Quebec LNG Virtual Event: XaaS & AI in Life Sciences - Risks, Realities, and Best Practices

Cloud adoption is accelerating across regulated industries—but validation and compliance expectations haven’t gotten any simpler. Whether you’re moving infrastructure to the cloud, deploying ready-made SaaS platforms, building applications on PaaS, or integrating AI-driven capabilities, you’re operating in a shared-responsibility world that fundamentally affects how compliance must be approached.

This highly practical webinar demystifies XaaS (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) for regulated environments. We’ll unpack how each service model works, how responsibilities shift compared with classical on-premises software, and what that means for validation strategy, documentation, risk management, vendor oversight, and ongoing compliance.

Together, we’ll explore how to manage evolving models without trying to force AI into outdated validation molds, and participants will leave with a clear framework to make smart cloud and AI decisions confidently.
