Webcast Summary:

In Aberdeen’s July 2007 benchmark report, The Cost of Quality Matters: Benchmarking Enterprise Quality Management, participating life sciences manufacturers were conservative in their adoption of technology to support quality management across the enterprise – even in a time of increased regulatory vigilance and FDA recommendations for integrated, electronic systems.

Aberdeen Research Analyst Matthew Littlefield will explore the quality practices of best-in-class life sciences companies, as well as the significant benefits these companies have achieved as a result of adopting an electronic quality management system.

A Sparta Systems presenter will show how TrackWise’s powerful, workflow-driven system closes the loop on quality processes by tracking, managing, trending and escalating issues across the quality chain. The presenter will also show how TrackWise addresses the identified key practices of best-in-class electronic QMS adopters, including:

• Standardization of quality workflows
• A clear escalation procedure path
• Automation of manual processes
• Traceability and visibility across the quality chain
• Audit management and documentation
• Data system integration
