"Although business growth is positive, it can lead to inconsistencies in quality control," said Michael Lyle, president and CEO, InfinityQS. "Mergers and acquisitions, the presence of multiple plants, and the usage of disparate technology platforms make way for a prolific amount of quality data that is nearly impossible to aggregate, leaving many without the meaningful insight they desire. A quality hub serves as an intelligent clearing house, bringing together these various data sources and creating a unified point of visibility to help manufacturers drive quality improvement and make more effective business decisions."

As outlined in the eBook, a quality hub can mitigate problems caused by a complex mix of the following:

Processes: A quality hub offers the flexibility and speed to standardize data and globally integrate systems, no matter what controls are in place or where data are stored. Different tools and techniques resulting from M&A activity or legacy processes are no longer hindrances.
People: Instead of accessing isolated data to provide only localized insight, quality teams can use the hub to gain a holistic view of overall enterprise performance. Also, executives have visibility into timely, actionable information to fuel improvement activities.
Technology: Regardless of the coexistence of old and new equipment, conflicting data formats, or a complex data chain, a quality hub brings data together into a centralized database for optimal accessibility. Cloud deployment options can extend a hub's capabilities to make data available from virtually anywhere, at any time, via any device.
