LGC, international science-based company and market leader in laboratory services, has upgraded its electronic document management system (eDMS) by installing X-docs™ and X-forms™ software from compliance experts GXPi. The two new integrated systems will ensure that all documentation pertaining to LGC’s Health Sciences division’s standard operating procedures, policies guides and audit management will be easier to create, maintain and retrieve.

With LGC Health Sciences providing flexible and comprehensive analytical solutions to meet challenges in R&D, quality assurance, regulatory and investigative activities it must ensure it utilizes the best technology available to it. As well as the functionality and ease-of-use of its systems, GXPi was chosen due to the configurability of the Standard Validated Platform and its project delivery methodology, which allows a fast implementation time from requirements capture, and leverage of GXPi’s extensive validation testing of the core product, as Dr Frances Crummay, Business Systems Director, LGC explains:

“The global nature of our work often means working under very tight time pressures and fixed deadlines to get new systems in, tested, validated and our existing documents migrated across. We needed a supplier that not only understood the IT issues, but could also deliver quickly a compliant solution and understand the regulatory requirements of computerized systems’ use in the Health Sciences. We chose GXPi and X-docs and have been repaid with a highly effective eDMS and Audit Management Solution, that makes our lives easier and is available on a single platform. We are keen to roll out X-docs™ to other parts of the group over time.”

The need for a configurable system, tailored to their nomenclature and business processes was delivered within the six-week deadline set by LGC, with GXPi having to make the most of its pre-validated documentation and sophisticated automated installation and build tools to meet these stringent criteria.
