Change control plan

Mitigate the potential risks of your next software update

Streamlining your system's software upgrades while navigating regulatory demands, including data integrity, security and privacy, can be a daunting and costly task. The Change Control support plan helps customers who require revalidation of their software systems to mitigate risk for software and hardware system assessments.

Collaborate with SCIEX to integrate new software features seamlessly, bolster system security, enhance performance, and ensure compatibility. This cost-effective solution caters to your change control needs, providing you with a comprehensive and efficient approach.

The migration to a new software and sequential updates can sometimes have perceived risks that will impact the time and costs of your laboratory operations. However, the SCIEX Change Control plan will mitigate potential risks through comprehensive and thorough documented testing. 

Big benefits

The real benefit of the SCIEX Change Control plan is soon realized once your initial SCIEX professional services validation has been completed. Customers already on a Software Plus plan can now take advantage of the software upgrade entitlement without apprehension of re-validation.

Migrating from Analyst to SCIEX OS software

SCIEX OS software and the benefits of its ecosystem can soon be realized through the support of migration process experts. The leap from Analyst software to SCIEX OS software will transform your system and enhance your lab's productivity. The Change Control plan complements the migration to SCIEX OS software. As more features are released for SCIEX OS software, all your validation needs are covered within this plan, and any further work needed as the software upgrades are covered.

When the unexpected occurs

If your system experiences downtime and needs attention from SCIEX professionals, you can rest assured that the SCIEX Change Control plan has you covered for any re-validation that will be necessary once it is back online. The same applies if your software needs to be re-installed; again, your lab is covered. Any necessary re-validations are covered in the rare case of using a disaster recovery policy. 

Delivering validation continuity

As part of this contract risk assessments are performed to determine if your mass spectrometer system requires re-qualification as part of the software change.

Worry free

Upgrade to the latest software to ensure your system has the latest features, security and system performance without business and compliance risk.
