Many companies are experiencing extreme challenges these days, but we've noticed a few companies that are incorporating Quality Companion by Minitab into their process improvement programs seem to be holding their own.

For example, Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, reported a 16 percent revenue increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 2008.

Harris Corporation also was recently named one of the world's most admired companies for the third consecutive year in an annual survey by Fortune magazine.
Xerox Global Services, which has been using Minitab Statistical Software for many years, began using Quality Companion in 2007. This customer-focused division helps businesses simplify work processes, manage office technology and in-house print shops, digitize paper files, create digital archives and much more.

During 2008, Xerox Global Services generated $3.5 billion in revenue, a 3 percent increase over 2007. Smart companies maintain their focus on quality regardless of the economy.

Organizations like Xerox and Harris know the value of improving their processes, and it shows. They also know the value of using the best tools, and it shows in their selection of Quality Companion to help support their improvement programs.
