Tampa, FL, April 30, 2009 -- Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) software solutions, today announced that Vitalograph, a global manufacturer of respiratory diagnostic and therapeutic products, has gone live with Pilgrim’s SmartDoc™ and SmartTrain™ solutions at its Ennis, Ireland manufacturing facility.  The two integrated products provide a fully compliant, centralized electronic document/training management solution to support the site’s continuous quality operations.

With SmartDoc live, Vitalograph gains an enterprise-wide document management application which facilitates regulatory compliance while improving the accessibility and quality of critical documents.  SmartTrain automates its employee training records and certifications, and helps ensure Vitalograph upholds industry compliance standards for electronic records management.

“Effective management of any documentation is a critical regulatory issue within our industry, and we’re also required to ensure the effectiveness of the way we manage employee training, training records and certifications,” said Tom J. Healy, Vitalograph’s director of Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs.  “With Pilgrim’s centralized solutions, we have an effective closed-loop process in place that greatly improves visibility of our training programs and the efficiencies of our operations.”

Vitalograph was seeking an automated solution that would enable its primary manufacturing facility to improve cycle times for document review and approval, which in turn, automatically puts those documents into the hands of employees for more rapid training and certification.

“With the solutions live, Vitalograph will quickly realize the benefits of SmartTrain and SmartDoc," said Prashanth Rajendran, Pilgrim’s Chief Operating Officer. "These solutions support the medical device industry’s strict regulations by offering broad visibility of SOPs, and ensuring employees are updated on the latest SOPs, increasing worker effectiveness and overall operational efficiencies."
