Commercial off-the-shelf configuration for pharmaceutical QA/QC

The core functionality of the SQL*LIMS Software combined with function-specific modules such as SQL*QA™ and SQL*Stability™ Software provides a complete, integrated solution for pharmaceutical customers. This reduces the need for customization during and after installation, and it streamlines the implementation and validation of the SQL*LIMS Software, which are important goals in controlling costs and improving pharmaceutical laboratory efficiency and productivity.

With this first true plug-and-play solution, our pharmaceutical customers can order a complete pre-configured, pre-qualified system for pharmaceutical QA/QC. This solution includes both the hardware and the Oracle database. The software is pre-configured for a typical lab with USP methodology for product content uniformity/dissolution testing and ICH standards for stability testing built in. The system also includes documented IQOQ (Installation and Operation Qualification) testing already completed on the box.

For many customers, the cost of customizing and validating a LIMS system to meet regulatory compliance exceeds the cost of the system itself. This is especially true for companies with a small (or non-existent) IT staff. With our pre-configured systems, much of this work is already completed before delivery, reducing the both the time and cost associated with implementation, customization, and validation.
