Features
Digitalize Life Science PLM framework
DTLS provides digital ISA-88 compliant process framework for PLM data previously defined on paper. This allows for a single source of the truth for clear and robust, governance, and provides a digital archive of changes over time.

Digitalized framework to Accommodate Life Science PLM complexities
Accommodates significant complexity, particularly associated with biologics and personalized medicine. DTLS drives core components of the QBD (Quality-By-Design) methodology, such Critical Process Parameters, Test Methods, Critical Quality Attributes, Relationships and Design Spaces.

Visual Process Builder and Execution Engine
Uses a Drag and Drop “Process Builder” to create process flows and relationships, while leveraging the underlying SAP S/4HANA (or SAP ECC) data model within the tool. DTLS also has its own connected EBR solution to “execute” the process and compare actual to ideal data within visual analytics.
