Modern QMS software solutions should be cloud based, easy-to-use, and must include the following components: Complete and Unified Application - Siloed and disconnected QMS systems not only waste time and money, but they can also put an organization at risk. Bringing all quality processes, document management, data analysis and training into a single unified software can increase visibility and reduce risk. It also gives managers, employees, contract manufacturers, suppliers, and auditors all access to a single application, which can improve collaboration and provide users with better control. Visibility - In today’s complex and competitive markets, organizations need to be proactive in identifying, preventing and fixing inefficient processes as they are happening, rather than after the fact. Modern Quality Management software should include real-time visibility into all quality activities to eliminate delays in quality analysis. Control - Leaving sensitive data unprotected and accessible to anyone exposes organizations to significant risk and subsequent financial and reputational consequences. Modern Quality Management software must allow companies to easily control access, visibility, and permissions to make sure that only the right people take the right actions at the right time, without compromising data integrity or history.
