Modernizing Quality Management

Greater regulatory scrutiny and the growth of global outsourcing have made quality management complex. Most life sciences companies are using legacy systems that are not designed for collaborating with external partners, such as contract manufacturers and suppliers.

Further complicating quality management, there are often separate solutions for managing controlled processes and regulated content. Even for a simple corrective and preventive action (CAPA) that generates a change control requiring document modifications, content workflows are managed independently from quality processes. This gap between systems creates risk and manual overhead.

Veeva QMS is a cloud-based quality management solution that provides best practice processes for deviations, internal and external audits, complaints, lab investigations, change controls, CAPAs, quality risk management (QRM), and proactive management initiatives. With a modern, easy-to-use web interface, Vault QMS drives higher user adoption with minimal ongoing support.
