and capable of satisfying the
growing technological needs.
IESCOM also selects high-caliber cadres in the fields of programming and
project management to put solutions into action and to develop products with
professionalism and quality. This is achieved through a developed system of
project management maintaining both: the centralization of monitoring and the
decentralization of management.
The work environment is also often enhanced in IESCOM so as to achieve the often
unreachable equation inclusive of accuracy and quality on the one hand and the
client's satisfaction on the other through decreasing the cost and increasing
the productivity.
Procedures:
Before IESCOM initiates the development of its law and environment sites,
it pays special attention to the procedures of quality assurance and emphasizes
that they are applied alongside with the execution of the development of its
sites as follows:
-
Start Point:
In this stage, the client's needs are defined to assure that the product will
satisfy these needs and to set the quality prerequisites and to plan them. Thus,
the start should be appropriate and considering of any needs.
-
Planning:
According to the previous step, various tasks and the time needed to accomplish
each task are defined. A detailed plan is set and the quality assurance
procedures to be followed are detailed.
-
Execution:
In this stage, the needed elements are designed and developed, the quality
assurance procedures are simultaneously carried out as the team in the project
follows these procedures, and the revisions are done by the quality management
to ensure that this is carried out.
-
Control:
In this stage, the fact that the tasks are carried out on time and according to
the predefined budget is verified.
-
Delivery:
This includes the delivery of the final product with the quality that achieves
the goals and recording the learnt lessons during the project and generalizing
them on the other project managers.
Development Stages:
Working in developing sites and scholarly content goes through several stages
according to what is needed to be displayed and to the type of information
required to be displayed.
-
Digitization Cycle:
This represents the first stage of development. It includes several secondary
stages:
-
Converting the text from its printed form into a
digital form that can be dealt with on the computer.
-
Conforming the digitized text to the original
(printed) text to ensure the quality of its entry,
titles, pages, footnotes, references and sources.
-
Linguistically correcting the text. This correction
includes spelling,grammar, "tashkeel", making a
table of contents, indexing, connecting the texts
subject-wise. Then, this information is sent after preparing it
to the databases.
-
Art Designing Stage:
In this stage, the art design of the web pages is carried out by a group of
artists and professional designers. A selection is made from a number of designs
and the final design is selected with the agreement of the client.
-
Programming Stage:
In this stage, databases are dealt with and converted into web pages or to
electronic graphics that can be published on the Internet or saved on CDs. The
most recent programming programs are used by a group of specialist youth
programmers.
-
Testing Stage:
This stage includes testing what has been programmed and ensuring the
appropriateness of the links between the elements and their related subjects. It
also includes reviewing the search results and the subject-tree and ensuring its
validity on the Intranet before it being accredited on the web site.
- Release Stage:
This is the final stage as the web site is inaugurated. Thus, accessible by
those interested in law and/or environment.
IESCOM guarantees the quality and preciseness of the
texts as each stage is succeeded by a comprehensive revision - there is a stage
devoted to revise the indexing, a stage devoted to revise the listings ... etc. Then, the
texts go through the linguistic and research quality assurance teams so as to
permit its publication.
