Cedval Simplifies Compliance
Our experience in the healthcare industry and with the financial regulations will benefit your efforts to bring your IT into compliance. We specialize in IT and know the procedures and requirements for IT in a regulated environment.
Due to the exigencies of regulated industries, specifically the FDA regulated industries, virtually all software has to undergo what is termed ‘validation’. Validation is a complex and tedious process that requires specialized knowledge as well as significant time. In many cases, the validation of a single package can take up to a year to complete; upgrades also have to be validated before they can be applied, although, depending on the nature of the upgrade, this can be a lesser process.
Because of the time and expense involved in validation, many of the smaller companies cannot afford to validate non-core products (ie., products not explicitly and directly related to their operations), they have to forego the benefits of many peripheral products, such as monitoring, as the immediate short term cost is too high for their cash flow to absorb. In order to assist these companies adopt monitoring software that can help them reduce their IT costs and enhance their compliancy with FDA regulations, we have developed a validation package for the monitoring software, and are in the process of creating a similar set of tools for the helpdesk solution. This development allows a small company to use our validation and very greatly reduce the amount of additional work they have to do while still providing them with all the benefits enjoyed by large Pharma.
