Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of enterprise risk, compliance and quality management software solutions, today announced that Creative Testing Solutions, a new laboratory testing operation for the blood services industry, will implement Pilgrim’s document and training management systems to manage all documents and training records across the newly formed organization.
Creative Testing Solutions, established in 2009, was formed when Florida Blood Services (FBS) and Blood Systems spun off their laboratory operations and combined them under a new joint venture. Both FBS and Blood Systems work with Pilgrim’s management solutions; as such, the executive leadership of Creative Testing Solutions decided to implement Pilgrim’s software as well, viewing it as a “turnkey” document management and training system for use within the new joint venture.
Pilgrim’s Document Management solution helps businesses cost-effectively create, manage and share critical documents and best practices (e.g., standard oprating procedures) across the entire enterprise. By connecting people, processes and documents, the solution improves organizational effectiveness, agility and competitiveness. Pilgrim's highly configurable Training & Certification Management solution enables companies to manage personnel skill sets and certification requirements, and streamline classroom and on-line course activities, thereby supporting operational success and overall profitability by ensuring an educated and proactive workforce, superior job quality, and industry and regulatory compliance.
“We selected Pilgrim’s solutions for our document management and training management needs due to its proven usage in the blood services industry,” said Sally Caglioti, president of Creative Testing Solutions. “Pilgrim’s document management and training and certification management systems suited our requirements very closely. Additionally, by implementing the document and training systems in tandem, we eliminate the need for integration into a separate document management system.”
“With Pilgrim’s centralized solutions, Creative Testing Solutions will have an effective closed-loop process in place that will support the blood industry’s strict regulations by offering broad visibility of SOPs, and ensuring employees are updated on the latest SOPs,” said Prashanth Rajendran, chief operating officer for Pilgrim Software. “This, in turn, will lead to ongoing worker effectiveness and overall operational efficiency within the new organization.”
