Typical Document Management Strategies Many of our customers have existing document management systems in place that t they want TrackWise to link to: Other companies that don t already have EDMS may want to leverage their EQMS investment to support both. This presentation will focus primarily on helping these companies understand how TrackWise can support documentmanagementneeds management needs
Introto to DocumentManagement What is it: fundamentally, the ability to control documentation and distribute to appropriate employees Key features?: revision control and check in/check out functionality Some companies distinguish between types of documents Controlled SOPs, Policies, Forms, Work Instructions things that t require change control approval to be released Standard or Project documents meeting minutes, validation reports, testing summaries, project plans Donot require change control approval to bereleased, even thoughsome may support change control (e.g., a validation plan may be electronically approved for CAPA or Change Control but doesn t require the same approval steps as an SOP update) For the purposes of this presentation we will focus on Controlled documents, or those that require Change Control approval to be released
DocumentManagement vs. EQMS Document Management EQMS Key feature Revision control Workflow management Key searching capability Key value proposition Historical tools before electronic systems Key risks to process Display all SOPs needed to perform job Ensure products are made per specification and company operates under control Shared network drive, paper printouts 1. Using outdated procedures 2. Not knowing procedure exists 3. Not following procedure Ability to identify trends in database Enables closed loop processes Paper with excel tracking 1. Not completing things in a timely manner 2. Incomplete documentation 3. Bypassing process/ late documentation

Enterprise Change Control: Desired State Hierarchical relationship of one change request and its associated activities iii Electronic attachment and organization of supporting documentation Logical association of supporting information directly to change request Automated, consistent, and efficient change control process Clear visibility to all levels of the organization through centralization of information and dashboards Accommodation of both proactive and reactive change activity Clear Linkage Change Request Impact Assessment Regulatory Assessment Implementation Activities Electronic attachment

Benefits of Integrated TrackWise EQMS & EDMS Ensure compliance through document control Seamless integration Reduced training cost Improved system performance Reduction of time to transfer documents
Case Study: NVI (Netherlands Vaccines Institute) Business Challenge Its previous system for managing records a combination of Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access and old fashioned, paper based methods had become insufficient for managing documentation and readying reports for submission to the EU. NVI decided to seek out a centralized electronic system for document management that would not only ensure efficient and effective compliance with reporting standards, but also seamlessly integrate with its current systems Why TrackWise Compliant with European Standards, easy to generate submission reports Easy integration ti with other systems, minimal i configuration Ease of use, intuitive GUI
Results NVI Implementation Results: NVI was able to create a centralized repository for all its critical documents, immediately migrating more than 20,000 documents into its new system, and eventually doubling that number to 40,000 over the next two years. Leveraging and Expanding TrackWise Investment beyond Document Management: Addition of 13 workflows within it its quality assurance department, including: Deviations Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) Change Control Internal and External Audits
