Questions about QMSpace and working with GessNet
Straight answers about the platform, implementation, validation, consulting, and working with GessNet.
Platform
QMSpace is a configurable digital platform for structuring and managing relationships among product knowledge, requirements, risks, controls, evidence, workflows, lifecycle decisions, and quality systems. The exact functions used depend on the customer’s scope, configuration, deployment, and licensed capabilities.
QMSpace can work alongside established systems. The target architecture should be based on the information, workflows, source-of-truth responsibilities, integrations, and gaps in the customer’s current environment rather than an assumption that every existing system must be replaced.
Implementation begins with a defined information model, product-development logic, and configurable work-item structures. GessNet can also support templates, digital libraries, and product-class accelerators when those assets are available and appropriate to the customer.
QMSpace is intended to distinguish reusable platform knowledge from product-, customer-, configuration-, market-, and site-specific information. The implementation model should define inheritance, applicability, exceptions, ownership, and change impact.
TurboAC is a specialized tool for risk-management and safety-assurance work. QMSpace has a broader scope across connected product knowledge, development workflows, requirements, risk, evidence, reusable libraries, product platforms, and lifecycle management.
No. Mingra is a separate intelligence application. Mingra focuses on understanding relevant external knowledge and sources; QMSpace focuses on applying and governing knowledge within an organization’s product-development and lifecycle processes.
Traditional eQMS platforms often focus on controlled documents, workflows, approvals, training, CAPA, audits, and other quality processes. QMSpace can support eQMS activities while also structuring product-specific requirements, QTPPs/CQAs, risks, controls, verification and validation evidence, traceability, safety logic, and regulatory content. This helps connect the quality system to the products and evidence it governs.
Requirements-management and engineering tools can provide detailed traceability within a particular discipline. QMSpace is designed to connect information across multiple disciplines, including design controls, risk management, Quality by Design, cybersecurity, quality systems, Safety Assurance Cases, and regulatory submissions.
A first-principles approach begins with what must be true for the product to be safe and effective, then connects the requirements, risks, controls, evidence, and reasoning needed to support those conclusions. QMSpace provides the digital foundation for structuring that information across disciplines and maintaining it through the product lifecycle.
Implementation and validation
GessNet supports both cloud-hosted and customer-managed or on-premises implementations. The available architecture, responsibilities, technical prerequisites, security controls, and release process can be confirmed at each engagement.
GessNet provides full validation package supporting the delivered QMSpace platform and release. The customer can leverage GessNet validation package and implementation support staff to minimize its own validation efforts.
Consulting and working with GessNet
Yes. Consulting can be scoped as advisory support, a defined project, embedded execution, or another agreed model. QMSpace is recommended only when a digital environment materially supports the client’s objectives.
A combined engagement can include configuration, implementation, first-project execution, digital-library development, training, governance, and knowledge transfer. Responsibilities and deliverables should be defined in the applicable proposal or statement of work.
No. Regulatory decisions are made by the applicable authority, and outcomes depend on the product, evidence, submission, sponsor decisions, and review context. GessNet can support strategy, execution, evidence organization, and readiness but should not guarantee an agency outcome.
The demonstration request collects the organization type, product or development context, area of interest, and current challenge. GessNet can then focus the discussion on relevant workflows and relationships rather than provide a generic feature tour.
GessNet provides specialized consulting across QMS & Audit Readiness, combination-product development, design controls, risk management, systems engineering, human factors, design transfer, process validation, regulatory strategy, submission preparation, safety assurance, and QMSpace implementation.
Digital Knowledge Services help organizations transform proven requirements, risks, controls, evidence structures, standards mappings, templates, and expert practices into governed digital assets that can be reused across products, platforms, programs, and sites.
About GessNet
GessNet provides Digital Platforms + Expert Consulting for medical-device, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and drug-device combination-product organizations. GessNet helps teams connect product lifecycle activities, quality systems, risk management, safety assurance, objective evidence, and regulatory submissions while streamlining execution and maintaining end-to-end traceability.
GessNet offers QMSpace for connected medical-product lifecycle, quality, risk, evidence, and regulatory work; TurboAC for Safety Assurance Case development and maintenance; and Mingra for medical-product intelligence. GessNet also provides Expert Consulting and Digital Knowledge Services.
Pharma and combination products
Yes. An established pharmaceutical company can preserve mature cGMP quality processes while using QMSpace to add the device- and combination-product capabilities needed for its scope. This can help minimize disruption to existing quality systems while adding eQMS, design-control, risk-management, traceability, documentation, and submission capabilities.
QMSpace can be configured to support quality-system and product-development processes associated with QMSR and ISO 13485, along with ISO 14971-based risk management. QMSpace does not itself establish regulatory compliance; the applicable configuration, procedures, evidence, and organizational responsibilities depend on the customer’s products and quality system.
Drug-delivery platforms and reuse
Yes. QMSpace can distinguish reusable platform knowledge from product-, pharmaceutical-partner-, customer-, market-, configuration-, or site-specific information. Requirements, risks, controls, evidence, and other proven knowledge can therefore be governed and reused across multiple combination-product programs.
Digital libraries are governed collections of reusable product-development knowledge such as requirements, hazards, risks, controls, evidence structures, test approaches, standards mappings, and templates. They provide a structured starting point while preserving the need for product-specific analysis, decisions, and evidence.
Safety logic and assurance
Safety logic is the structured reasoning that connects safety claims to supporting arguments, requirements, risk controls, and objective evidence. Traceability shows what is connected. Safety logic explains why the evidence supports the safety claim.
A Safety Assurance Case is a structured safety argument supported by evidence. It makes explicit the claims being made, the arguments supporting those claims, and the evidence used to justify them. GessNet supports Safety Assurance Cases through TurboAC, QMSpace, and Safety Assurance Case consulting.
