To be effective, a quality
management software system
must be integrated into
the production systems it
monitors. You can create
a truly integrated quality
management software system
by integrating EtQ's
FDA Compliance and Quality
Management Software
applications with your ERP,
MES, LIMS, and other production
software. The EtQ Integration
APIs (Application Programming
Interfaces) provide real-time
communication to and from
3rd party systems and set
the foundation for a variety
of cost-saving and productivity-enhancing
solutions.

With
the EtQ Integration APIs
you can:
| • |
Reduce
the time and cost
of dual-entry in EtQ's
Quality Management
Software System by
looking up part, product,
supplier, and customer
information directly
from your existing
systems |
| • |
Eliminate
the quality gap by
automatically converting
defects identified
by your production
systems into Nonconforming
Material reports
in EtQ's Quality Management
Software System |
| • |
Shorten
your inventory cycles
by automatically releasing
products put on hold
in
your production systems
when the appropriate
investigation and
release phases
have been completed
in EtQ's Quality Management
Software System |
| • |
Minimize
risk in product releases
by scanning systems
for open Quality issues
prior to release,
and automatically
preventing product
releases if issues
are found. |

Production
data is often needed
in quality records.
For example, a Nonconforming
Material Report
needs a description
of the part of product
where the defect was
found.
A Corrective
Action Report
needs contact information
for the customer or
supplier involved.
Change
Control Requests
need to identify of
the equipment affected
by the change. Using
a Subform Setting
Lookup Formula, part
of the EtQ Integration
APIs, you can lookup
this information directly
from production systems
that run on top of
a relational database
(e.g., Oracle, Microsoft
SQL Server or any
database that has
an ODBC interface).
Instead of retyping
the information into
EtQ fields, users
can pick from a drop-down
list (e.g., of part
numbers or supplier
codes), and all the
related information
will automatically
be copied from the
remote database tables
to the EtQ form. As
a result, operators
save time and avoid
errors. In addition,
consistent use of
the codes stored in
your production systems
will make it possible
to produce analytical
reports that combine
production data and
quality data (e.g.,
compare total product
hold time to total
production time).

Automatic
updates to your production
systems create a truly
closed-loop quality
management system.
They make EtQ an extension
of your production
process, a complementary
system that increases
the value your production
systems by efficiently
closing the quality
gap.

The
EtQ Integration APIs
run with EtQ's Quality
Management Software
System on multiple
operating systems
and database servers.
See the EtQ Web site
for details about
supported platforms.
The EtQ Integration
APIs are included
with EtQ's Quality
Management Software
System and require
no separate installation.
Communication with
3rd party systems
is performed using
JDBC or Web Services.
