All these have been demonstrated by Digital Encode in its areas of operation,” the statement added.

He explained that it was in recognition of the awardees’ commitment to quality consciousness in all aspects of their operations that they were being recognised with the prestigious awards.

Oluseyi Akindeinde, chief technical officer, Digital Encode, said: “It gives us great joy to be recognised by a global quality measurement organisation. It is perhaps a further reflection of our overall quality of service. Digital Encode assists corporations and businesses achieve compliance to global cyber security standards. “We basically handhold them and give further advisory services in order to mitigate the risks associated with cyber attacks.”

The award has shown that Digital Encode translates strategic business objectives into sound, achievable technology solutions.

“This award, which is coming after several laurels we have received in the past few years, will further encourage us to do more in promoting quality in our operations.

He added that Digital Encode represents what quality brings to mind terms such as inspection, process control, auditing, and standards. “While Quality indeed includes these Principles, it also includes for example, Management Systems and continuous improvement, customer satisfaction and market focus, teamwork and the well-being of employees. These are what Digital Encode stands for,” Obadare said.
