Cambridge, MA – December 7, 2011 – Validated Cloud, the leader provider of qualification and information technology services, today announced that Validated SharePoint for the Biomedical and Pharmaceutical industries is immediately available for deployment on the Validated Cloud platform.
“Companies within the Life Sciences vertical have been enabling business using SharePoint for the last decade,” explained Duncan Berkeley, Validated Cloud Product Manager at Validated Cloud. “More recently, those business functions have moved into the cloud and substantial cost savings have been realized. At Validated Cloud, we understand the compliance-related challenges that our industry must face and have developed Validated SharePoint for the Life Sciences for our clients so that their Quality divisions can more easily enable validation. Requiring no long-term contracts, our pay-as-you-go and pay-per-user pricing options enable our clients to realize the same cost savings by transitioning their qualification-dependent SharePoint processes into our fully hosted and supported validated cloud.”
Douglas Lantigua, Principal at Validated Cloud, continued, “In addition to the collaboration and storage features which come standard with SharePoint, Validated Cloud has wrapped SharePoint in compliance to meet qualification requirements. There are challenges with Office365 especially qualifying it properly as well it is not backed up by Microsoft. With Validated Cloud’s solution, we’ve absorbed your cost with regards to validation by deploying SharePoint on the Validated Cloud, a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant cloud computing infrastructure that has been fully qualified according to Quality System and GxP regulations. In addition, for companies who are in need of the process workflow functionality which accompanies enterprise-grade validation lifecycle management solutions, we’ve built the same optional features into SharePoint for the Life Sciences – freeing the industry from the capital costs of compliance.”
SharePoint for the Life Sciences is available to all Validated Cloud clients to leverage for regulated collaboration, process workflow and document storage. Clients can choose from a variety of different configuration options ranging from standard deployments, which can include pre-configured modules that can be pulled from Validated Cloud’s document library, to fully customized and engineered solutions. Regardless of the client’s regulatory requirements, Validated Cloud will identify the support option that best aligns with the client’s threshold for risk. The tiered managed services offerings incorporate fully supported SharePoint solutions, a client-managed option or a hybrid opportunity for partnership. SharePoint for the Life Sciences has been developed on Validated Cloud which provides a fully qualified, 21 CFR Part 11, Quality System and GxP compliant hosting environment for the infrastructure, platform and SharePoint.
