Software for quality and compliance management
has existed almost from the start of modern structured quality and compliance regulation, processed and systems in organizations were implemented. With the rise of the “International organization for standardization” and the global acceptance of the ISO 9001 standard in organizations world-wide as well as the ever increasing modern globalization, the requirements of the economy have changed. From global applicable regulation as well as international standards, market and customer requirements the need for organizational processes to comply has increased greatly. The purpose of such is to achieve the ever increasing quality and performance needs to remain competitive and compliance in the international markets. This has also changed the needs regarding the quality, compliance and auditing solutions from the basic requirements for document management, knowledge databases to modern quality and compliance management systems as we know them today.
Quality management software development
has often been taken on by global companies as an internal project or solved with whatever available tools and solutions that were already in place. The need to meet the requirements for compliance and risk management in international business with long and complex supply chains as well as the introduction of digital documents, workflows and processes adhering to standards that are regulating and standardizing many industries and businesses today.
With the ShakeSpeare® QMS – Quality management Software organizations benefit much more than just reducing the costs of the in-house solution development. The ShakeSpeare® QMS solution allows for a fast go-live as well as on boarding of employees in an organization through a market-proven and stable technical solution thus reducing the common risks taken on by in-house software development: runaway costs, no in-house professional knowledge on software development and implementation, dependency on key IT employees know-how, poor documentation of in-house solutions and legacy dependencies preventing such solutions to keep track with modern times and operations. No matter how far from the Head office or the compliance department, modern technology allows organizations to be more efficient in process management, tracking and take an active approach to risk and compliance management. The provisions that are important to solve non-compliance issues can be tracked and distributed throughout the global organization as well as controlled and managed in an efficient way. A very important point is also automated escalation to HQ or QMS/Compliance department if claims and non-conformity management processes get stuck in some stage.
Modern software solutions for quality management
support and automate the document generation, auditing, document publishing as well as process configuration in the software itself to digital and evaluate the company processes.
In our opinion the compliance field is one of the most extensive where the need to custom-fit solutions is rising and will remain so in the coming years and maybe even decades. The implementation of our software supports QM and RM managers as well as auditing organizations such as Bureau Veritas and even government organizations in various countries.
Modern-age companies need to make sure that they are always a step ahead of the competition. One of many important parts of that strategy is also a modern quality and compliance software solution that allows to identify and manage weak spots in the process landscape. Quality managers need modern tools to implement a quality management organization globally and gather the information to understand the organizations processes on a global level. If there are issues in the supply chains the relevant information needs to be gathered in an effective and centralized way. The quality manager needs to know when, where and how the problems are occurring in order to be able to quickly implement corrective measures in order to minimize risks. These measures need to be tracked and documented. All of that is impossible to do without proper software to support unless many new resources are added to the quality organization.
With the ShakeSpeare® technology we support various use-cases in the fields of quality, compliance, auditing and risk management for different industries and purposes – manufacturing, service industry, governments, research and innovation as well as academic organizations, healthcare, financial industry and government agencies.
ShakeSpeare® QMS / Auditing System
can be implemented with an integration in the workflow itself to government clouds, core-banking systems, patient data or clinical information systems and allows for a clear overview in larger organizations, companies and governments. The implementation is often a multi-stage project with agile project management or sometimes also as a waterfall project in which ShakeSpeare® becomes an integral part of a complex IT/IS landscape in an organization.
Independent from the field of business or activities, the value-add of the ShakeSpeare technology in QMS/RM/Compliance or auditing is substantial. We allow for deployment of customized solutions to support processes and process flows and all that with a comparatively low engagement in terms of resources needs that it is almost unbelievable that an organization can receive an adapted solution to their processes in such a short period of time.
Contact us and ask about various use-cases we implemented often or discuss your specifics that you need support with. We will be happy to present to you our technology and implementation approach with a brief presentation of best practices in our experience.
