Why Computer
System Validation? |
|
Companies strive to create goals,
processes, culture, management, and incentives that
build infrastructure. Computer Systems (software) are
a dominant and increasing part of business infrastructure.
Computer System Validation is process validation and
has the following benefits: |
| |
. |
Provides documentation
required by FDA, other regulatory agencies, and
your customers. |
. |
Maximizes the value of the
computer system and the employees that use it. |
. |
Reduces labor costs by increasing
employee efficiency and effectiveness. |
. |
Enhances project management
to ensure projects are implemented on schedule
and on budget. |
. |
Saves money by discovering
defects early, before failures occur in production. |
. |
Reduces risk. Legal liability,
not regulatory, is often the most important reason
to perform validation. Software and process defects
increase with software complexity. Having the
evidence that computer systems are correct for
their purpose and operating properly represents
a good business practice |
. |
Promotes continual process
improvement. Software is constantly evolving to
keep up with the increasingly complex needs of
the people that use it. Therefore, validation
is an ongoing necessity. |
