Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle validation requirements in technology strategy?
Validation is integrated throughout our approach. We assess validation status of existing systems, categorize systems per GAMP 5, design architectures that facilitate validation, plan validation activities in migration roadmaps, and ensure all technology recommendations are practical within GxP environments.
Can you help select and implement validated systems like LIMS or MES?
Yes, we provide end-to-end support from requirements definition through vendor selection, architecture design, validation planning, and implementation oversight. We have extensive experience with leading life sciences platforms and understand both the technical and validation aspects.
What's your experience with pharmaceutical manufacturing IT?
We've worked with numerous pharmaceutical and biotech companies on manufacturing IT including MES implementations, process automation, batch record systems, equipment integration, and manufacturing data management. We understand both IT and OT convergence in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
How do you approach cloud strategy for GxP systems?
Cloud for GxP requires careful strategy addressing data sovereignty, vendor qualification, data integrity, disaster recovery, and ongoing compliance. We help evaluate cloud readiness, select appropriate cloud models (SaaS/PaaS/IaaS), design compliant architectures, and develop validation approaches for cloud systems.
Can you help with research informatics and laboratory IT?
Absolutely. We provide strategy and architecture guidance for ELN, LIMS, SDMS, research data management, scientific computing infrastructure, and integration across the R&D technology landscape. We understand both the science and the IT requirements.
Do you work with global pharma companies from Basel headquarters?
Yes, we regularly support global pharmaceutical companies headquartered in Basel on enterprise-wide technology strategy, global system harmonization, architecture standards, and coordinated technology roadmaps spanning multiple countries and sites.
