CSSC Awarded Oracle OPM ERP Implementation, Project Management and Validation at Major Cambridge-Based Biopharmaceutical Company; CSSC Will Partner with Whitbread Technology Partners, Specialists in Technical Implementation of Oracle Software

CSSC, a regulatory compliance and validation company, announced today that a major Cambridge-based biopharmaceutical company selected them to oversee Oracle OPM ERP implementation, project management and validation. CSSC will partner with Whitbread Technology Partners, a leading provider of Oracle consulting expertise, to deliver a turnkey solution for supply chain management. The team working on this project will be comprised of consultants from CSSC’s Cambridge, Massachusetts office and Whitbread Technology Partner’s Stoneham, Massachusetts office. Providing local expertise was key in the selection process.

“With CSSC’s proven project management and validation expertise combined with Whitbread Technology Partners’ technical implementation experience, we will be able to optimize our client’s investment in Oracle technology,” said Raymond A. Roggero, president and chief operating officer, CSSC.

CSSC provides comprehensive global services to help pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies stay compliant in a challenging regulatory environment. CSSC has a long and successful history of providing regulatory compliance solutions to pharmaceutical firms. This combined with their project management expertise, growth in the Cambridge area with a new office opening there earlier this year and the ability to seamlessly integrate with Whitbread Technology Partners are reasons why CSSC was selected.

Whitbread Technology consultants have broad Oracle application experience and have participated in numerous implementations. This gives their clients significant leverage to have a successful implementation.

“CSSC and Whitbread Technology Partners can provide a stronger implementation together than either of us could on our own,” said John Schmottlach, President, Whitbread Technology Partners. “Our strength is to implement Oracle software so that it best meets our client’s business requirements, while CSSC can validate that the systems are in compliance according to regulations.”

CSSC manages all client projects based on their proprietary Progressix system, a Project Management methodology designed with an emphasis on regulatory compliance projects. This proven system for managing compliance projects is unique to CSSC and a cornerstone of their service. Decades of validation experience combined with a structured project management approach ensures that projects are completed on schedule, on budget and with high quality.

“We see this as verification that our integrated Project Management methodology, Progressix, is scaleable from the smallest equipment qualifications to large corporate wide ERP implementations,” said George Kuniholm, CSSC Regional Manager.
