Streamlining Validation to Save Over $130K Annually and Accelerate Compliance

Customer Profile

A global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) operating across nine international manufacturing facilities, supporting the development and production of life sciences products for clients worldwide.

Key Challenges

  • Validation processes varied widely across facilities, creating inefficiencies and a lack of visibility into compliance status.

  • Spiraling FTE hours spent managing outdated workflows.

  • Urgent need to validate critical SaaS systems during a major Microsoft Dynamics ERP implementation.

The old way involved more documentation and less critical thinking. The shift from CSV to computer systems assurance (CSA) turned this model on its head. Now, we succeed with less documentation and more critical thinking. With Res_Q, a project requiring 15 validation packages has now been reduced to less than 10.”
