Robert Gaertner, senior director of strategy for Veeva Vault Quality looks at the steps manufacturing companies need to take to improve their content management systems.
Life sciences companies with legacy content management systems are facing a multitude of challenges, from inconsistent taxonomies to compliance risks. Quality teams are burdened with complicated requirement definitions, along with configuration and validation processes, when best practices or industry standards are not in place. Irregular naming protocols, patched together systems, and the use of non-validated tools add further complexities. How can organisations harmonise their quality processes and improve the efficiency of their quality content management?
We are already beginning to see a positive shift as more companies adopt modern systems that have built-in best practices and can consolidate GxP and corporate governance. However, even before implementing a new system, companies can transform quality content management with greater alignment, streamlined processes, and improved efficiencies, by modelling practices according to industry standards.
