The company’s head office is in Horsham, West Sussex and its research and development facility is based in Galway, Ireland.
As Veryan are responsible for running clinical trials in the US, they are required to comply with strict regulations laid down by the Food & Drugs Association (FDA), the obligations to Title 21 CFR Part 11 specifically in regards to the management of electronic records. As an M2 Assist Gold partner, Veryan Medical contacted M2 Computing to discuss SharePoint Online Title 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and granting access to independent auditors. To meet this need, M2 Computing set up a project plan to design, develop and deploy a Records Center in SharePoint Online.
