Create your own training database
An in-house QIS user-training program can be a cost effective way to get greater
returns from the data and information in your QIS. Such an on-going training program
yields more when you train with actual data from your process. Because it is not
advisable to use your production system for training, QiSOFT can help. The definitive
guide to creating a QIS training database with your production data is now available.

Certificate of Analysis
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) is a report usually sent to the customer at the time of shipping the finished goods. It contains information relating to quality ie. what were the quality tests done and the product conformance in each of those tests(results). QIS includes an extremely robust and full-featured Certificate of Analysis module that is built into our core product. Since our support team is fielding more and more questions about CofA generation and our development team has been enhancing this module, we thought we would focus our first QIS Webinar on this topic. You will learn:- How the CofA module works "out of the box" with your QIS system and Crystal Reports
- To configure customer profiles to handle customer specific reporting/data needs, including test names, conversion factors, etc.
- How our CofA module helps track product geneology from your various QIS processes
