Hey all.
I work for a small medical device contract manufacturer/contract service provider. We currently use IHS to track our standards, and it's time to renew our subscription.
We only have a dozen or so standards on the watch list, and I've only referenced maybe a handful of them over the last year or so, so I'm curious about: 1) is it worth maintaining a subscription to something used so sporadically, 2) Do others use similar services? If so, which ones, and are you happy with them?, and 3) Is there a different method, especially considering our size? I'm debating creating a table with the standards we have/ and use, revision/review dates, standard status, etc. and just periodically reviewing the table for changes in the standards, and going away from the subscription altogether.
Thanks much!
