Invensys and Centric Software Announce Joint Validation Management Application for Life Sciences Sector
Invensys Process Systems and Centric Software announced the availability of an application that coordinates the management of the regulated validation process in the medical device, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries.
In partnership with Centric Software, Invensys Validation Technologies developed the validation application on Centric's Product Intelligence software. This application enables life science companies to automate the documentation of validation processes to help reduce the time required to obtain FDA validation for new process plants. The critical validation process documents all evidence that a system is performing according to exact specifications and that all related equipment is implemented and tested correctly.
"As consultants focused on the life sciences sector, our goal is to help our customers use technology to create efficiencies in the compliance process and speed new products to market," said Mike Howden, director global business systems solutions, Invensys Validation Technologies. "Because Centric's Product Intelligence technology tracks the history of documents from many sources right out-of-the-box, we saw that the technology could also be used to give our clients an automated solution for validation processes."
"Using their deep industry knowledge and expertise in technology and compliance, Invensys Validation Technologies has created a truly unique automated solution for life sciences companies that will alleviate the pressure from compliance with validation regulations," said Chris Groves, chief executive officer, Centric Software. "We look forward to working with Invensys to apply the power of Product Intelligence to a critical industry challenge."
Centric's Product Intelligence applications deliver complete visibility into the live product, project, and financial information pulled from multiple systems, combined with information entered directly into the applications. The project execution capabilities coordinate the project, process, and documentation needs of distributed project teams.
Invensys Validation Technologies provides regulatory compliant solutions, products and services for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, cosmetic, contract and device industries, providing regulatory-compliant process automation, legacy system migration, system integration, collaborative engineering, manufacturing, and other solutions for the supply chain.
