Successfully Validating ERP Systems

Business & Decision's consultants contribute to many journals and magazines and have published a number of industry books.

Published by the Parenteral Drug Association in 2006, Successfully Validating ERP Systems (and other large, configurable applications) is considered to be the definitive source of practical guidance when applying risk-based principles to the validation of large, complex applications such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other large configurable applications (Clinical, LIMS, MES, CRM etc).

Successfully Validating ERP Systems Book Cover

Explaining the underlying rationale for many common regulatory expectations Successfully Validating ERP Systems introduced many good practices since embodied in version 5 of the GAMP Guide. The 270 page book provides practical guidance on why many large projects fail to cost effectively validate their applications and why it is often so difficult to maintain the validated state.

Written in 19 chapters, the book takes a journey through the system life cycle and is an invaluable aid to anyone planning on implementing or involved in supporting a large configurable application.
