Creo Quality, headquartered in Indiana, was originally established to assist life science organizations with product development, quality systems, and project management needs. As Creo Quality's list of clients and contacts grew, it became apparent that there were a number of organizations requiring not only tactical assistance, but more importantly strategic assistance.

Life sciences is an area receiving a great deal of attention these days not only in Indiana, but throughout the United States. As such many organizations believe having a strong life sciences presence is critical to their success. While numerous not-for-profits, government agencies, and tactical service providers are helping bring greater visibility to the local, regional, and national life sciences landscape, they are not utilizing a holistic approach. In order to address this unmet need Creo Quality recently shifted its focus to providing strategic solutions that look at the entire business operations rather than just individual tactical needs.

License & Registration Please

"License and registration please." How many times have you heard this? Have you heard it with more frequency in the past 3 months that any other 3 month period you can recall?

He belie… Continue

What's your tagline? How do you pitch?

Disclaimer: I'm an engineer who knows enough about marketing to be a little dangerous. I'm typing this post because many of you are in fact marketing experts. I truly would like your opinions. It has been nearly two years since I received my first pay check for Creo Quality. The business model has been fairly consistent but the actual services have evolved slightly. And I rarely put much emphasis on the importance of a clear, concise message or… Continue

Can Water Be Moved?

I live in Morgan County and have seen plenty of flood water this weekend. Obviously, many other communities in Indiana have been dealing with the same problem: lots of water but no where for it to go. Conversely, I've heard about the terrible drought conditions in Florida and California. If only there was a way to transport the excess water in Indiana and ship it to drought areas.

Has the Mighty Google Been Infiltrated?

How many of you use Google tools (GMail, GCalendar, etc.)? I use quite a few. I recently received an email claiming to be from Google customer service saying that my GMail account is going to be shut down if I didn't reply. Then today, I received a invitation via GCalendar: Dear Account User This Email is from Gmail Customer Care and we are sending it to every Gmail Email User Accounts Owner for safety. we are having congestions due to the anonymous registration of Gmail accounts so we are… Continue
