ETQ, part of Hexagon, launched a new release of its cloud-native QMS, Reliance NXG, allowing teams to create and edit Google Docs natively in Reliance. The company also launched its latest application, Quality Events, giving quality users the broadest set of deviation management capabilities in the industry.
The integration between ETQ document control and google docs is among the key updates to Reliance NXG.
“The new release of Reliance NXG was designed to enhance team collaboration and boost the user experience, bringing customers the tools they need to better meet quality goals,” said Morgan Palmer, ETQ Chief Technology Officer.
With Reliance NXG’s Google Docs Collaboration feature, teams can create and edit documents in the Google Docs system. The capability leverages ETQ Reliance workflows to control the editing and approval cycles for documents; and manages ongoing access to the documents and editing history in a Google Docs repository through Reliance access rights.
ETQ also now offers the Manufacturer Incident Reporting (MIR) form as a standard form within the Life Sciences Management Application Set. This is a form for the European Databank on Medical Devices (EUDAMED) that the EC (European Commission) requires for medical device manufacturers that sell into the European Union.
The new Quality Events application enables users to manage a broad set of unexpected deviations and provides a single source of entry to capture any event that may impact quality or adherence to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice). It also provides a standard process for identifying the root cause of a deviation to determine if further action is required and ensures each investigation is performed consistently and expeditiously. Quality Events can help users assess the deviation to determine if it requires the costs and time involved with Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPAs).
The Quality Events application further extends Reliance’s market-leading range of functionality to help manage and maintain quality when things unexpectedly go wrong. The application joins ETQ Reliance’s Planned Deviations, Lab Investigation, Customer Feedback, Customer Complaints, NCM, and CAPAs.
