Hosting in a Qualified Environment

Regulatory significant systems and applications must be maintained in a validated state but in many cases there is a desire to outsource the hosting of such systems or applications.

Business & Decision's data centers are capable of hosting regulated applications in a controlled and qualified environment. Managed in accordance with IT industry standards, Business & Decision has also qualified their IT Infrastructure and trained their data center staff to meet international regulatory expectations in the Life Sciences industry.

Many large commercial hosting organisations do not meet such expectations or find it difficult to demonstrate compliance. In such cases, Life Sciences organizations incur additional costs because of the need to put additional controls in place or conduct frequent surveillance audits - a situation avoided when hosting with Business & Decision.

Based upon principles outlined in version 5 of the GAMP® Guide and the GAMP® IT Infrastructure Control and Compliance Good Practice Guide, Business & Decision has formally qualified its data center and structured its IT Quality Management System to clearly demonstrate their ability to host regulatory significant applications and provide Life Sciences clients with a cost effective and compliant hosting capability.

Business & Decision are also able to provide compliant managed services for systems and applications hosted within our own data center or on client or third party sites.
