Qondoc -
Astra Tech updates documentation tools for its IT environment. The American FDA and the Swedish Medical Products Agency emphasize the importance of accurate and up to date information. “Qondoc is spot-on within this area, where we are facing great challenges,” says Johan Mattsson, department manager for IT infrastructure and support at Astra Tech in Mölndal, Sweden.
High regulatory requirements
Astra Tech is a fast growing and continuously evolving company. It is also operating in an industry where the regulatory requirements on transparency and authenticity are high. It is not only Astra’s medical technology that must meet the highest standards; the company's IT security level is equally important.
Qondoc hits the mark
In competition with several major players, Astra Tech chose Qondoc Application. “Many other solutions we have investigated are very heavy and complex, and there are many functions we don’t need for the time being. Qondoc hits the mark within this area, where we are facing great challenges,” says Johan Mattsson.
Changes require automatisation
“The authorities, e.g. the American FDA (Federal Drug Administration) and the Swedish Medical Products Agency, emphasize the importance of keeping the documentation on our technical environments up to date. In our position, with rapid growth and continuous development, this would be difficult to handle manually," says Johan Mattsson.
Documentation and logging
Therefore, Astra Tech has looked for a product with a high level of automation which at the same time is relatively easy to manage and which gathers everything concerning documentation and logging in the IT environments. “We have been looking for a tool which can automate at least some parts of our comprehensive documentation process. This is the main reason for choosing Qondoc,” says Johan Mattsson.
Qondoc Application was the one.
“We chose Qondoc Application so that we can document the IT infrastructure, but also be able to document complex applications and system relationships in an improved way,” he says.
Astra Tech develops, manufactures and markets medical implants and advanced healthcare products for single use.
