HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Sep 18, 2013) - ImpactWeather, a StormGeo company, was awarded certification under the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9001:2008 criteria this week.

The achievement of certification indicates that the company has passed a rigorous audit process and proven their ability to ensure consistency in their service deliverables. Internationally recognized as mark of excellence for organizations across many industries, ISO certification is particularly valued in the oil and gas industry, and various regulated industries, such as banking and healthcare, as well as all publicly held companies. ImpactWeather counts dozens of the world's leading companies amongst their clients.
"Since being acquired by StormGeo in 2012, which is also ISO certified, ImpactWeather has had as a primary goal the achievement of this distinction," states Mark Chambers, president of ImpactWeather.
