Web Seminar: Validation and Use of Cloud Computing in FDA Regulated Environments

Sept. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Why to attend:
   
Cloud computing can significantly reduce investment and operating costs for IT operations. However when used in FDA and other regulated environments they need to be validated to ensure consistent on-going performance and security and integrity of stored and managed data. While there are guidelines available on how to deal with standard networks this is not the case for virtual  networks and cloud computing. This seminar will have the answers. During the seminar, the speaker will present validation and compliance strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, templates and examples will help trouble-free implementation.
