Compass Points gives smart users the ability to pinpoint important components in standards, building a breadcrumb trail to that source data for multiple purposes—it’s an easy-to-adopt step towards smarter standards.
Data is growing exponentially in engineering and testing. We designed Compass Points to help you keep your standards data accurate and manageable. Easily add overlays, diffs, and exceptions to define and refine your requirements. Share a Compass Point with your colleagues in your LIMS, PLM, MBSE, and ERP workflows processes to always stay informed about key parts of standards. Keep projects on track despite evolving protocols.
Each Compass Point includes the standard publisher, standard number and title, creator’s contact, date, time plus notes and overlays. Users can name the Point to associate with a project code, part number, or process ID for easy retrieval. A spreadsheet view by standard and by account makes it easy to sort your standards data. Compass Points will always keep you informed when a standard is updated,
reducing risk for your organization.
