Software validation is required by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other key regulators to ensure that the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device firms' chosen enterprise software system – whether developed in-house or under contract – will be fit for purpose, and that it will consistently deliver the required outcomes.
The validation process is complex. It requires firms to follow specific controls and procedures, and then to provide detailed evidence that the system satisfies all requirements. Should an enterprise system be upgraded, then the validation process needs to start all over again. This is a time-consuming effort that many pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device firms choose to manage manually.
However, the AX for Pharma 365 Validation Toolkit™ takes away the burden and makes the process simpler and easier. The solution enables timely validation by providing templates, documents, and procedures aligning with Good Automated Manufacturing Practice 5 (GAMP5) guidelines and recommendations.
