Aerogen Pharma has strengthened its Quality Management System by adopting Policy Express, a policy and document control solution developed by Microsoft Solutions Partner Information EXP and built natively within SharePoint. The initiative marks a significant step in modernising quality operations for the fast-growing inhaled therapies specialist.
With regulatory oversight spanning Ireland and the US, Aerogen needed a flexible yet robust solution that could simplify compliance, improve collaboration, and support continuous improvement, without the financial burden typically associated with enterprise electronic QMS platforms.
“Like many small pharma companies, we were stuck with paper-based systems and wet signatures. Enterprise tools were out of reach,” said Dan Burgess, Senior Director of Quality Assurance. “When we discovered Policy Express, it was clear this would meet our needs without compromise.”
Within just 90 days, Aerogen Pharma fully deployed and validated Policy Express as an electronic QMS platform within its existing Microsoft 365 environment. Built entirely within SharePoint, the solution delivered:
- Full rollout in under 90 days
- 100% training compliance within 2 months
- Improved audit readiness and document control
- Significant cost savings vs traditional eQMS platforms
Because Policy Express operates directly in SharePoint, users can work closely with SOP authors, automatically capture all quality actions, and maintain transparent audit trails across procedures, ensuring alignment with both European and US regulatory standards.
“We now have a digital system that’s not only inspection-ready but has helped our team think differently about what’s possible in SharePoint,” Burgess added.
Today, Policy Express is helping regulated organisations modernise quality and compliance frameworks, replacing outdated manual workflows with scalable digital systems that eliminate unnecessary licence costs and long-term vendor dependency.
