Automated processes and successful validation

In the course of the project, the potential of the public cloud became more apparent. However, as a pharmaceutical company, Vayamed GmbH, a subsidiary of the Sanity Group, is subject to strict regulations and is obliged to validate internal processes and computerized systems. Were there concerns about a validated online implementation of the SaaS Business Central solution? Certainly, some questions and tasks had to be clarified—together with the YAVEON validation team. However, the advantages of a SaaS solution won the Sanity Group team over, and so the decision was quickly made to go all out with the public cloud.

Requirement: Update management

In order to validate in the public cloud, certain conditions must be observed. YAVEON offers validation templates that fully prepare the validation process, and enables the implementation of comprehensive update management. Why? The explanation is simple. Microsoft solutions such as Business Central Online are kept up-to-date with major updates twice a year, and minor updates monthly.  When introducing validated software, the company must ensure that the process is structured and documented. An ERP update is similar to an update on a cellphone. In general, the update goes smoothly, and the functions of an app are retained after the update has been completed. However, instead of simply assuming this will happen, validated solutions are subject to documentation and verification requirements. To ensure this, all product-related changes are thoroughly tested during YAVEON product development. Update lists, which can be used to identify the functions affected, enable the customer to assess the impact of an update on their system and take appropriate action before it is carried out.
