January 10th 2013 -- Montrium (http://www.montrium.com ), the industry leader in strategic technology management for GxP environments in the life sciences, today announced that the validated, Cloud based Montrium Connect solution, powered by Microsoft SharePoint 2010, is now being utilized by InSymbiosis (http://www.insymbiosis.com) of Montreal, Canada.
Many life sciences organizations have expressed a desire to focus on their core competencies without the burden of managing IT and related compliance activities. Montrium Connect Cloud Solution was specifically designed to give organizations the peace of mind that their data is secure and compliant all within one validated cloud.
“Montrium Connect Cloud Solution is a major milestone in bringing Records, Quality and System Management solutions to the life sciences industry within a validated cloud (SaaS) environment. In the past, typically only large organizations would have been able to utilize this type of system due to the high cost of implementation and demand on internal resources. With Montrium Connect Cloud Solution, organizations of all sizes can now easily and cost-effectively benefit from this technology,” said Montrium’s President and CEO, Paul Fenton. “The launch of our Records and Quality Management Workspaces with InSymbiosis are the first of many processes and activities which can be managed through Montrium Connect Cloud Solution.
Montrium’s Records Management Workspace includes eTMF and the management of other business process documents. The Quality Management Workspace, encompasses the Controlled Document Management (i.e. SOPs), Incident Management, CAPA, Audit Management, Vendor Management, Change Control and Training Management Modules.”
“SharePoint 2010 provides a range of collaboration capabilities that allow life sciences organizations to connect people, insight and processes, ultimately realizing increased productivity, more efficient operations, and lower costs,” said Andrea McGonigle, managing director, Microsoft Life Sciences. “By utilizing the Montrium Connect Cloud based pre-configured SharePoint workspaces, companies such as InSymbiosis can take advantage of easy-to-use content creation, management and search functionality, all while managing documents and records from a single platform.”
“We are excited to be working with Montrium and to have taken this step to enhance our Records and Quality Management processes by incorporating the Montrium Connect technology” Said Dean Wenham, President and CEO of InSymbiosis. “This simple transition from a paper based system to electronic document management has greatly enhanced the efficiency of our collaborative drug development model where we now have a powerful environment to share information with our clients and partners as well as provide our small, virtual biopharma clients and partners with a platform in which they can reliably store, access and share their drug development documentation“
