Data-centric Approach to Document Management

Documents and recorded data are the cornerstones of Quality and Compliance. However, organizations utilizing static documents cannot truly leverage quality data and adapt quality documentation to changing regulatory demands in an agile manner. BIOVIA QUMAS EDMS allows you to move from traditional document management to intelligent Quality Content Control. BIOVIA QUMAS EDMS is a cloud-based data-centric Electronic Document Management software solution that delivers proven regulatory compliance practices for data and document control, SOP management and related training across the business. QUMAS EDMS is an FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant document management system.

With BIOVIA QUMAS Document Management organizations can create and control policies, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, manuals, files and reports dynamically, in compliance with global regulatory mandates. The ability to drag-and-drop content such as Word documents into the user interface simplifies document creation. The solution’s advanced data-centric approach facilitates document creation, search and management.

SOP Management

QUMAS EDMS automates the creation, sharing, distribution and management of SOPs across a global network and tracks SOP lifecycles.

  • Compare versions for easy identification of updates.
  • Access to the SOPs that are current and relevant to your work.
  • Search for content, view it and print it according to permissions.
  • Ensure that the version you are using is the current, controlled version of the document with a fully compliant audit trail.
  • Be compliant with all cGxP requirements for procedure management as well as with 21 CFR Part 11.

eCTD & Submission Management

Preparing an electronic common technical document (eCTD) for a drug application is a complex and time-consuming process. Creating and approving responses in an environment with disconnected systems can delay time-to-market for new drugs and reduce the profit window before patents expire.

BIOVIA QUMAS combines in one integrated solution:

  • Template-based content authoring and management
  • Real-time collaboration and submission management for Regulatory Affairs, Clinical, Nonclinical and Quality
  • Automated electronic submissions (including CTD, eCTD, NeeS, IMPD, CTA, eNTA and VNeeS formats) to regulatory agencies like the FDA, EMA or PMDA in a compliant manner

Learning Management

Employees can complete training on relevant SOPs and acknowledge their comprehension and understanding.

Each employee has a record of training tasks they have been assigned, any that are outstanding, and a complete history of which training tasks that have been completed.

Management reporting and dashboards provide you with a clear view of the status of individual and departmental training and certification, evidence and records to prove this to regulatory authorities.
