P-WAVE RELEASES LATEST VERSION OF LABCORE
P-Wave, Inc., a leader in web-based applications and document and records management solutions for regulated industries, announces the release of LabCORE V2.01, a web-based document and workflow management application. A combination of five new and enhanced features – a Flexible Storage File System, the ability to create ‘customized clients,’ archiving and retrieving e-mails, an electronic signature capability, and a searchable audit trail – make the LabCORE solution even more valuable for laboratories or other FDA and EPA regulated companies who are struggling to comply with regulations and who need to control and manage huge volumes of documents and data.
LabCORE’s Flexible Storage File System (FSFS) enhancement allows laboratories to store extremely large numbers of documents in multiple locations, and yet have all documents centrally managed from LabCORE’s hub. This enhancement overcomes the limitation of having to store all documents on a single system. It also allows files to be rapidly retrieved from many different systems.
The ‘custom client’ capability allows for the creation and integration of customized user programs and specialized interfaces to facilitate document and records management. This feature lets users upload a single file with many documents in it or to import multiple documents into LabCORE by merely “dragging and dropping” them into the appropriate folder.
While the initial version of LabCORE handled nearly every file type, P-Wave recognized the need to include the ability to archive and retrieve e-mail. With LabCORE V2.01, users can now import, archive, and retrieve e-mails as easily as they do other file types.
P-Wave has also enhanced LabCORE’s ability to control document access and to track all system activity. Included in LabCORE V2.01 is a fully 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic signature capability, whereby several individuals can digitally sign a document.
Lastly, LabCORE V2.01 has an enhanced searchable audit trail that logs and archives all actions performed within LabCORE, including editing, adding, viewing and signing a document.
According to Mark Ferrero, President of P-Wave, “Integrating these new features into LabCORE is just the first in a series of planned LabCORE releases for 2005. This version of LabCORE enhances its position as a unique document and records management solution that can handle the needs of any size laboratory at a price that is easily affordable for the small to medium-size market. It also extends the product’s ability to (1) handle large volumes of data, (2) manage multiple file types and (3) control and track all files through their lifecycle, while complying with FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.”
LabCORE V2.01 will be exhibited for the first time at PITTCON® 2005, held at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida USA from February 28 – March 3, 2005 in booth #2546.
