Join Kalypso and Oracle on March 25, 2009 at 8AM in Costa Mesa, CA for a two hour complimentary breakfast session to discuss best practice models for maintaining compliance while streamlining NPD. Register now at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/292728559.

For today's medical device companies, implementing new product development (NPD) processes that comply with increasing regulatory requirements is a challenge. Many companies have inadvertently deployed overly bureaucratic systems and, as a result, have found themselves with increasing costs and slowing development. Kalypso recently completed research to explore how leading medical device companies – from startups to multibillion dollar enterprises – are balancing NPD with compliance requirements.

This session will explore innovation and NPD best practices unique to the medical device industry, including:

  • Project Governance and Decision Making
  • Process Structure
  • Project Team Organization
  • Portfolio Management
  • Software Systems & Tools
