Imperative Care's Transition to a Cloud-Native PLM and QMS Platform

As a medical device manufacturer, deploying a dedicated, scalable quality management system was essential to maintaining compliance across the product lifecycle as the company continued to scale both their workforce and product portfolio. Supporting a remote workforce made their paper-based change approval process all the more challenging. Paper-based quality management makes it challenging to integrate quality with the design and development phase. Without having clear insight into quality issues during the design phase, engineers risk the possibility of designing products with components that may have been associated with a quality incident or complaint. Imperative Care quickly discovered their previous method for tracking CAPAs and NCMRs was an inefficient way to get their products to market. The paper-based process also made it more challenging and time-consuming to collaborate across teams and projects. In order to increase efficiency, collaborate effectively, manage quality and get their products to market faster, Imperative Care needed a cloud-native solution that combined product lifecycle management and quality management in one platform that enabled their team remote access from anywhere in the world.
