From Paper Records to Validated Lab Software: Navigating GxP Compliance in the Digital Era

The majority of GxP regulated laboratories, from pharmaceutical R&D units to contract research organisations and medical device manufacturers, still manage their critical records on paper. Binders, printed protocols, handwritten signatures and physical audit trails remain the norm, a legacy of decades in which paper was the regulatory gold standard. That standard is shifting. Regulators increasingly expect the level of data integrity, traceability and access control that only validated digital systems can reliably deliver, and labs that postpone the transition are not avoiding risk, they are accumulating it. Yet in environments governed by GxP compliance demands, going digital is never a convenience upgrade. It is a validated change that must be planned, documented and executed with the same rigour as any other quality critical process. This webinar is a knowledge session, not a product demo. It is an honest look at what GxP compliance demands in a digital context, where the complexity truly lies, and how purpose built, validated lab software makes the transition both achievable and defensible.
