This Computer System Validation Training course will explore proven techniques for reducing costs associated with implementing, using, and maintaining computer systems in regulated environments. Today, the FDA performs both GxP and Part 11 inspections, the Europeans have released an updated Annex 11 regulation that expands Part 11 requirements and companies must update their systems and processes to maintain compliance.

Many companies outsource IT resources and are involved in Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud computing. These vendors are not regulated, and therefore, regulated companies must ensure compliance for both infrastructure qualification and computer system validation to avoid FDA form 483s and Warning Letters.

This Computer System Validation Training course is intended for these regulated companies, software vendors, and SaaS/cloud providers. The seminar instructor will:

  • Address the latest computer system industry standards for data security,data transfer, audit trails, electronic records and signatures, software validation, and computer system validation.
  • Help participants understand the specific requirements associated with local and SaaS/cloud hosting solutions.
  • Illustrate the importance of validating the quality process and every computerized system used in laboratory, clinical, and manufacturing settings.
  • Demonstrate how to decrease software implementation times and lower costs using a 10-step risk-based approach to computer system validation.
  • Review recent FDA inspection trends and discuss how to streamline document authoring, revision, review, and approval.
Seminar Fee Includes:
Lunch
AM-PM Tea/Coffee
Seminar Material
Attendance Certificate
$100 Gift Cert for next seminar

Learning Objective:

  • Understand what is expected in Part 11 and Annex 11 inspections
  • Avoid 483s and Warning Letters
  • Learn how to buy COTS software and qualify vendors
  • Implement a computer system using risk-based validation to gain maximum productivity and reduce cost by as much as two thirds
  • Requirements for local, SaaS, and cloud hosting
  • How to select resources and manage validation projects
  • "Right size" change control methods that allows quick and safe system evolution
  • Minimize the validation documentation to reduce costs without increasing regulatory or business risk

This is my first experience with ComplianceOnline and I would definitely attend other seminars.

Business System Analyst

It was a knowledgeable seminar. Thanks for inviting me. I will attend upcoming seminars on ISO 13485 and Sterilization validation.

Director of Quality

I love to receive your email alerts. It keeps me updated with all valuable trainings. You have variety of offerings.

Test Engineer

All topics were informative and interesting. Database validation was the most valuable topic for me as I was hired for this job function.

Excellent choice of venue, materials and food was arranged by ComplianceOnline!!!

Software and Training Support Specialist

Thanks ComplianceOnline. Your website is very accessible and communicates well. It covers many compliance topics. For this seminar venue was convenient for west cost. Sometimes I cannot travel so attend those trainings online.

Director, Validation

David is an excellent instructor, very animated and has a great energy level. He was able to really engage with the attendees.

Business System Analyst

David is one of the best presenters I have seen. This subject was well presented by him.

Manager, IT

A former attendee of this seminar referred me. David was great with shuns while keeping everybody engaged.

VP Global CRM & Business Solutions

It was a great seminar. I like the topic Hazard/Risk Assessment. I do all other validation activities as David presented but didn't evaluate my specs for Risk but I can really see how this will benefit the whole validation process and am definitely adding it.

Business System Analyst, Documentation

I literally don't have any suggestions to improve your future seminars. I just love it. The presenter was very entertaining and informative.

Test Engineer

Thanks for coordinating this seminar. Customer service was very good, event was well arranged and good meal was a plus.

I am more confident about ability to carry out Computer System Validation. David provides Comprehensive information in a way that makes sense. He's patient, passionate about what he does, and provides great examples! Thank You, David!

Director Technical Services

Thank you ComplianceOnline. Staff was very supportive, good choice of topic and content. Everything was valuable there. Thanks again!

Director, Agile Systems and Processes

You made the Complex Simple!!!

Business Systems Manager

It’s Great!!! The low and courts approach really put a new perspective on validation. The FDA isn't who you should be worried about.

Project Engineer

Lots of information provided during the seminar. Not presented in 'Traditional' Validation training. Not Cook Book.

Software Quality Assurance

Loved David's opinions - Made it a rich event. My suggestion to improve future events "please don't change a thing". Very best wishes!!!

Global Quality Operations Analyst

David helped us make our software development process efficient and helped us to understand how the regulations affect our customers.

Software Vendor, Vancouver, BC

Thanks for finding me and giving me the opportunity to take this session. I like all the topics, especially 21 CFR Part II Compliance. David Nettleton is a phenomenal instructor. The amount of interaction between the participants and presenters is ideal which help us to explore more. I would strongly recommend this seminar.

Technical Writer

I can tell David has a lot of experience with computer system validation because David bridged the gap between IT, QA, and Clinical.

Contract Research Organization, Los Angeles, CA

After we attended David's training, we implemented the procedures he recommended, and we just had our first FDA inspection with no 483s.

Pharmaceutical company, San Francisco, CA

I really enjoyed the class. I thought the information that David Nettleton gave us was real world examples of the way Computer System Validation should be done. I have suggested to a few of my colleagues to review the information that we were given at the Computer System Validation Reduce Costs and Avoid 483.

Lisa Wyeth

This was one of, if not the best, most informative, enjoyable trainings I've attended in my 11 year GMP career and I have been to many. David was simply an outstanding presenter. In this class, there was much participation and people learn from other's questions. Overall I had a very positive experience and brought back value to my company.

Lead Auditor

I enjoyed the seminar very much. I am hoping to be able to implement some of the things I learned in my own work efforts. I thought David was an excellent facilitator and he kept the pace moving along properly to cover all of the material in time.

Sr. Validation Engineer

I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar! The content of the seminar was excellent.

Associate Director

Seminar was very interactive and applied real time instances. 10 step process and Hazard Analysis were the most valuable topics for me. The support materials are very useful.

QA/RA Manager

I enjoyed the seminar very much. I am hoping to be able to implement some of the things I learned in my own work efforts. I thought David was an excellent facilitator and he kept the pace moving along properly to cover all of the material in time. If I had one criticism, it would be not understanding how I am going to change the culture of mine and other companies that spend so many dollars on validation projects that drag on and on. In David’s world, he can complete a project in a week of planning and implementation; in my world, people spend the first week just letting the concept of a project sink in, and then maybe get started within a month or so. I’d like to be able to expedite projects in the way he has laid out; we’ll see how it goes.

Sr. Validation Engineer

Electronic Signature topic was very valuable for me because we are implementing a document management system. The presenter is very knowledgeable; the amount of interaction between the participants and presenters was good.

Information Technology Specialist

The course was well prepared. I like the "10 steps of validation" topic, I will apply this to all of my programs. It was great to make new connections, informal conversations with other participants during the networking hours was very beneficial. Speaker was very interactive. I will recommend this course and ComplianceOnline.com to others.

IT Director

David was a dynamic presenter; I like his answers and interaction immensely. I really liked the session on "Reduction of Cost" and support materials.

Project Manager

I really enjoyed the class. I thought the information that David Nettleton gave us was real world examples of the way Computer System Validation should be done. I have suggested to a few of my colleagues to review the information that we were given at the Computer System Validation Reduce Costs and Avoid 483.
The registration was an easy process. I forwarded the information to our Human Resources and they were able to handle it from the beginning.

GCP Manager

I really appreciate the presentation given on topic "The 10 step approach". Overall program was well organized and coordinated. Experience with speaker was good, it was an engaging presentation. Informal conversation with other participant was beneficial.

Assistant Manager of Technical Development

This was a very well seminar. The location, the food, the training material were all very much appreciated. David was a very charismatic, knows his stuff and presents the info in a way that making it entertaining.

Software Quality Manager

Great dynamics between instructor and participants. The program was well organized and coordinated. Large amount of data was delivered in short time period.

Engineering Electrical Controls Manager

Seminar was very good, informative and a lovely speaker making a tedious topic interesting. Overall the subjects are well chosen and the program was well organized and coordinated.

Director - Global IT Governance

The training was excellent and I encountered no difficulties either with the registration process or during the event. This was one of the better trainings that I have attended over the years.

Sr. QA Engineer

I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar! The content of the seminar was excellent and I would recommend it to others.

Associate Director, Quality Operations

This was one of, if not the best, most informative, enjoyable trainings I've attended in my 11 year GMP career and I have been to many. David was simply an outstanding presenter. I think the thing that sets him apart from others, in addition to his obvious expertise and knowledge in computer validation, is that he is what today I feel is rare: a good teacher. David as a teacher is very engaging. The normal nervousness of attendees has little chance of survival in David's class. He breaks through the ice, gets people comfortable and maintains a high level of professionalism. This creates an open atmosphere where people are free to think and ask questions. I generally am not afraid to ask questions and many times I feel alone in that. But in this class, there was much participation and people learn from other's questions. I attribute this to David's personality and approach to getting attendees involved. In terms of improvements, the only thing I would change would be to have the lunch in a room where people could network (i.e. round tables) vs. coming back into the training room where you sat next to one person. The venue itself was great and the food was fantastic. The Ritz Carlton is a great location. Their service was also excellent. Overall I had a very positive experience and brought back value to my company. I just wish I had more of a chance to network with the other attendees, although I did connect with a few.

Lead Auditor/Sr. Laboratory Compliance Specialist

It was a very good experience, the presenter had very good knowledge on the topic but I would added more time to perform a “mini validation” using his templates so that more questions will come that will allow us to learn more.
He explained very well the concepts and gave good examples however is when we do things by our selves that we better understand and make the concepts "ours" The place and lightening was fine, there was no noise interrupting.

Software Validation Engineer

I was very confident in David Nettleton's knowledge on the subject matter.

Research & Development Associate

I had registered for a seminar but unfortunately I was not able to attend. The company was very understanding and extremely helpful. I plan on attending a future event soon.

Local Attractions of Stockholm, Sweden

Gamla Stan

Gamla Stan

Gamla stan (The Old Town) until 1980 officially Staden mellan broarna (The Town between the Bridges), is the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. Gamla stan consists primarily of the island Stadsholmen. Officially, Gamla stan includes the surrounding islets Riddarholmen, Helgeandsholmen, and Strömsborg. The town dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and archaic architecture. North German architecture has had a strong influence in the Old Town's construction. As well as being home to the Stockholm Cathedral, the Nobel Museum, and the Riddarholm church, Gamla stan also boasts Kungliga slottet, Sweden's baroque Royal Palace, built in the 18th century after the previous palace Tre Kronor burned down. The restaurant Den gyldene freden is located on Österlånggatan. It has been in business since 1722 and according to the Guinness Book of Records is the oldest existing restaurant with an unaltered interior.

Vasa Museum

Vasa Museum

The Vasa Museum is a maritime museum in Stockholm. Located on the island of Djurgården, the museum displays the only almost fully intact 17th century ship that has ever been salvaged, the 64-gun warship Vasa that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628. The Vasa Museum opened in 1990 and, according to the official web site, is the most visited museum in Scandinavia. Together with other museums such as Stockholm Maritime Museum, the museum belongs to the Swedish National Maritime Museums (SNMM). The main hall contains the ship itself and various exhibits related to the archaeological findings of the ships and early 17th century Sweden. The museum also features four other museum ships moored in the harbour outside: the ice breaker Sankt Erik (launched 1915), the lightvessel Finngrundet (1903), the torpedo boat Spica (1966) and the rescue boat Bernhard Ingelsson (1944).

Skansen

Skansen

Skansen (the Sconce) is the first open-air museum and zoo in Sweden and is located on the island Djurgarden in Stockholm. It was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius (1833–1901) to show the way of life in the different parts of Sweden before the industrial era. Skansen attracts more than 1.3 million visitors each year. The many exhibits over the 75 acre site include a full replica of an average 19th-century town, in which craftsmen in traditional dress such as tanners, shoemakers, silversmiths, bakers and glass-blowers demonstrate their skills in period surroundings. There is even a small patch growing tobacco used for the making of cigarettes. There is also an open-air zoo containing a wide range of Scandinavian animals including the bison, brown bear, moose, grey seal, lynx, otter, red fox, reindeer, wolf, and wolverine (as well as some non-Scandinavian animals because of their popularity). There are also farmsteads where rare breeds of farm animals can be seen.

Drottningholm Palace

Drottningholm Palace

The Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the Swedish royal family, located in Drottningholm. Built on the island Lovön, it is one of Sweden's Royal Palaces. It was originally built in the late 16th century. It served as a regular summer residence of the Swedish royal court for most of the 18th century. Apart from being the private residence of the Swedish royal family, the palace is a popular tourist attraction. The palace and its grounds have seen many renovations, changes and additions over the past 400 years. The largest renovation, in which electricity, heating, sewage, water lines were either installed or updated and the castle roof replaced, took place between 1907 and 1913. The gardens and park areas surrounding the castle and its buildings are one of the main attractions for the tourists that visit the palace each year. The gardens have been established in stages since the castle was built, resulting in different styles of parks and gardens.

Junibacken

Junibacken

Junibacken is a children’s museum, situated on the island of Djurgården in the centre of Stockholm. The museum is Stockholm’s 5th most-visited tourist attraction. The museum is devoted to Swedish children’s literature, but especially Astrid Lindgren. Outside the building is a bronze statue of Lindgren. The art direction and images for the interior design were made by Swedish artist Marit Törnqvist, who had previously made illustrations for more recent versions of Lindgren's books. The museum contains the largest children’s bookstore in Sweden. The lockers in the entrance hall are unusual in that each is in the form of a giant book-spine, featuring world classics such as Treasure Island and The Jungle Book. Other main attractions include a Storybook Square, a mock public square where each house is devoted to a separate Swedish children’s author, from the earliest writers such as Elsa Beskow to recent writers such as Sven Nordqvist.
