New preconfigured solution integrates industry best practices for midsize medical device companies

IRVINE, CA – November 11, 2005 – Ki Solutions, an enterprise solutions provider and SAP Certified Channel Partner, today announced the release of Ki4 Medical Devices – the only qualified mySAP™All-in-One solution for medical device companies in the United States. The new pre-packaged solution includes preconfigured industry-specific best practice scenarios designed to address medical device industry issues including FDA compliance requirements, full patient device tracking and waste reduction from expired shelf-life materials for manufacturers and distributors of medical supplies, diagnostics and implants. Ki4 Medical Devices’ numerous tools and accelerators facilitate a rapid deployment and minimize day-to-day business disturbance, while reducing total cost of ownership and accelerating return on investment.

“Companies in the medical device industry face unique challenges, including stringent compliance requirements” said Philippe De Smedt, COO of Ki Solutions. “Ki4 Medical Devices offers a complete solution that solves these issues for midsize organizations and Ki Solutions has the expertise to help them successfully implement the solution with project management, training and customer support.”
“A fear of high implementation costs often deters mid- and smaller sized companies from deploying the enterprise wide software solutions they need,” said Patrick Evans, VP of All-in-One for SAP’s Small and Midsized Enterprise Business Unit. “With SAP All-in-One solutions such as Ki4 Medical Devices, midsized and even start-up companies can deploy the same enterprise level solutions that their larger competitors rely on, but with affordable implementation costs, timelines and solution deliverables completely pre-determined before the implementation begins.”
Ki4 Medical Devices – which provides 100% real-time information – includes compliant Manufacturing (FDA GMP & Part 11 Regulations), Integrated Configure to Order capabilities, full patient device tracking, automatic movement of expiring shelf-life materials, serial number/lot traceability, customer lot pricing and reservations and collaboration capabilities between R&D and business partners for revision control, specs and drawings.
