MasterControl

At Ross Enterprise, we're committed to offering our clients the best products and services to meet their unique business needs. To this end, Ross Enterprise enjoys a strategic partnership with MasterControl, an industry leader providing quality management software solutions to life sciences companies to help ensure compliance with FDA regulations such as 21 CFR Parts 11, 210-211, 820, 606; ISO standards such as ISO 9000, ISO 13485, and ISO 14000; and Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements.

Ross Enterprise and MasterControl have formed a strategic partnership to allow the integration of complementary products into a unique breed of software solution for companies in FDA and other regulated environments. Under the partnership, Ross Enterprise offers the MasterControl quality management suite as part of its Ross Enterprise enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, which enables process manufacturers worldwide to more effectively manage manufacturing operations.

"Ross provides a robust, cost-effective infrastructure, while MasterControl adds the GxP-based control needed by regulated organizations. Together we will offer a one-stop enterprise solution to these companies," said Jim Murrin, "MasterControl's senior vice president of sales and business development."

Ross Enterprise provides cGxP compliant transaction processing and workflow systems for materials management, manufacturing, financials, and the extended life sciences supply chain. Its systems are used to streamline the transition from clinical trials to commercial manufacturing, and facilitate effective management of in-house and outsourced manufacturing.

"We reviewed the leading quality and document management systems in the market and found that MasterControl was implemented at an overwhelming number of our customer sites due to their feature-rich, comprehensive suite of quality applications, and their state-of-the-art technology, which aligned directly with our own. We felt that this synergy provided significant opportunities for our customers to streamline operations and improve their quality processes," said Michael Webster, Ross Enterprise director, life sciences.

The MasterControl integrated quality management suite is a configurable and easy-to-use software solution that helps companies attain "continuous compliance" with FDA regulations, ISO standards, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other regulatory requirements. MasterControl automates and effectively manages document and change control, training, audits, corrective/preventive action (CAPA), customer complaints, nonconformance disposition, and other quality processes. For FDA-regulated companies, MasterControl offers a "continuous validation" approach designed to cut the time and cost involved in validating a system, reduce risks of project implementation, and make it easier to validate software upgrades. Its innovative validation products and services include MasterControl Transfer OQ and MasterControl Automated OQ.
