Sparta Systems announced that Icon, a contract research organization, has selected Sparta’s TrackWise. The system is an enterprise tool for managing global quality requirements that focuses on internal, external, and supplier audits, as well as Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) management.

TrackWise is a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, web-based tracking software tool for electronically managing, tracking, and trending quality and regulatory issues and action items across the enterprise. The ability of TrackWise to centralize unlimited quality processes into a single, integrated system helps organizations increase efficiencies and achieve compliance by linking and consolidating related events and actions, automating workflow, and facilitating trending and reporting across quality systems and organizational areas.

“ICON utilized a formal evaluation process, which initially included sending out detailed requests for proposals to several vendors,” commented Josephine Coyle, vice president of corporate quality assurance at ICON. “The selection team chose TrackWise based on the system’s flexibility and Sparta’s proven experience in the life sciences. We felt that Sparta and TrackWise provided the best long-term solution to meet our needs.”
