Advanced
systems architecture simplifies implementation,
validation and integration
Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager is built
on a Microsoft .NET architecture that offers all
the benefits of a browser-based, zero-client application
– easy system deployment, validation and
maintenance – without the compromises to
performance that typify browser-based applications
based on previous technologies. Further enhancing
performance, the software’s n-tiered architecture
separates the data store and user levels to reduce
both the activity over the network and burden
on the database. |
|
The
software’s unique database design offers incredible
flexibility to meet each company’s and each department’s
unique needs. In addition to the built-in features for
calibration, maintenance and validation, the database
and user-interface design offers a wide collection of
user-defined fields, which means that each department
can track exactly the information they need. This flexibility
means that the software can also be used for related
applications such as IT asset management and environmental
monitoring management.
Blue
Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager's service-oriented
architecture makes integration with other systems, including
ERP and document management, easier and less costly.
By separating activity performed by the application
into discrete services the system can accept information
and instructions from other applications or share information
with other applications without cumbersome and intrusive
interaction directly with the database fields.
The
Enterprise version of Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset
Manager allows for the deployment of the application
at multiple sites. This broader deployment of the application
drastically lowers total implementation and validation
costs. The Enterprise version offers additional features
to enhance productivity, compliance and flexibility,
with the ability to customize settings, fields, time
zone, language and cultural settings by site.
Reduce
total time and costs to implement and validate a new
system
When
using internal or inexperienced resources, implementation
and validation of new asset management systems can be
a long and painful process. It can disturb your ongoing
operations and delay the final implementation of the
system with no assurances that the validation will be
performed to regulatory requirements. For this reason,
and to reduce the risk of compliance failures or audit
issues (including the dreaded 483), many of our customers
have turned to us for tools and assistance during validation.
Validation
of a GxP software database is generally comprised of
three steps - defining system requirements (URS - User
Requirement Statements) matched to the software's functional
requirement (FR), qualifying the software vendor, and
performing the IQ, OQ, and PQ of the software. Blue
Mountain Quality Resources has the experience and resources
to help organizations easily and efficiently satisfy
each of these steps.
Many
customers take advantage of our Validation Services
to manage the complete validation. By outsourcing this
activity to someone with substantial experience, companies
can drastically reduce the total validation time. Companies
validating on their own can experience IQ and OQ completion
times of months, sometimes much longer if any unanticipated
difficulties arise.
For new facilities or when under pressure to comply
with regulatory “recommendations”, it is
often necessary to get a new calibration, maintenance,
or validation department up and running on a tight schedule.
Sometimes short timeframes are further dictated by a
desire to harvest the return on investment from more
sophisticated software package sooner.
Blue
Mountain Quality Resources has the experience and resources
to get you up, validated, and running quickly, enjoying
the maximum benefits of the new system. The experience
of our technicians means that the implementation is
done efficiently. And the depth of our resources means
that certain steps in the implementation and validation
process can be performed in parallel, further compressing
the time required to complete implementation.
We
can manage your complete implementation, right through
the validation, or help you overcome specific bottlenecks
in your implementation. Our implementation solutions
give you the flexibility and the resources to put you
on the fast track.
Benefit
from industry best practices and expertise
We
have been working with clients in regulated life science
industries to improve productivity and compliance since
1992. We employ service professionals and trainers with
direct asset management experience in those industries.
This combination provides us with unique access to industry
best practices and expertise. We share this industry
best practice with every implementation
and optimization of Blue
Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager we’re involved
with, offering timely advice on how best to make use
of the applications within the bigger picture of a facility
or organization. However, we not only help companies
make the most of these systems, but also offer assistance
in establishing SOPs throughout the different disciplines
of asset management.
Blue
Mountain Quality Resources also offers a regular and
growing series of training
sessions on industry topics, from introductory courses
on calibration, maintenance and validation for individuals
new to those fields within life sciences to courses
on larger themes such as the latest trends and best
practices for managing all the departments and interests
that go into asset management.
Reduce
total costs with multiple-site implementations
The
FDA is increasingly requiring consistency across operating
divisions of corporations. For example, manufacturing
and processes that take place at one site need to be
similar to those in other locations. A single installation
over multiple sites will also reduce the cost in application
licensing fees, corporate IT resources, validation,
training and internal auditing.
The
Enterprise version of Blue
Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager makes tracking
calibration, maintenance and validation at multiple
sites a reality. The software is built on a Microsoft
.NET architecture that offers all the benefits of a
browser-based, zero-client application, including easy
deployment to multiple sites.
Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager offers unique
flexibility within the application allowing for each
site, even areas with sites, to set up the application
to fit distinct requirements. You can customize fields,
preferences, rights, time zone and cultural settings
by site.
Share
information automatically with other systems
To
run your business, you rely on a broad range of different
applications. Each of those applications requires its
own database and handles data uniquely and therefore
usually requires some data to be entered multiple times.
To avoid this duplication of effort, many organizations
have wished that the applications could share information
back and forth automatically.
Blue Mountain Quality Resources can develop and has
developed custom Blue
Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager and Calibration
Manager integration
with other applications to automate the transfer of
information with other applications, including ERP (including
SAP), LIMS, and
many others. The productivity and compliance gains from
this automation can have a significant impact on your
bottom line and improve regulatory requirements set
down by the FDA and Sarbanes-Oxley.
Depending
on the exact needs, Blue Mountain Quality Resources
can create integration that simply passes information
to another application on a regular schedule or as sophisticated
as constant updates between application in “real
time”. The web service architecture of Blue Mountain
Regulatory Asset Manager simplifies integration, making
simple integrations to specific document management
systems or report builders very practical and affordable.
