Conformia and SAP to Engage in Joint Sales Efforts to Offer Development Operations Platform to SAP Users in Regulated Process Manufacturing Industries

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - July 30, 2007

Who:
Conformia, the market leader and innovator of enterprise solutions for product/process lifecycle management (PPLM) for regulated process-manufacturing industries.

What:
Conformia has been invited to participate in the SAP Summer Sales Meeting for the SAP sales force and select partners. The conference, taking place in Washington DC, is geared to mobilize the SAP sales force and its partners. The joint Conformia – SAP team will work to extend the value of the Conformia Development Operations Platform to SAP’s existing user base.

As an SAP-endorsed business solution, Conformia integrates with SAP at the platform, application and business scenario levels to build a bridge between development and manufacturing functions of product operations in regulated process industries such as life sciences and beverage alcohol. This enables regulated companies to meet business performance, product and compliance goals.

Regulated industries today face heavy regulations, consumers who demand accountability, and shareholders who demand innovation. But the life science industry, for example, is mired in massively fragmented, slow, undependable and expensive processes – costing the industry millions of dollars, putting consumers at risk and creating difficulty in meeting shareholder goals.

Recent research conducted by Conformia for the FDA revealed that the biggest challenge and opportunities to resolving these issues stems from the way in which critical product/process science knowledge is captured, stored and retrieved. The Conformia solution, supported by SAP at the platform and application level, lies in enabling electronic data capture and correlation of information on people, materials, process, equipment, environment/ facilities and standards in a single system across the entire product/ process lifecycle. Beginning an entirely new application category, created by Conformia, the Development Operations System simultaneously monitors, tracks, and manages the entire process on one end-to-end solution master data management system across all functions.
