Dori Gonzalez-Acevedo Co-Founder & CEO of ProcellaRX welcomes Jacqueline Davidson, Owner of Davidson QA Consulting and Head of Regulatory Intelligence and Innovation at Sware, Inc to Software Quality Today.
Download now to listen to Jackie’s perspective on S.O.U.P, (Software of Unknown Providence) what is it and how can you leverage it within your organization.
Innovation is driven by scientists; they test the limits of their ideas as quick as possible to see what’s possible and vet out what’s not – one way to do that as efficiently as possible is with the use Open-Source technology/software rather than having to build their own. As an industry we need to be able to shift to use S.O.U.P. where possible in order test our hypotheses and potentially save critical time to market as a competitive advantage. This often comes by using open-source technology but how can we if we don’t have ultimate control over that software?
S.O.U.P may not be a term you may not be familiar our guest today clarifies, puts it into perspective and how it could be utilized in a heavily regulated industry such as life sciences when it’s fit for purpose.
