One of the most fundamental requirements for certification with ISO 9001 is an effective document management and control system. More and more industries are choosing to comply with ISO 9001 to assure customers of their adherence to formal business processes.

ISO 9001 comprises of a set of standards for Quality Management Systems (QMS). This set of procedures covers all aspects of a business. Although compliance with ISO 9001 is not a guarantee of quality, it does certify that formal business processes are being adhered to in a commercial environment. ISO standards are applied across several different industry sectors.

To comply with ISO 9001 regulations, companies need a means of ensuring that employees have access to only the very latest version of a document. The SORCE Document Management application contains features that support compliance with ISO 9001.

The document control process consists of the following steps:-

• Checking a document out of the system to alter it.
• Making changes to the document.
• Checking the document back into the system.

When a document is checked back in to the system it automatically updates to the latest version. Document management enables businesses to maintain compliance with ISO 9001.
