FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

Electronic records and signatures – Trustworthy, reliable
and equivalent to paper records

Challenges
  • Need to meet FDA´s regulations for electronic records and electronic signatures
  • Must achieve FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance quicker
  • Workflow is not standardized, difficult to configure and doesn´t provide
    the security level needed
  • Cycle time of tasks and artifacts in the workflow is too long
  • No complete management oversight as reports take too long
    and take too many resources
