Secure, Reliable Data Storage

Qudos 3 IMS Software uses a robust, industry-leading MS SQL Server database to offer more secure, reliable data storage with the best options for analysis, reporting, and notification - helping you access important information and distribute it where needed in your organisation. This trusted platform will help you turn data into actions and better decisions.

A range of security measures including advanced encryption are utilised to protect your data.

Controlled access is via individual User IDs and  passwords. Your own administrators may enable each user's view/edit rights access based on selected criteria to best suit your needs.

The Master Document List displays approved documents in their native formats in read-only mode - eliminating the possibility of unauthorised changes to them. Authorised changes are by a controlled Revision process - requiring appropriate security permission and password sign-off.

In major data-entry forms throughout the application - such as Objective, Audit Record, Meeting Record, Risk Assessment, Benchmark Assessment, and Action Forms - the integrity of data is protected by locking with unique User ID and Password.
