Int. SPICE Days: Conference successfully started on Monday morning
iSQI's Director Stephan Goericke (right) welcomed Andreas Wacker (left), representative of the main sponsor VDA-QMC, in Prague.

The SPICE Days 2007 in Frankfurt/Germany have been a great success. I’m proud to invite you to the SPICE Days 2008 in Prague.
An international standard is only of little value, when there is no consensus about a uniform understanding of the standard. ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE), as an international standard, is practiced and applied worldwide, however, sometimes in different manner and scope. There are still varying interpretations of the base and generic practises defined in ISO/IEC 15504 part 5.
It needs still some effort to achieve a homogeneous and consistent application and comprehension of the standard. It is necessary to have a platform that allows and fosters discussions, experience exchange as well as consolidation on the development and management of SPICE in the future.
The International SPICE Days 2008 offer a great opportunity to present experience reports, to discuss with colleagues from different industries the newest developments of SPICE as well as to learn about the newest advancements. Become active and use your chance to learn more about the standard.
As the conference chair, I will be very pleased to welcome you at the International SPICE Days 2008 in Prague.

As the President of the International Assessor Certification Scheme, iNTACS e.V., I am proud to present The International SPICE Days, co-organized by iNTACS and iSQI.
The international SPICE days 2008 are an excellent opportunity to the SPI community to present experience of reports, to discuss the development of the SPICE as well as bring experts and practitioners from the industry and science with interested participants together.
iNTACS is the home of professional SPICE assessors. The scheme is maintained with direct support of industry. iNTACS certified assessor are the first choice for assessments.
We are building up strategic partnerships to extend the basis and the worldwide availability of the scheme. Our partnership with the VDA (Association of Automotive industry) is only one example.

Yours sincerely
Peter Bölter
President of iNTACS
