Tampa, FL – January 6, 2006 – Pilgrim Software, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management Solutions, announces Vital Images, Inc. has purchased its Validation Packs for SmartAudit, SmartCAPA, SmartDoc and SmartTrain modules.

Pilgrim’s off-the-shelf Validation Packs provide Vital Images with a means to streamline the validation process which is required by the FDA to ensure the solution’s functions are in compliance with regulations. The comprehensive Validation Packs allow Vital Images to only spend time executing scripts rather than developing then executing. This expedites the validation process significantly and reduces cost dramatically by requiring less manual labor.

"We developed our Validation Packs, through partnerships and feedback from our innovative life science customers, to provide comprehensive validation scripts to meet US and international industry and regulatory requirements including the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11," states Prashanth Rajendran, Pilgrim Software’s Chief Operating Officer. "Vital Images selected our SmartAudit, SmartCAPA, SmartDoc and SmartTrain modules because they are complete and fully integrated. Our validation packs not only include scripts to test each module but also include integration scripts which test the interaction between applications."
