   Regulatory Demands

   – Avoid 483s, warning letters, and maintain consistent
     compliance (i.e. GxP , 21 CFR Part 11, other FDA/EMEA
     regulations)

   – Alleviate and lessen the risk of stopping production

   – Shorten process timelines by closing issues faster and more
     accurately
/ Case Study


 Profile of the client

 • Mid-sized pharmaceutical company headquartered in the Northeastern
   US
 • Multiple facilities
 • Contacted Montrium regarding implementing a Global Quality
   Management System
/ Case Study

 The state of the environment from a quality perspective

 • Quality not a main component of company culture
 • Quality was an afterthought

 Thus

 • Quality was very decentralized
 • Islands of data and processes existed
/ What is the most pragmatic approach to
  tackling all of these issues?
 An Integrated Approach Allows for a Strategic Approach and Benefits

 •   Customer Service
 •   Regulatory Affairs
 •   Manufacturing
 •   Laboratory and Production
 •   Department Managers
 •   Assigned Parties
 •   Executives
/ Case Study

 Identifying, tracking, and managing quality issues should involve an
 integrated approach that brings together the following entities:

 •   Manufacturing
 •   Research and Development
 •   Regulatory Affairs
 •   Quality Assurance
 •   Quality Control
 •   Drug Safety
 •   Other Areas
/ Power of Integration

 •   Accelerate the time for resolution and closure of issues
 •   Reduce the risk of missing records and data
 •   Spend time on value added activities instead of non-value activities
 •   Reduce the risk of error through entering in data multiple times
 •   Allows the ability to see across the enterprise and utilize this data for
     metrics and trending
/ Increase Visibility Across The Enterprise

    • Increased visibility across the enterprise by alerting the
      proper users about what due dates are and escalating any
      late issues

    • Increase responsiveness to issues that may arise

    • Elimination of errors and repeat issues by centralizing quality
      processes

    • Preclude product recalls
/ Increase Visibility Across The Enterprise

    • Proactive approach can reduce the risk of repeating the same
      mistakes in the future

    • Keep a positive brand image

    • Reduce the legal risks
/ SharePoint’s Strategic Advantage

     Consider the cost of licensing, support, training, and maintenance of
                                various tools like

 •   Content Management Systems
 •   Document Management Systems
 •   Reporting Tools
 •   Collaboration Tools
/ SharePoint’s Strategic Advantage

     Furthermore and perhaps more importantly, consider the cost of

 • Users’ frustration over multiple tools
 • Management not being able to get their arms around and extract
   organization information
 • Relevant information is not available when needed
/ What is SharePoint?


   “Microsoft SharePoint makes it easier for people to work together. Using
   SharePoint, your people can set up Web sites to share information with
   others, manage documents from start to finish, and publish reports to
   help everyone make better decisions”
