DHC Smart Validation Accelerator
Tool for the digital management of validation documentation and the automation of your validation processes

DHC Smart Validation Accelerator digitalize and automate validation
Computerized System Validation (CSV) is facing a paradigm shift due to new technological, demographic and regulatory challenges. Traditional validation methods are increasingly reaching their limits and need to be replaced by agile, digital approaches to fulfill the needs of modern businesses.
What are the benefits of a validation platform to digitalize and automate validation?
Short innovation cycles combined with cloud computing – even for complex applications such as ERP or MES systems – present CSV with entirely new change management challenges. Technological innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI (genAI), big data or data analytics and smart enterprise require dynamic, risk-based validation approaches. So-called SaaS and PaaS solutions with their regular updates require tool-supported, digitalized and automated solutions that keep the system in a valid state in a timely and reliable manner.
Traditional validation processes that rely on manual activities are time-consuming and error-prone. This not only leads to delays, but also puts you at risk of not fulfilling regulatory requirements on time.
Demographic changes are making the situation worse. The shortage of skilled workers in many industries is forcing companies to use existing resources efficiently and minimise the amount of work involved in recurring, manual activities.
Smart validation platforms support this with advanced data management, rapid adaptation to new regulatory requirements, and automated workflows and testing procedures that free up staff time for value-adding activities.
Regulatory requirements are also becoming more complex. New requirements, such as ensuring data integrity in accordance with GAMP 5 or the increasing importance of audit trails and electronic signatures, are difficult to implement with manual processes. Agile, smart validation solutions offer the advantage of providing seamless traceability, (real-time) monitoring and documentation support to ensure sustainable compliance.
Taken together, these factors create the need for a fundamental modernisation of the validation of computerized-based systems. Smart, tool-supported digitalisation and automation of validation creates the basis for fulfilling increasing requirements, minimising risk and future-proofing the company for the long term.

Challenges:
Validation in regulated industries
Trend towards hybrid system landscapes (SaaS, Paas, On-Premise)

Increasing time pressure due to the discontinuation of central applications and manufacturer-driven shorter innovation cycles of newer solutions

Integration of SaaS and PaaS solutions into GxP-critical processes

High costs and complexity (global regulations, audit preparation, mostly paper-based)

Shortage of qualified staff in relevant fields

Trends in critical thinking and the associated shift in mindset

Our solution: DHC Smart Validation Accelerator for the digitisation and automation of validation
The DHC Smart Validation Accelerator is a modern validation platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and is fully integrated into the SAP ecosystem with SAP Cloud ALM and Tricentis, significantly increasing the efficiency of validation processes. Validation content for GxP-relevant applications and business processes is automatically created, managed in an audit-compliant manner and adapted throughout the compliant and maintained throughout its lifecycle. Technical functions are mapped to business processes in a risk- and process-oriented manner and documented in a comprehnsive format for auditors and process owners.
The smart validation platform helps companies in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology and chemicals not only to speed up the validation process, but also to make it audit-compliant, future-proof and competitive.
The four pillars of the DHC Smart Validation Accelerator are:
Our many years of experience in implementing and validating complex IT systems in the life sciences industry have been incorporated into the DHC Smart Validation Accelerator. This applies both to the validation methodology, which has been developed in an evolutionary way and meets the latest standards, and to the automatically generated content, such as the URS, FS or test plans.
The smart add-in Validation Change Analyzer in the DHC Smart Validation Accelerator identifies the business processes affected by a change and all associated validation content. Ideally, the entire process should be automated, from identifying the change to proposing a change to all relevant content. The responsible manager then only needs to review and sign off on this content.
