Organizations in regulated industries, especially in life sciences and manufacturing, are increasingly moving from legacy, on-premises quality management systems (QMS) to modern, cloud-based electronic QMS (eQMS) platforms. In some cases, on-premises solution providers are no longer supporting on-premises applications. This shift is a strategic move that enhances agility, compliance and scalability. Understandably, moving to a new application and migrating significant amounts of legacy content and data can be intimidating.

On-premises QMS platforms often suffer from limitations that hinder operational efficiency and compliance readiness. These include manual updates, limited access, siloed data and a high burden of IT support. Conversely, a software as a service (SaaS) eQMS offers built-in scalability, regular upgrades, real-time access and secure integration capabilities across the enterprise. It reduces the need for infrastructure maintenance while improving visibility across quality processes.

From a compliance perspective, SaaS eQMS platforms are designed with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11 and GxP principles in mind. Vendors typically provide validation toolkits that reduce validation burden and enhance inspection readiness. For global organizations, this shift also supports harmonization across sites and geographies, especially with mobile and remote access capabilities.

However, the value of a SaaS eQMS is only fully realized when the migration of processes, content and data is managed effectively, and that begins with the right partnership. A successful migration from an on-premises QMS to a SaaS eQMS requires careful planning, change management and close collaboration between the customer and the solution provider.

Register for this webinar to learn best practices for migrating from an on-premises QMS system to a modern cloud eQMS.

What You Will Learn

Attendees will gain insights into:

  • The Shift to Cloud Is Strategic: Moving from an on-premises QMS to a cloud-based (SaaS) eQMS is more than a technology update; it’s a strategic move to enhance agility, scalability and compliance, often driven by vendors ending support for legacy systems.
  • Cloud Overcomes On-Premises Limitations: A SaaS eQMS eliminates the challenges of on-premises systems, such as high IT maintenance, siloed data and manual updates. It offers built-in scalability, real-time global access and better visibility into quality processes.
  • Built for Modern Compliance: Modern SaaS platforms are designed to meet GxP principles and regulations like FDA 21 CFR Part 11. They often include validation support from the vendor, which reduces the internal compliance burden and ensures inspection readiness.
  • Migration Success Is Key: The full value of a cloud eQMS is only realized through a successful migration. This requires careful planning, effective change management and a strong collaborative partnership with the eQMS provider.
