MasterControl Enterprise™
Features & Benefits

Easily Control Enterprise-wide Quality Processes for Each Department

A company with hundreds or tens of thousands of employees spread across multiple sites faces a unique challenge: maintaining efficiency in every level without sacrificing overall control and effectiveness. While such a company would need an enterprise-wide system to connect its different business units, it also needs the flexibility to allow individual offices to control their own processes.

How can MasterControl Enterprise™ Benefit You?

MasterControl Enterprise™, a part of the MasterControl integrated quality management suite, provides powerful filtering capability that allows individual business units to manage certain aspects of their processes independently, while enabling the corporate entity to manage corporate-wide processes.

Continuous Validation

MasterControl considers validation an integral part of software solutions for FDA-regulated customers. Our ?continuous validation? approach dramatically cuts the time, pain, and cost involved in validation, making it easier to re-validate future upgrades.

MasterControl's continuum of products and services address different levels of validation needs based on individual risk assessment. They include innovative products and services such as MasterControl Transfer OQ and MasterControl Automated OQ.

Here is how MasterControl addresses common challenges in managing an enterprise-wide system involving multiple business units:

Enterprise Management Challenges		MasterControl Enterprise™ Software
Prone to Mistakes When all routes, vaults, roles, etc. are made available to all business units, it is easier to make mistakes. One administrator may inadvertently change items that would adversely affect another site.		Helps Avoid Mistakes By using filters based on business units, access to certain items will be limited, and so is the potential for making mistakes. Fewer mistakes mean less rework is required by administrators.
Inefficiency Being a part of a large organization, an administrator in one site may have to contend with huge lists of routes, users, vaults, training courses, and other items that are company-wide in scope. The situation is time-consuming, inefficient, and frustrating.		Efficiency MasterControl provides filters based on business unit, so an administrator can focus only on items relevant to his/her site. If at some point, there's a need to include corporate headquarters or another site in a route, or if it becomes necessary to import data from other business units, the administrator would have the ability to change the filter accordingly. This functionality helps save time and increase efficiency.
Optimization Hard to Attain The larger the company, the more complicated enterprise-wide system management becomes. It is almost impossible to expect the system administrator from corporate headquarters to manage the minutiae of every site's processes.		Optimization Made Easy Business units need not depend on corporate headquarters for management of their systems. With MasterControl, they have the ability to optimize their systems by filtering data. They can easily streamline their own processes.

Features

MasterControl Enterprise provides the flexibility that large-scale companies need in managing their quality management systems. It provides robust filters that allow individual business units to optimize their processes by limiting the amount of data that their users must choose from. Below are the solution's highlights.

Business Unit Filter: The filter can be configured either by assigning a role to a particular unit, or by adding the unit through the user profile. With the latter, a user creating a new item (InfoCard type, vault, etc.) will see only the list of choices associated with the business unit specified in his/her user profile.

Assigning Business Units : Specific business units can be the basis for filtering list pages and drop-down selection lists when configuring the following:

• Vaults
• Lifecycle
• InfoCard type
• Users
• Roles
• Document/Form routes
• Numbering series

Filtered Reports: When a user views a report, the data displayed in the report is filtered based on the user's assigned business unit.

Flexible Business Unit: The business unit is a flexible concept, enabling filtering based on a variety of organizational demographics, such as geographic sites, companies, divisions, departments, etc.
