Separate User and Quality Manager Views

Users need to find and review relevant information - Quality Managers need to manage that information.

Ensuring the target audience has reviewed key information

Moving all critical information to true online content.

Where the volume and interrelationships of procedural information is large online content provides considerable advantages.
