  1. Ouch on Network Management Outsourced to India · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who in their right mind would do this other than a bean counter ???? I work in this shit every day and am sick and tired of dealing with offshore data-admin-development centers. I call and speak with "Bob" and tell him i need a restore of a local GMP server .... and yet as always its a big friggin hassle...and never gets done properly .... ack.... i need to grow crops or paint houses for a living....this ain't working..... but it never ceases to amaze me the idiots that think this is a "good" idea and beneficial for the company.......

  4. Re:No Exaggeration? on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 1

    Read this site.... http://www.ispe.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Publica tions/GAMP/Gamp_4_Guide.htm I've often presented at these conferences. 21 CFR part 11 DOES provide for data integrity in a number of ways. You HAVE to have protocols for backup, restore and disaster recovery etc.... these will INSURE the integrity of data.. Irregardless of whether it pertains to 21 cfr part 11, sox, hippa or any other regulatory requirements.

  5. Re:No Exaggeration? on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 1

    Not BS I did name 3 processes although there are more. Lets address the following: 21 part 11 satifies certain electronice record signature requirements. SOX is a natual extention of this although updated to reflect the changing nature of technology. Email etc..... Did you ever look at the 21-11 requirements and compare them to the SOX 404's ?? almost the same but... includes email records etc.... natural extension.... Very costly to implement... the Q's i threw in ....as i design them and implememt them as a project manager. You MUST TEST with the Q's. Anybody that tells you different has NEVER been around large data centers. And yes it is lots of work for highly paid consultants. And lastly ... SERVICE-UPDATES....ETC PACKS ARE VERBOOTEN. why ??? cuz they are not tested and validated locally with local data. Remember its all about the data (Val Kilmer ...Red Planet)... ........

    Most of the Pharma data centers i've dealt with in the last 5 years are locked down VERY tight. They have to deal with 21 cfr part 11, Hippa, SOX and a list of others issues and as such sound EXACTLY like the situation you describe. Example, in order to upgrade from MSSQL 7.0 to MSSQL2000 on a Pharma house manufacturing server requires changes to the following: Changes to the original Validation Plan Detailed Design Specs Functional Requirements Specs IP's - Installation protocols OP's - Operational protocols QP's - Qualification protocols ALL of the above operations require testing-testing-testing, a multitude of meetings and of course approvals from God all along the way. Then QA-IT-Engineering has to oversee everything. Its a very cumbersome, expensive process. This is for your-our own good. I have seen manufacturing data corrupted if this process is not followed exactly. Remember this the next time you think about the consistancy of those pills you take.

    I work with these (Aventis) people doing 21 part 11 compliance projects. Yes 50 man days.... sounds about right considering they probably outsourced this to India where most of the IBM contractors I work with reside. Funny thing is in order to get a simple task done 50 indian man days might not be enough. Just goes to show what a sad state of affairs corporate IT has sank to. Bean counters running the show ....yuck

  14. Re:Obviously on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One BIG issue between what people are running now and what they will HAVE to run soon is the little item of SOX compliancy. Be VERY careful that your little million user mail system is compliant or the implementation costs will double. Believe me i do this for a living and just saw one of our financial clients get stung big time.
