Increasing its collection, OnShore Technology Group has been awarded Acquisition International’s Best Life Sciences IV&V Software and Services Firm, 2022.

The most important asset to OnShore Technology Group is, of course, its team of devoted professionals. Simply put, the team play a critical role within the company, maintaining all the front-line contact with clients. Henceforth, OnShore Technology Group endeavours to only hire experienced, qualified validation engineers that align with its core values.
Bolstering this aim is the company’s intensive hiring profile, which ensures that all of its validation engineers have deep industry domain experience and the technical competency in the validation and verification process. In addition, OnShore Technology Group works to cultivate a positive working environment. The firm has developed an open and flexible workspace and is dedicated to the success of each and every person that works for the company.
Serving a vast range of clients, it is vital that the team is equipped to undertake a variety of unique needs and desires. OnShore Technology Group operates within the global life sciences industry and collaborates with companies across a variety of sectors – including, pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, and other companies regulated by global regulatory bodies such as the US food and drug administration, Health Canada, and the Japanese Medicines Authority. Across the day-to-day operations, the team works to forge a partnership with the client, resulting in a long-term relationships being developed.
It is through the success of such methods that OnShore Technology Group has been awarded numerous accolades. Both its team and its products have been continuously recognised for their effectiveness and quality. Since its founding, the company has garnered international acclaim. For example, in 2021, CEO Valarie King-Bailey received the prestigious Kenneth G. Chapman Award, which recognizes significant contributions in validation excellence. Furthermore, supplied by the Institute of Validation Technology Network, the award recognises the lasting impact the recipient has made in the field of validation and/or compliance activities in pharmaceutical, medical device, or biotech manufacturing.
Receiving such reputable awards has enhanced OnShore Technology Group’s standing within the independent validation and verification services market – unlike its competitors, its contributions have been recognised and celebrated on an international scale. Similarly, OnShore Technology Group’s unique approach makes it a recognisable face amongst a myriad of indistinguishable companies. OnShore Technology Group coined the term ‘lean validation,’ derived from the principles of lean manufacturing which are designed to streamline and optimize the manufacturing processes. These principles were then applied to the validation project, resulting in OnShore Technology Group’s ValidationMaster™, the FIRST lean validation system on the market. The system is unlike any other, deviating from the traditional paper-based method, instead utilising an agile and digital approach.
The Covid-19 pandemic, however, has inspired a new wave of challenges for the industry. Many of OnShore Technology Group’s clients are in pursuit of vaccines, PPEs, and products to support the fight against COVID. In addition to this challenge, many of its clients are seeking to bring new products to market to save lives, transitioning to remote working, and are seeking to power their businesses through new technologies. As a result, OnShore Technology Group has seen an exponential increase in work. The automation of validation processes is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. The boom in business saw OnShore Technology Group made the 2021 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing companies in America.
Going forward, OnShore Technology Group is seeking to expand its internal team and to continue the optimisation of its ValidationMaster™ Enterprise Validation Management and Quality system. Moreover, its primary goal is to continue aiding clients in the development of their businesses’ validation and verification processes. Throughout the next year, there are many projects in the pipeline, including the extension of its product roadmap to include integrations with third-party applications and the further development of the ValidationMaster Academy.
