3i Infotech And Caliber Combine Pharmaceutical Industry Software Expertise

3i Infotech, a global provider of IT solutions and services, recently announced a partnership with Caliber Technologies Pvt. Ltd to integrate Caliber's Laboratory Information Management System with 3i Infotech's ORION Enterprise Resource Planning Suite. The two products working together will deliver strict regulatory compliance (Good Manufacturing Practice) and improved enterprise-wide visibility of vital data relating to quality control and manufacturing for companies within the pharmaceutical industry.

Caliber's LIMS offers features that pharmaceutical companies need for areas such as Sample Management, Stability, Instruments and Chemicals management. The software delivers the process controls and auditing capabilities to comply with government regulatory requirements. Caliber's LIMS is validated for government standards from the Food Drug Administration (FDA) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP).

"The LIMS enables quality control and clinical laboratories to support manufacturing in a stringently regulated setting," said Sekhar Surabhi, CEO of Caliber. "Caliber serves R&D teams in the development of new drugs, automating the process while providing complete traceability to help ensure products are manufactured to specification. Combining our solution with 3i Infotech's ORION allows us to improve information sharing across these businesses as a whole."

ORIONis an essential ERP solution for pharmaceutical companies, which today face integration challenges through continuing mergers and acquisition, as well as more rigorous government regulations and a deeper public scrutiny of drug manufacturing quality. A software system that provides a complete view of operations and addresses these pain points is vital to stay competitive.

"3i Infotech built ORION, with specific industries in mind, to serve exact domain needs," said Sharad Vajpayee, president at 3i Infotech Enterprise Solutions. "ORION is very competent for pharmaceutical, and we're always identifying partnerships, like the decision to work with Caliber, to extend its functionality. We're pleased to offer the pharmaceutical industry an even richer software solution to meet the exact requirements at every stage of manufacturing."

The partnership will enable 3i Infotech to offer its solution throughout North America, starting immediately.
