Medical Products

Life Sciences companies stay ahead of the game with Planview

Market consolidation, increasingly rigorous regulations, customer expectations, and competitive pressures: these are but a few of the challenges facing medical device manufacturers. Turn problems into opportunities with Planview, to drive innovation in development, streamline technology and bring it in line with new advances, and automate and make auditable the processes that bring products to market.

Organizations like Abbot Medical Optics, Hollister, Carestream Health, and St. Jude Medical look to Planview to enhance both IT and product development processes -- speed time to market, cut development costs, meet regulatory compliance, and increase operational efficiencies.

Support Regulatory Compliance and Manage Risk

With upcoming changes to 501(k) clearance requirements in the United States, medical device manufacturers have to be prepared to bring more clinical data to bear in support of new products. Together with FDA GMP regulations, this means it's more important than ever to leverage tools like Planview Process Builder to automate and track the product gating processes, for complete process auditability.

Make Better Investment Decisions

Identify and support the initiatives that will deliver the greatest value to the organization. Balance resources, manage budgets, and align investment decisions with company strategy. Once investments are selected, improve performance by dynamically managing money and resources as efficiently as possible.

Drive Innovative Product Development

Identify and support the initiatives that will deliver the greatest value. Speed time to market with HFE products that will trump the competition and support company goals. With Planview Enterprise, you can select the best product ideas and guide those ideas through an automated gating process for complete auditability, all the while balancing demand with resources. The result is greater ROI, an increased success rate, and most importantly, a competitive edge.

Increase Visibility and Manage Risk
