Secure, Reliable Data Storage

Qudos 3 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.

Controlled access is via individual User IDs and encrypted passwords. Your own administrator may enable each users view/edit rights access on a modular basis as best suits 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 User ID and encrypted password.

Easy to Use

For the technically minded, the Qudos 3 uses leading-edge Microsoft Dotnet technology - the industry standard for web-based, enterprise software.

For the rest of us, that means that the user interface is a clean modern look in a familiar web browser environment. There is no installation necessary on client-side computers - resulting in much less maintenance work for IT personnel, no delays for new users, and multi-site / off-site capability.

To save time and effort, Qudos 3 automates many tasks for you - such as scheduling document reviews, generating actions from meetings, audits and risk assessments, and generating email notifications.

Flexible Licencing for cloud or server installation

The basic Qudos 3 is licenced for up to 5 full users + 1 bonus user + an unrestricted number Guest users who may view/print documents. Increases to licence size are available in units of 5. Each full user is licenced for full read/edit rights in all modules. Your own administrator may permit read/edit access on a modular, business unit, or location basis to best suit your needs. There are no concurrent restrictions - All users may access the software simultaneously.

The applications' design enables a range of installation options to suit every need:

• As a traditional software package - for installation on your own server by your technicians or ours
• Hosted for you on our own dedicated servers - with a standard software licence
• Cloud Software-as-a-service - with contract periods starting at just 3 months!

The cloud hosted options offers a quick start and no hassles - we do the installation, provide secure, encrypted access, maintain your software in a secure data centre, and automatically apply any updates for you. We even do off-site backups of your documents and data each business day. Facility is also provided for you to take your own back-up copy on demand. You require little more than a broadband connection and a browser! If required, your system may be quickly converted to a self-hosted, full software licence at a later date.

We believe the combination of these advantages offers a most compelling business case for any organisation seeking to manage compliance and risk. That's why we call Qudos 3 the Ultimate Solution for Compliance and Risk management.
