Find out how we assuaged the company’s plight by engaging with them at key stages and utilizing the systems expertise of our Senior Consultants to ultimately reduce the scope of the issue, remediate systems and conserve time and money.

The Situation

FDA audit findings required that approximately 2,000 GxP software applications be assessed for remediation to current CSV standards and procedures
FDA completion commitment timeline was 12 months
Systems included enterprise, spreadsheet and business unit specific systems cross organization (including cloud, in-house developed, LMS, ERP, Lab, manufacturing, clinical, etc.)
Systems ranged in both risk and complexity

USDM performed a detailed assessment of all systems determined by client to be GxP compliant and reduced the number of systems in the client’s original scope by over 80%

We ensured that proper justification was in alignment with both customer SOPs and global regulatory guidelines, leveraged existing documents wherever possible and developed a streamlined risk program.

USDM managed the program and remediated 287 systems – including 86 that were identified by client during the project and initially out of scope.
