Why do you need a consultant?

Having an external consultant actually pays: You use an expert who does not have to learn while you are paying; whose expertise is already available when you need it now; and who has time to concentrate on getting the specific job done. You have no more employer responsibilities when the work is finished. I will work with you so you learn along the way and may be able to do it yourself the next time.

What can I do in your organization?

I can help you

  • Suggesting changes to your workflow

  • Writing your user requirements specification ( URS ) or Request For Proposal (RFP) for your new computer system

  • Assessing the answers to the URS / RPF from the vendors

  • Auditing the vendor or your suppliers for built-in quality of research work or computer systems

  • Writing Standard Operating Procedures ( SOPs ) for your new or old system

  • Writing validation protocols and test plans

  • Writing validation reports

  • Auditing the work you have done
