A leading global healthcare company specializing in regulated medicinal products relies on a centralized validation team at its headquarters in Southern Europe. This team supports over 60 affiliates worldwide, each operating with at least one GxP-regulated IT application or managing GxP-related data. Centralizing these validation activities allows for greater consistency, traceability, and compliance across the group.

Challenge

Scalable support without fixed teams

The client needed a flexible and scalable approach to manage ongoing IT validation tasks. Rather than using traditional project teams or fixed staffing models, they required an on-demand solution to handle routine and ad hoc activities. These included core Computerized System Validation (CSV) tasks such as Installation Qualification, project closure, roll-out support, and the delivery of Periodic Reviews based on criticality and internal planning cycles. A structured yet adaptable model was essential to maintain compliance without adding unnecessary overhead.

A task-based validation helpdesk

In October 2022, QbD Group introduced a remote CSV execution service through an outsourcing model designed as a validation “helpdesk.” Instead of project-based workstreams, this model operates via a ticketing system, enabling agile support for individual validation tasks.

To maintain compliance and efficiency, QbD teams use several digital tools, including:

  • HP ALM for protocol and test case management
  • A Document Control Management (DCM) system for validation document workflows
  • Jira and other trackers to assign and monitor tasks
  • Systems like SAP to capture evidence during testing

This setup ensures continuous support, full traceability, and alignment with regulated environments.

  • Quick turnaround times
  • Cost savings on hiring, onboarding, and benefits
  • Access to specialized validation talent
  • A streamlined and compliant validation process

This partnership enables the client to stay focused on their core business, while QbD ensures operational agility and quality in their IT validation processes.
