2008 has proven to be a year of exponential growth and opportunities for EtQ, Inc, providers of Quality Management Software (QMS) and Environmental Health and Safety Software (EHS).

As a result of providing high-end, robust enterprise solutions with quick return on Investment for its customers, EtQ saw exceptional growth in 2008. This growth is a continuation of EtQ’s steady double-digit growth for the last five years, and represents one of the most successful years for the company. Throughout 2008, EtQ was implemented in several notable customers, expanding their Medical Device presence to include 5 of the top 30 medical device companies, adding to the global customer base and garnering almost 35% of the Top Medical Device companies. EtQ also expanded the customer base to include several Fortune 500 companies, in both Quality Management and Environmental, Health and Safety product suites. EtQ has attributed its exponential growth to its great return on investment and its ability to be configured by the user, resulting in decreased implementation timeline and lower total cost of ownership EtQ continues to stand out against its competition as the most robust, cost-effective, intuitive to use solution due to the flexibility provided through its robust set of best-in-class, integrated modules and its ability to be easily configured, no programming necessary.

“We are very pleased at the rate EtQ has grown throughout 2008,” stated Glenn McCarty, Chief Executive Officer at EtQ. “2008 brought several new additions, including the release of Quantitative Risk Management, Web 2.0 features and Clustering technology, as well as the introduction of new modules such as Supplier Management and the Enterprise Configuration Center. Going into 2009 we will see the release of Reliance 6.2 technology innovations, developed with a focus on our customers requirements in order to enable them to meet their business goals today and well into the future. EtQ’s broad market presence serving numerous compliance and regulatory initiatives allows EtQ to develop a platform approach to solve a multitude of compliance challenges for the benefit of all of our customers. We continually find that a compliance challenge in one industry is an opportunity in others. A recent example of this is our quantitative Risk Management technology borne from our experience in automotive and EH&S industries that is now being used within our quality management framework to prioritize quality management events such as CAPA. We are looking forward to continuing our journey in 2009”

EtQ looks forward to a rewarding year in 2009 with even greater growth and accomplishments, and thanks all of its customers, partners and employees for their support.
