BURLINGTON, Mass., November 3, 2020 – ETQ, the leading quality management system (QMS) provider, today announced the availability of enhanced solutions for customers whose QMS must be validated to meet regulatory agency mandates. Each solution is designed to minimize the disruption and effort required of an organization to comply with validation standards while maintaining operational productivity.
ETQ’s validation products for life sciences and other regulated industries are based on a “least burdensome approach” that is fully aligned with regulations and industry guidance, such GAMP5, to offer a comprehensive solution. Because ETQ Reliance is built on a flexible, scalable and secure SaaS architecture, expediated validation of a customer’s QMS can be performed more efficiently and with less disruption to day-to-day activities when compared with manual or paper-based approaches.
ETQ customers have a choice of methods of validation to choose from depending on their specific quality environment and in-house team capacity.
Self-validation using ETQ’s validated platform and documentation
ETQ employs agile development practices to enable faster response times to regulatory changes and technology trends. For each release of the product, ETQ provides all the necessary documentation to show evidence that the system platform capabilities are thoroughly tested. ETQ Reliance is certified to the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013 standards. As part of our software development cycle we make sure that our releases are tested and validated. Included as part of the Life Sciences solution is the ETQ Reliance Validation Execution Package that shows our robust development, testing and documentation approach for our platform and out-of-the-box (OOB) configurations. Customers who choose this “DIY” style of validation are provided with a complete set of documents and artifacts to support their own validation activities.
Use ETQ’s team of validation experts to manage the complete process
ETQ also offers validation services from our team of expert validation consultants. This services approach is risk-focused and based on current regulatory requirements and helps customers remain compliant without duplicating effort. As customers configure and update ETQ Reliance, they need to ensure validation of each change. The ETQ Validation Consulting team can help by supporting and documenting changes, minimizing risk and ensuring controlled change management and traceability. ETQ also provides new release impact assessments that highlight new software features that could potentially impact validation status and documents the assessment and regression testing of the ETQ Reliance platform. The team provides a set of validation services artifacts with the results of each validation cycle.
ETQ’s validation offerings help customers manage their complete validation needs easily and cost-effectively – without the need to bring on additional staff or third-party consultants.
