Excellence Through Quality

EtQ is the leading Enterprise Quality and Compliance Management Software for identifying, mitigating and preventing high-risk events through integration, automation and collaboration.

EtQ uses best in class integrated modules and enterprise application integration to manage and measure quality and compliance processes and execute organizational change.

EtQ is the first company to provide a flexible application development technology for creating and accessing custom vertical industry applications for use with a web browser client or a Lotus Notes client. EtQ's technology powered their first vertical applications; EtQ Medical Device, EtQ Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology, EtQ Manufacturing, and EtQ Environmental Health & Safety. These applications have achieved tremendous success in organizations of all sizes in various markets around the world.

EtQ's mission is to make Quality, Compliance, Environmental, and Health & Safety business process management and business communication easy and efficient. Founded in 1992 by former lead auditors of Underwriters Laboratories, EtQ has always had a unique knowledge of quality and compliance processes, and has always strived to focus on making overall quality operations and quality systems better for businesses. The development of EtQ software came out of a growing need in the market for software that is able to automate the various, business processes and workflows associated with Quality and ISO standards. EtQ was able to develop a platform concept that is robust enough to handle all the workflows and business rules associated with Quality Assurance, but is flexible enough to be changed as needed, without programming.

EtQ pioneered this concept in 1993 and called it, "Flexible Workflow Engine" platform. It allows the process steps, form layout, fields, form sections, approvals, notifications and hundreds of other features of each compliance process to be pre-set with intelligent, condition-based decision capabilities so that the user does not have to "remember" the process. This process automation can be as open or prescriptive as is required. This feature results in up to a 400% decrease in the total cost of ownership of EtQ software over other applications.

EtQ is a customer-focused company and has achieved success through a dedicated focus on understanding the requirements of our customers and responding with software products that help our customers better achieve their business goals. EtQ is focused upon emerging technologies and dedicating resources to assure that EtQ software maintains compatibility with industry leading standards and best of breed functionality. EtQ is dedicated to continuing our customer focus to define EtQ Reliance as the market leader and our customer’s preferred choice for enterprise quality systems and compliance management solutions.
