How to run a side-by-side POC for a regulated suite
A practical evaluation script for pharmaceutical buyers comparing regulated document, training, and quality platforms—live scenarios, not slide decks.
Write three end-to-end scenarios
Pull from your SOPs: approve a controlled document with training gate; open a deviation with document impact; walk a batch or inspection evidence path if those modules are in scope. Every vendor runs the same script.
Score people who will live in the system
Include QA, IT/validation, and at least one floor or authoring user. Slide-only demos hide friction that a two-hour live session reveals.
Commercial model under growth
Model users and plants for five years. Seat and plant fees dominate long TCO. Prefer written quotes over brochure bands—and refuse list prices that do not match your growth path.
Deployment and identity
Confirm on-prem or private cloud needs, SSO, and how partners get limited access. Ask where any AI assistant runs.
