MasterControl has announced the availability of MasterControl QAAD Version 7.0, which enhances the company's offerings for quality process, audit, and issues management
"QAAD has long been recognized as an audit management solution with a high level of flexibility and configuration possibilities to meet the various client needs," said MasterControl CEO Jonathan Beckstrand.
"Version 7.0 continues to build upon the dominant position of QAAD in regulated industries".
Following the acquisition of AMG IT Systems last year, the release of MasterControl QAAD Version 7.0 further demonstrates MasterControl's commitment to supporting, enhancing, and improving the MasterControl QAAD product to meet the ever growing needs of companies doing business in regulatory environments, it says.
A flexible, workflow-driven, standalone corrective and preventative action functionality.
Dashboard reporting further extends the enhanced flexible reporting feature introduced in Version 6.3 to include the possibility of an updating display of scheduled trend charts all from within the application.
New audit wizard functionality has been added to give users the option to create and use an Infopath wizard or a Word-based wizard.
The Infopath option provides a new interface with the latest technology, but the system configuration allows Word technology to be used if preferred.
Other MasterControl QAAD Version 7.0 enhancements include links into the MasterControl software suite, the removal of character limits in rich text fields, and a flexible process capability for observation response authorizations including the use of multiple authorizers and possibility for re-authorization to be performed.
These, along with other GxP specific enhancements, introduce new functionality that will benefit the current offerings as well as expand MasterControl QAAD into other GxP regulated areas.
MasterControl 's QAAD and MasterControl offerings provide integrated compliance software solutions that allow life science companies to meet and exceed the strict requirements of regulatory agencies globally, but hundreds of companies also use the software for compliance with ISO standards and similar regulations.
MasterControl facilitates compliance management by automating and managing document and change control, training management, audits, corrective/preventive action (CAPA), customer complaints, nonconformance disposition, deviation handling, electronic batch record (EBR) management, and other GxP processes critical to regulatory compliance.
