Challenges Faced before Blueprint

Challenges Faced

Being as dispersed as the IT Synergistics team is, getting everyone on the same page was challenging. This had the potential to lead to breakdowns between the development team and the end user implementing the software.

Stringent Compliance Demands

Some of their products, like LifeTec Elite, are classified as medical devices. This made aspects like traceability, trackability, and following FDA requirements mandatory for their product development and quality assurance processes.

Questions & Communications Lacked Clarity

Rewriting and communicating updates were time consuming for everyone, holding up approvals and increasing development costs. They also wanted to be able to simulate the user experience to ensure teams and objectives were aligned.

Storing Data & Information

Prior to Blueprint, they were challenged to create an interactive work environment leading to knowledge gaps between teams. This stalled future project development since information was not properly transferred across the global organization.

Blueprint Key Features

After evaluating several offerings IT Synergistics felt that Blueprint was the right software to address their company’s need for user simulation and ensure they get requirements right from the start.

FDA Requirements Traceability & Trackability

Blueprint offered the perfect solution to handle these stringent requirements which demand an account of what happened, when it happened, and by who throughout the revision process.

Real-Time Information

Since they operate virtually, it was essential that their solution provided simultaneous visibility based on real-time information.

Visual Requirements

Blueprint’s visually driven requirements definition & management solution could help support their teams through project milestones and processes. This includes authoring, management, validation, monitoring, collaboration, & system integration.
