TrackWise Quality Management Solution Implemented at BioReliance
Holmdel, NJ - January 2, 2008 - Sparta Systems, Inc. (Sparta), the maker of TrackWise®, and the market leader in enterprise quality and compliance management software announce that BioReliance, a leading contract services organization for the biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industries, deployed TrackWise to handle key quality management activities.
As a result of the divestiture of BioReliance from Invitrogen Corporation, the current Invitrogen system - used for Deviations, Non-conformance Reports (NCR), Corrective & Preventative Actions (CAPA), and Audits - will be replaced by a discrete, BioReliance-developed TrackWise system to become the global BioReliance Quality Management System (QMS). After extensive evaluations, TrackWise was selected due to the flexibility of the solution and ability to be configured to meet all of BioReliance's needs without the need for any customization. It is anticipated that this will help BioReliance reduce the validation burden and the implementation time. TrackWise will be initially deployed to handle Deviations, NCR, CAPA, Audits and Complaints. However, the solution was also chosen for its scalability for future use without the need to purchase additional software modules. Phase two of the TrackWise deployment is scheduled for 2008 and this will include Document Management and Training Management.
"BioReliance selected TrackWise as a recognized, established and scalable product that can be configured to meet all of our current scope requirements," said David McErlane, Validation Manager at BioReliance. "The implementation of this system will provide a cohesive quality management system, which we expect will facilitate the continual improvement of our quality process and allow us to deliver the highest standards of quality and service to our partners."
"We are pleased to add BioReliance to our impressive list of customers who benefit from TrackWise as the enterprise Quality Management System of choice," said Yaniv Vardi, Vice President, Operations at Sparta Systems Europe. "More and more companies worldwide are realizing the benefits of TrackWise to ensure compliance, improve control, reduce risk and lower costs by consolidating the management of all quality issues and actions.&quo
