  5. 4th Global QA Conference & 30th SQA Annual Meeting

    Tags: | |

    Tyson Mew, president of Ofni Systems, will be at the 4th Global QA Conference & 30th SQA Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, NV, from April 6–11, 2014. Ty will be demonstrating how ExcelSafe gives your analytical spreadsheets the controls and security features needed for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

    Learn how to Create and Validate Spreadsheets in FDA-Regulated Environments

    Easy-to-create and surprisingly powerful and flexible tools for data storage and processing, spreadsheets are so common that they can almost seem invisible. However, GxP data stored or processed with spreadsheets must be maintained in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements, especially 21 CFR 11, Electronic Records Electronic Signatures. The FDA is aware of the usefulness of spreadsheets but expects controls to be in place that ensure spreadsheets used in GxP processes are compliant with 21 CFR 11 and are validated. As FDA enforcement of 21 CFR 11 increases, uncontrolled spreadsheets represent an area of increased QA concern.

    Society of Quality Assurance

    SQA’s 4th Global QA Conference & 30th Annual Meeting is a six-day conference for discussion of emerging trends and issues affecting Quality Assurance practices in regulated industry. Hot topics include Computer Validation, Scientific Archiving, Industry Best-Practices, and Compliance.

ExcelSafe allows these companies to use the flexibility and economy of spreadsheets to perform FDA regulated activities. ExcelSafe provides users of Microsoft Excel with:

    • User Security – Entry into spreadsheets requires a user name and password. ExcelSafe has configurable user-level security which can restrict which users can open or spreadsheets and apply or remove electronic signatures.
    • Data Security – All changes to Excel are automatically recorded. The audit trail records the previous and new value of a cell, the date/time of a change, the user making the change and the reason data was changed. The audit trail also records other spreadsheet events, including addition or deletion of a worksheet. Electronic signatures prevent changes within a worksheet. Even deleted records are preserved on an unalterable audit trail.
    • Traceability – ExcelSafe comes with tools to track all changes to spreadsheets. Users can query results from any spreadsheet.
    • Simplicity – ExcelSafe works automatically with existing spreadsheets and templates. Once a spreadsheet is opened in ExcelSafe, all compliance tools work automatically. Users operate Excel normally; there is no complicated interface to learn. ExcelSafe supports any number of users and any number of spreadsheets.

    More information about ExcelSafe is available at www.OfniSystems.com/ExcelSafe.
