Administrators reviewing platforms.
An understanding of environments is recommended.
Ideagen Quality Management 7 can currently be accessed via both a Web and Windows client. Our roadmap is driven by a Web-first user experience and as such, we are moving away from the need for a Windows client, apart from areas of setup, config and identified infrequent admin activities, which will remain in a simplified and targeted "Admin Console".
This article outlines the current module and feature comparison on each interface.
