Tampa, FL - February 14, 2005 - Gilead Sciences has added SmartTrain to its existing SmartSolve suite. Gilead also purchased the Validation Pack to expedite the computer system validation and additional users to expand system use. Pilgrim Software, Inc. is the leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management solutions. 

As a leading bio-pharmaceutical, FDA-regulated company, Gilead's employees are required to be current on processes and SOPs. Management also needs access and visibility to training and certification records so that only qualified employees are assigned to appropriate jobs. Gilead can track training costs and be pro-active with additional training using SmartTrain.

SmartTrain ensures employee job quality and compliance by managing personnel skill sets/certifications and course activities. The out-of-the-box, tightly-integrated module is 100% web-based with built-in configurable templates and workflows. It is also built for scalability, performance and easy integration to Gilead's other SmartSolve modules (SmartAudit, SmartDoc, and SmartCAPA) and to external systems.

"FDA-regulated companies are so cognizant of the need for up-to-date SOP training. Gilead's additional purchase of SmartTrain and its Validation Pack indicates the trust and confidence that Gilead has in our SmartSolve products," stated Prashanth Rajendran, Chief Operating Officer at Pilgrim. "SmartTrain will make recording and tracking of employee training and certifications a simple task. The associated Validation Pack will definitely lower the cost and speed up the process of validation. When any customer buys additional users, it indicates they are pleased with our system and are ready to expand the use of it within their organization."
