The NEO Platform

NEO VLMS: computerized system validation software

NEO VLMS manages the computerized system validation lifecycle for life sciences organizations. It is a GxP validation platform that centralizes user requirements, risk analysis, IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, execution, evidence, signatures and reports, from URS to validation report.

NEO VLMS replaces scattered documents, spreadsheets and wet-ink signatures with a digital, traceable process — a single place where each system or piece of equipment keeps its requirements, risks, tests and evidence.

Every requirement flows through to the evidence that proves it: URS requirement → risk (FMEA) → test case (IQ/OQ/PQ) → signed result → coverage. That chain is read as a requirements traceability matrix and rolled up into the validation report, so any requirement can be followed to the signed result that closes it.

CSV and CSA: documented evidence and risk-based testing

Computerized system validation (CSV) — also called computerized systems validation — organizes the documented evidence that a system meets its intended use. Computer Software Assurance (CSA) prioritizes critical thinking and risk-proportionate testing, so effort goes where it matters most.

NEO VLMS helps you structure that work — requirements, risks, tests, evidence and approvals — in one place, whether you follow a traditional CSV approach or adopt risk-based CSA practices. How each approach is applied still depends on your procedures and judgment.

What your team gains with NEO VLMS

One validation lifecycle
URS, risk analysis, protocols, execution and reporting in a single system instead of scattered documents and spreadsheets.
Traceable by construction
Each requirement links to its risk, its test cases and its signed result, with coverage shown as a percentage.
Electronic signatures
Every approval records an electronic signature — name, UTC timestamp, meaning and IP — before the record changes. Designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
Verifiable audit trail
Every action is written to an append-only, hash-chained log with on-demand integrity verification and PDF export.
Faster audit preparation
Export any URS, FMEA, protocol, project report or audit trail as a controlled PDF, straight from the record.
Multi-tenant isolation
Each organization’s data lives in its own database, with role-based access, department scoping and SSO.

The whole validation lifecycle on one platform

Each stage feeds the next, and traceability runs through the whole chain, from requirement to signed evidence.

Specify
  • URS
    Requirements with criticality and GxP impact
Assess
  • Risk (FMEA)
    S × O × D → RPN, keyed to requirements
Protocol
  • IQ / OQ / PQ
    Test cases with acceptance criteria
Execute → Report
  • Results
    Actual result, deviations, evidence — signed
  • Coverage & PDF

Why digitize computerized system validation

On paper, validation is slow and fragile: protocols are retyped, signatures are chased across desks, and traceability is a spreadsheet someone maintains by hand. When an inspector asks how a requirement was proven, the answer can take days to assemble.

NEO VLMS makes the record electronic and the traceability automatic. It is part of T2’s digital compliance approach, and pairs naturally with a CSV and GAMP 5 program that has moved off paper.

Manage the URS and user requirements

Build the User Requirements Specification (URS) with structured, testable requirements, then version and sign it in a controlled workflow — so each requirement is ready to link to its risks and its tests.

Structured, traceable, signed requirements

Structured requirements
Each requirement carries a category, criticality and GxP impact; critical, high-impact requirements are enforced as mandatory, so no key requirement is left uncovered.
AI-assisted authoring
Improve a requirement’s wording with AI to keep it testable and unambiguous, and cut review back-and-forth.
Import requirements
Extract requirements from an existing specification instead of retyping them, and speed up project kickoff.
Versioned and signed
Move the URS from draft → in review → approved through a signed workflow, keeping every version for its history.

Analyze risk with FMEA

Score each risk by Severity, Occurrence and Detection; the RPN (risk priority number) is computed automatically and links back to the URS requirement it addresses, so testing focuses where risk is highest.

Build and reuse IQ/OQ/PQ protocols

Author protocol templates with sections, test cases and acceptance criteria, and reuse them to cut repetitive writing, standardize acceptance criteria and speed up new validation projects. Version, clone, mark obsolete and instantiate a project from a template.

Run validation projects

The project brings together assets, URS, protocols and team, defines the documents it requires, and executes test cases with their actual result, deviations and evidence.

Keep requirements traceability

Traceability matrix
See which requirements are covered, which tests verify them and which signed results prove they are met.
Execution evidence preserved
Record result, actual result, deviations and evidence per test case; re-executions are appended, never overwritten.
Coverage in view
Watch requirement coverage percentage and execution progress update as the team works through the protocols.
Validation report
Generate the validation report as a PDF from the project’s own records, without redoing a separate document.

Control documents and evidence

Upload specifications, manuals, protocols and evidence with versioning, validity and effective dates, an approval workflow and signed addenda. Expiry alerts warn owners before a document lapses, so no evidence is left uncovered.

Manage approvals and electronic signatures

Approval flows are configured per organization. Every transition that needs sign-off records an electronic signature before it advances, and multi-approver gates wait until every required approval is in. Each signature is written to the audit trail.

NEO VLMS in your compliance framework

NEO VLMS is the validation backbone of the NEO platform: it shows that the systems you run in production were built and tested against their requirements. It sits alongside the operational modules — for example, once a system like NEO EBR is validated here, its electronic batch records inherit a documented validation history.

Final compliance does not depend on software alone: it depends on your configuration, on the validation of the system itself, on your procedures and on how your organization uses it. NEO VLMS centralizes the documentation and evidence needed to sustain that compliance and respond to audits more readily, within a digital compliance and CSV and GAMP 5 approach.

  • Traceability on demand
    Follow any requirement to the signed evidence, and export it as a controlled PDF.

Frequently asked questions

What types of systems and equipment can NEO VLMS manage?+

Computerized systems (software) and equipment or processes: any asset that needs a documented, risk-based validation with IQ/OQ/PQ evidence. Each one is kept in the inventory with its validation state in view.

How does NEO VLMS support 21 CFR Part 11 requirements?+

Approvals are signed electronically and each signature is recorded — name, UTC date and time, meaning and IP — before the record changes. The audit trail is append-only and hash-chained, with on-demand integrity verification. Final compliance depends on your configuration, validation and procedures.

Does NEO VLMS validate a system automatically?+

No. NEO VLMS structures and documents the validation work — requirements, risks, protocols, execution and approvals — but the validation is performed by your teams according to your procedures. The platform provides traceability, version control and evidence, not an automatic approval.

How is each organization’s data separated?+

NEO VLMS is multi-tenant: each organization’s data lives in its own database, and access is further scoped by role and by department.
