New Module Allows Cost-Effective Integration of MasterControl Training with Document Repositories.


SALT LAKE CITY -- MasterControl Inc. today unveiled a new module that allows easy integration of MasterControl Training[TM] with external document repositories, such as Documentum[TM] or Agile[TM], without the need for expensive custom coding.

Most FDA-regulated and ISO-certified companies rely heavily on electronic repositories to store and manage SOPs, forms, and other documents necessary for compliance. They may have invested substantial amounts in document management technology before realizing their other needs, such as employee training, which cannot be met by their current solution.

MasterControl Document Connections[TM] enables companies to complement their repositories with MasterControl Training to help ensure regulatory compliance, promote efficiency, and keep training documentation always ready for FDA inspections and ISO audits.
