Product News: EtQ Announces Latest Release, Reliance 6.2

Improvements include automation, integration, and reporting utilities.

(EtQ Inc.: Farmingdale, NY) -- EtQ Inc. has announced enhanced features in the latest release of its web-based enterprise system for quality, compliance, and environmental health and safety management, Reliance 6.2. 

EtQ Reliance 6.2 incorporates enhanced features and utilities including automation, integration, and reporting. Enhancements to the latest release include:

  • Searching and filtering: With EtQ's advanced searching features, users will now have the ability to perform saved searches. This feature is designed to provide users with an easy way to access recent searches, while providing up to the minute search results. EtQ has also introduced a global search feature from a new search bar at the top of every page in EtQ Reliance. This enables users to conduct a Google-style search across all data within EtQ Reliance, providing a high-level keyword search across the entire system.
  • Enterprise configuration center: The EtQ Enterprise Configuration Center (ECC) is a tool that enables a centralized resource for managing multiple facilities. EtQ’s ECC enables EtQ administrators to distribute administrative ownership based on location, allowing for configuration of each location in a centralized application. Reporting and business intelligence have been made easier using the ECC, allowing companies to roll-up companywide data into quantitative reports that show top compliance risks across each site within the enterprise.
  • Customer complaints: EtQ’s Customer Complaints module allows the user to track all aspects of their customer data including links to open material returns, contact information, complaints, and more. It includes the ability to generate a customer complaint form with risk assessment and links to corrective action.
  • Connection profiles: EtQ's Connection Profiles is a graphical web-based administration tool that enables integration between EtQ Reliance and third-party business systems. Through the use of simple administration forms, users can connect EtQ Reliance applications directly to third-party systems to integrate data from ERP, MES, LIMS, PLM, EDMS, and more. EtQ Connection Profiles will dramatically enhance the ability for business users to leverage integration technology without programming, and provide increased visibility into other critical systems in the enterprise.
  • Flexible decision trees: The EtQ Decision Tree allows users to create a web-based list of related questions that are dependent on each other, so that the results of the questions will affect the business process and produce quantitative results such as a risk ranking, subsequent questions, or related actions. In the latest release of EtQ Reliance, users are able to use EtQ’s graphical administration tool, EtQ Designer, to seamlessly produce Decision Trees in any application.
  • Centralized reporting: EtQ’s Centralized Reporting function includes 3-D, radar, and polar charting, as well as the ability to define upper and lower control limits for each chart type. Charts can also be produced from any view with a single click, allowing the user to visualize data quickly and easily—enhancing an organization’s decision-making abilities.

“EtQ’s flexible workflow platform continues to allow workflows, sections, business rules, reports, as well as the look and feel to be configured without programming, allowing users to match their business process exactly, and further enabling a user-friendly environment,” says Morgan Palmer, chief technology officer at EtQ.
