HOLMDEL, NJ – April 7, 2009 –
Sparta Systems, Inc., the maker of TrackWise software, and the market leader in enterprise quality and compliance management, today announced that Chiesi Farmaceutici SPA, a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the research, development and commercialization of ethical therapeutic products, has selected its TrackWise Enterprise Quality Management System (EQMS) to reduce the cost of compliance and streamline organizational quality practices. Chiesi will leverage the TrackWise software specifically to manage quality processes including audits, non-conformance, corrective and preventative actions and workflow verification.
Stringent regulations guide every aspect of the development and production processes for pharmaceutical manufacturers, requiring companies to implement rigorous procedures for documentation and auditing. With the global economic downturn already limiting organizational resources, companies are recognizing the need to streamline processes and reduce the cost of compliance while maintaining high quality standards.
Like most life sciences companies, Chiesi previously relied on a paper-based model for tracking all corporate quality assurance (QA) processes. In order to more efficiently manage these crucial procedures, Chiesi sought an automated system that would reduce the time spent validating processes and identifying irregularities. By selecting Sparta Systems’ TrackWise software to manage audit workflow, Chiesi now expects to reduce cycle times and normalize data between departments, improving visibility by making reporting simpler and more accurate.
“Given Sparta Systems’ fundamental knowledge of the life sciences industry, quality practices and reporting requirements, Chiesi understood it had a partner that would leverage industry best practices to boost our compliance initiatives across the organization,” said Dr. Francesca Bacchini, corporate QA research and development head of Chiesi Farmaceutici Group. “In choosing the TrackWise Quality Management System to streamline audit processes, we expect to see a quick return on our investment, expanding the solution across our entire quality assurance unit.”
“TrackWise will enable Chiesi to improve quality and identify operational risks by facilitating the full lifecycle management of audits and help ensure that their findings are resolved in a timely and effective manner,” said Yaniv Vardi, general manager, Sparta Systems Europe. “Global organizations realize that in using TrackWise they can more efficiently manage quality across the global supply chain, reducing the cost of compliance and paving the way for future growth.”
