AQ QMS · Quality management systemThree silos, one quality team trying to hold them together.
Nine controls across the document lifecycle, one governed record.
Each workspace writes to, and reads from, the same controlled-document record — from first draft to the certificate a researcher holds at the end.
My Vault
Where a controlled document begins — draft, upload, check in and out, and hold the discussion against the document itself.
Shared With Me
Every document sent to you for review or approval, with the cycle’s history attached.
Quiz Manager
A reusable question bank and the quizzes built from it, linked to documents to turn a read into verified competency.
Publish Documents
The final gate. Only documents that have cleared approval appear here, released with their assignment configured first.
Document Library
The single current version of every published document, with learning progress and access held against it.
Document Control
Organisation-wide oversight — every document’s stage, owner and dates, with transfer and archiving under re-authentication.
My Learnings
A researcher’s own assigned reading and knowledge checks, with a certificate issued on passing.
Dashboard
Compliance across the whole organisation, in six views — including Pending Focus for the biggest backlogs.
Reporting
Compliance, pending-work and document-trend reports, grouped and filtered, exported for governance packs.
From first draft to a certificate on record.
One document, four stages, four workspaces — each with Connected Intelligence drafting the work and a named user deciding. Select a stage to follow SOP-014 through it.
The SOP a reviewer approved is the SOP every assigned member of staff actually reads.Four roles, four workspaces, one document that never leaves the record.
Each role acts in its own workspace and hands the document to the next. Nothing is re-sent, re-keyed or chased between them.
Compliance you can interrogate, not just quote.
The Dashboard summarises. Reporting turns the same underlying record into the exact slice a governance meeting or an inspector asks for.
A shared drive, an inbox and a spreadsheet answer to no one until the monitor arrives.
Controlled documents on a shared drive, approvals chased over email, training tracked in a spreadsheet, competency checks on paper — none of it reports its own state, and none of it agrees with the others by the time anyone checks.
MHRA inspection findings repeatedly cite investigational product accountability and storage records — the documentation most often held on paper, and the least able to report its own state.

Either. Mandatory reading and the quiz requirement are two independent settings on publish — a document can require acknowledgement only, a quiz only, or both. If the quiz toggle is on with nothing linked, publishing is blocked until one is attached.
