Software Validation.....What is this?...
Here at work we purchased a copy of GageTrak Calibration software.
We purchased it 3 months ago and haven't started using it. When
you try to open the software, it is password protected and only the
IT folks can get in. When I ask the IT folks and the QA Manager
what the problem is, they say "You can't use it until we get it validated"
What kinda crap is that????.......I mean I understand proving out
a software package that has a DIRECT impact on quality but even then,
how do you validate a software package?....
It seems to me that you select a software you want and buy it...then when it
comes in, if its what you want USE IT.....
Can anyone give me some clarification on this?
Thanks,
