ResMed Upgrades Objective

November 8th, 2006: Medical respiratory device manufacturer ResMed has extended its contract with Objective to roll out its enterprise content management (ECM) solution to 18 countries.

ResMed develops, manufactures and distributes products for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory disorders. It distributes its products in over 67 countries and due to its global operations, ResMed decided to upgrade its existing system to Objective 7. According to Objective, this will give its 800 users a seamless ECM solution across all global manufacturing sites.

“At ResMed, Objective is considered a mission critical system that underpins our entire unstructured information requirements,” said Mr Lionel King, Vice President of Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs, ResMed. “It enables continual improvements in the development of our products, it automates and streamlines business processes, and supports our compliance obligation with stringent international regulatory requirements.”

ResMed’s international operations are growing, making one of the key project objectives to provide offshore manufacturing sites with parallel global performance, and 24 hour-a-day availability. ResMed uses Objective to support Regulatory Affairs management, compliance with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and formaintaining their Quality Assurance procedures for manufacturing.

“We have the option of providing our own staff, external contractors, suppliers and distributors information with read-only or authorised access via a fully functional Objective Web based interface,” said King.

“It is extremely gratifying to see a long-term customer extend their Objective solution to support their growing global operations,” said Tony Walls, CEO Asia Pacific, Objective Corporation. “Objective was evaluated against ResMed’s extensive requirements and also against other global ECM solutions. This contract illustrates both the value of Enterprise Content Management in high-tech manufacturing environments and Objective’s ability to meet the rigorous demands of companies with distributed, global operations.”
