Working to extend Quality Manager
Interestingly we are now working to extend the Quality Manager application in the area of requests and approvals of new policies and procedures, and in enabling a consultation process where comments are received from authorized users, before the policy is approved and formally issued in the Bookshelf application.
Our challenge here is actually how to understand what needs are generic, and which ones are specific to an individual company works. This requirement has always been acknowledged and understood, it is great to finally see the work start. We will need to make the configuration very flexible, so that smaller companies without for example a formal consultation process for new policies are not forced by our software to adopt one. It may even be that for some companies only certain policies and procedures need such workflows and consultation, others can just be created by quality managers.
