HighPoint Solutions Launches New Quality And Compliance Practice

HighPoint Solutions LLC, a premier provider of business-driven IT solutions, recently unveiled its Quality & Compliance Practice to address the increasing regulatory requirements placed on life science companies. Robert Lorence has been appointed to vice president for this practice and will lead the group in providing quality and compliance services to life sciences companies implementing computer systems in a heavily regulated environment.

The information technology systems for life sciences companies house massive amounts of drug information and there is no room for error or failure. With increasing regulatory requirements and drug safety under significant scrutiny, HighPoint Solutions' Quality & Compliance Practice will help its clients fix critical operational failures, minimize compliance risks and maintain a state of control across all operational areas within their enterprise.

"We have completed many compliance-related projects for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies over the past several years," said John Seitz, CEO at HighPoint. "Now, with a dedicated practice, we are able to offer a broader range of quality and compliance services and leverage best practices from one project to the next. Our team has a strong knowledge base in FDA regulatory expectations, six sigma strategies and technology and Robert is an excellent person to lead this group of individuals."

"HighPoint Solutions has traditionally been focused on the commercial side of the life sciences industry, and with this new practice we are able to also utilize our expertise to help research & development, clinical and manufacturing organizations," said Lorence. "We are now able to provide more holistic services to our clients, which include seven of the top 10 life sciences companies, as well as, open up new doors with other leading companies."

Key areas that HighPoint Solutions' Quality & Compliance Practice address include: Computer System Validation; Compliance Consulting and Guidance; Risk Assessments and Auditing; Project Planning, Project Management and Business Analysis Services; Quality Management System Expertise; SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) Development; and Training.
