Hi Uche,
The software will need to be validated for FDA purposes. We are currently validating an EPDM software that is similar to Intelex for one of our clients. You should keep in mind that you will also need to validate the server before the software is loaded onto it.
Once you have the software configured to your organizational structure, you will need to validate the system against the specifications provided. You will need to write test scripts and protocols and then execute them. Following testing you will need to create a validation report.
You will also need to have SOPs in place on how to use the software and a few other corresponding IT SOPs.
Depending on the availability of your IT personnel, this work can take about 4-6 weeks to complete.
If you like, RAA can provide an estimate for these services. Please email (
mtomasovich@regaffairs.net) and we can set a time to talk.

Hi Everyone,
I have a questionin regards to this.... this seems like a gray area of validation.
We currently use a couple of softwares and none are validated....
I am trying to see if anyone on the forum uses them and if you validated them and what company did that?
* SAP
*Intelex
I am a little curious to if the software developers validate their software them us as clients dont need to validate it also, but I am under the impression that Intelex isnt validated.
Please guys, throw some light on this, as much will be appreciated!!
