A common criticism of ISO 9001 is the amount of money, time and paperwork required for registration. Opponents claim that it is only for documentation. Proponents believe that if a company has documented its quality systems, then most of the paperwork has already been completed. CIS software can reduce the need for a system based on the production of hard copy documentation, therefore reducing the possibilities for nonconformance’s due to obsolete documentation use. A CIS consultant can open up whole new possibilities for an organization struggling with document control, and much more.

If the only documentation available for use is always current and all obsolete documents are stored in a history tab (Unavailable for use), then the auditor will never be able to write another corrective action based on the use of obsolete documents. Wouldn’t that be great! And just think, how much time will that save when you no longer have to hunt down all the obsolete documents in your facility before the auditor arrives. Bliss
