Starting point
Former laboratory PCs were in storage. Without coordinated change control, long-term readability drifts: each device a special case, no traceable decision between migration, archiving and virtual machine.
For QA and data integrity a master change control with child changes and evaluated long-term data readability procedures is needed across all 70 inventories.
Approach
cube one coordinated the programme globally and selected migration, archiving or VM per inventory as the tailored solution.
Change control and evaluation
- Change coordination for stored former laboratory PCs in the quality area.
- Master change control and associated child changes created.
- Evaluation of suitable long-term data readability procedures.
Implementing readability paths
- Tailored solution: migration, archiving or virtual machine depending on inventory.
- Tool side: TrackWise.
- Complemented by data readability and system virtualisation.
Result
70 PCs in one year
- Data from 70 laboratory PCs transferred into long-term concept under change control.
- Traceable decision per inventory documented.
- No device without defined readability path.
Compliance and related
- Long-term readability manageable and auditable through change control.
- Related: data archiving.
- TrackWise: Wolters Kluwer.
Long-term readability scales only with master change control, not with 70 one-offs.
