Documents are the life-blood of business, used to define processes, specify products, record transactions and communicate with customers
Today's quality standards require that documents and records are accessible, traceable and can withstand scrutiny and audit.
Traditional manual methods of document control carry a significant element of risk.
Electronic control can provide a secure, convenient solution, and WinDocs is a new package from Quality Systems International (QSI) designed to deliver comprehensive document control at an affordable price.
According to QSI's managing director Clive Collier: "Some available systems cost tens of thousands and are far too complicated, whereas the affordable ones are often little more than filing systems".
"WinDocs provides all the functionality needed for real document control at a sensible price." Functionality includes full version control, document review procedures, distribution and access control.
Documents can be cross-referenced and linked to others.
The system offers fast document access with enhanced security protection against unauthorised viewing.
The risk of using out-of-date or unauthorised documents is eliminated.
WinDocs is built on a secure document repository held within an SQL (Structured Query Language) database, the backbone of most modern database systems.
WinDocs is a single- or multi-user application and can be used as a stand-alone package or seamlessly linked to QSI's other quality products like its Winlims laboratory information management system.
