Page 1: Quality Management System Vendor Software System Use Benchmark March2014
Page 2: Quality Management System Vendor Software System Use Benchmark March2014

OVERVIEW The purpose of this survey was to collect data from companies on enabling technology currently

used to support key areas of their Quality Management System.

Data was collected from the LinkedIn Quality & Regulatory Network group representing over 77,000

professionals worldwide. Over 620 members from multiple industries participated.

Key Findings:

• Although many enabling technologies are available for both small and global companies, the

majority of organizations still use manual methods to track and manage their Quality

Management System.

• Many participants commented on the both the benefits of an electronic system and platform and

also the challenge on configuring and sustaining quality software especially globally.

Listing of all Software Vendors mentioned by participants in this survey can be found in the

Appendix.

Any questions about this Survey can be sent to Nikki Willett, Founder/Owner LinkedIn Quality &

Regulatory Network.

• Make use of secure / cloud based document repository. • We are in the process of implementing an ERP system and this will make it much easier to manage our Quality system. Full integration is

definitely the way forward. • It needs to be integral part of overall approach over all areas of the value chain QMS, DMS, Dossier management, RIM, IDMP, R&D, Clinical, PV. • Bite the bullet and go for it. Best thing we have done. • We have been planning an EQMS system, but there are only few systems that are available also for small companies. And systems that are able

to serve our company though the growth are in current situation expensive for us when costs for the start e.g. validation of the system are about the same as the system itself.

• I can't find a good one. They all look clunky at the back despite nice display functions at the front. They lack user interface capability to be intuitive. I get the impression they are all working off a similar 10-15year old backbone.

• Whichever system is used needs to be customized to suit needs of individual company, especially when transitioning form paper based. • Make sure they have a compliance consulting group available for help. • Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. A good systems evaluation will always get the ball rolling. If you don't have those resources on-

site using a consulting company can be a great place to start. really great job. No pressure, told us just what we needed with no overselling. • The best would be a QMS to incorporate all these modules and have reports for Management Review. • Integration is key. • Trouble making business case for quality related technology. • I prefer one large system that can manage as many aspects of my QMS as possible. • Next generation is SAP. • Commercial systems are complicated and not very intuitive. Always need customization (extra time and cost) and cost more than original

quotes. • If done correctly and with one system, the system can deliver the Annual Report for each product within hours instead of weeks if done

manually.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BY PARTICIPANTS • Global processes are challenging to create, deploy and maintain. • "Quality efforts should always be embedded in, and supportive of, the business operations. In my view, too many of the QMS software

systems are too standalone - they don't integrate with what the business is doing." • "QMS software systems are never accessible to everyone, which defeats the object." • "I have developed and implemented QMS software systems in some very large international companies - they weren't entirely successful

(the clients were happy) because the company culture prevented access by all." • People sometimes forget How / What they have to do and so leave it, then the efficiency of the system does not work. • Understand your processes and linkages and spend time mapping them out and improving them before turning to technology. Ensure

whatever system is chosen is scalable. • My company will introduce company wide SW platforms for these topics in the coming 1-2 years, as part of a Quality improvement

program. • Software tools are great, but the downfall I have found with multiple systems is the initial configuration that causes problems once in use.

It is well worth the time and effort engaging the software vendors early and getting robust feedback from your sites regarding how the system will be used in 5 years time to ensure that the configuration is thought through properly. Usually the system gets blamed for the problems a company has when it was the set up and knowledge regarding how it was to be used that was at fault.

• The full benefits of introducing an enabling technology are difficult to define but also, the costs of implementation and maintenance are often not well understood ( training and validation in particular).

• Enterprise Quality Management needs to lead to global corporate process standardization. • It is never what you want. You have always to change your existing process. • Many products tend to be 'over-built'. • PLM seems like the trend to integrate all business. • Would love to have QMS software system(s), but unable to afford at this time. • Virtual company - just starting our QMS electronically.
