Sandy Alexander Expands Web-Based Management Solutions from Pilgrim Software
Tampa, FL – November 16, 2006 – Pilgrim Software, a world-leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) software solutions, today announced that Sandy Alexander, a full-service graphic communications company serving Fortune 500 companies, has expanded its automated documentation and training management capabilities with the upgrade to Pilgrim’s web-based SmartDoc and SmartTrain solutions. Sandy Alexander is also enhancing its audit and CAPA processes through implementation of two additional modules from Pilgrim’s fully-integrated SmartSolve® suite.
A Pilgrim customer since 1997, Sandy Alexander had successfully managed its documentation and training and certification tracking for nearly nine years with Pilgrim’s Q&MIS products, Document Control and Training System. The company has upgraded to the web-based SmartSolve products to more easily integrate into their current overall globally expanding operating environment. A fully web-based solution with zero client-side code makes SmartSolve easier for the company’s IT group to support as deployment is rapid and total cost of ownership is lower.
With four SmartSolve modules, Sandy Alexander’s quality processes will be enhanced, supporting the company as it expands its services to meet the needs of its growing customer base. SmartAudit enhances Sandy Alexander’s audit process by producing accurate audit records more rapidly. SmartCAPA enables it to better manage its CAPA containment and investigations, and identify root causes of nonconformances and deviations, thereby expediting resolutions. SmartDoc allows the company to better manage internal approvals, its library of SOPs and other documents through more rapid and accurate traceability. With SmartTrain, Sandy Alexander will more readily manage its employee training scheduling and qualification and certification tracking as needed.
“Our clients expect us to perform to world-class standards of quality and environmental stewardship: that requires a robust and responsive management system,” said Howie Swerdloff, Vice President of Quality for Sandy Alexander. “I don’t know how we would have managed without Pilgrim’s software. I fully expect that upgrading to the SmartSolve solution will further enhance our ability to effectively train our staff, control our processes, correct and prevent defects, and thus continue in exceeding our customers’ expectations.”
“Pilgrim’s solutions are flexible and scalable to meet the needs of our customers’ extended enterprise,” said Nikki Willett, Vice President of Marketing for Pilgrim Software. “As Sandy Alexander integrates our web-based SmartSolve solutions into its existing automated processes, the company will see immediate benefit from the closed-loop functionality and industry-leading reporting capabilities the solutions provide. We believe that Sandy Alexander now has not only a robust system to manage its key internal processes, but also has an advantage over competition because conducting those processes will be rapid, cost-effective and result in a sustained product reliability and consumer trust.”
