  • 1.  Workflow Options

    Posted 04-24-2021 14:54

    I was given a list of user needs to take under consideration while exploring 3rd party software solutions for electronic record and workflow management. We are currently using Enzyme QMS for all the Quality Records so that we can be in compliance with ISO 13485, CFR Title 21 Part 11, and ISO 9001, however we have some legacy information that is still printed out, passed around for approval, and then scanned in for record. (Please don't judge :-) we are cleaning things up now). Additionally, there are some old spreadsheets we want to migrate into this new workflow. Anyone have a suggestion for a great workflow tool?
