Digitization helps engineers overcome unintended incorporation of out-of-date recommendations, loss of the original source of standards used, accidental deletion of a standard’s source and more. True digitization is more than just going from downloadable to always accessible online.
It requires providing a link to the data in the standard, a link that provides a clear comparison of an older standard to a new version. With the version comparison tool, users can quickly see any changes to a standard since its last publication.
Color-coded highlighting helps you instantly identify changes to standards, saving you time, money, and manpower. No need to manually review and compare documents. Easily add overlays, diffs, and exceptions to define and refine your requirements.
You can then share a Compass Point with your colleague. Keep projects on track despite constant changes to requirements and standards.

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 identification for easy retrieval.
With a unique and permanent data identification, you’ll ensure information shared amongst colleagues is retained, protecting your organization against lost knowledge. A spreadsheet view by standard and by account makes it easy to sort your standards data.
Compass Points are kept in perpetuity for every version of standards from ASTM, ASME, API, AASHTO, AENOR, and others. 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.
