Azure Cloud Assurance
Vendor assurance, qualification, release impact, IS health checks, and defensible evidence for regulated Azure use.
Bring together Microsoft cloud, collaboration, and content management with GxP control.
Microsoft helps life sciences organizations connect data, collaboration, infrastructure, applications, analytics, and AI across Azure, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, and Copilot. We help make those environments usable for regulated workloads where content, workflows, releases, evidence, and data integrity must stay controlled.
Partnership capabilities
Where we strengthen Microsoft for regulated operations.
SharePoint GxP Content
Validated document control for collaboration, metadata, search, approval workflows, audit trails, and e-signatures.
M365 + Power Platform
Procedures, permissions, lifecycle controls, and validation strategy for Teams, SharePoint, Power Automate, and Power Apps.
Validation + CSA
Risk-based CSA, requirements, testing, traceability, validation reports, and release management.
Additional document and content management capabilities
Make Microsoft content environments compliant, searchable, collaborative, and AI-ready.
Many life sciences teams already use Microsoft for collaboration; the opportunity is to add the controls that make SharePoint and Microsoft 365 viable for GxP and quality-adjacent content.
Cloud compliance
Embed GxP control across Azure, Microsoft 365, apps, and SharePoint workflows.
- Vendor assurance, release impact, qualification, and validation evidence.
- A practical operating model for Quality, IT, and business teams.
Document lifecycle
Turn SharePoint into governed content management for procedures and evidence.
- Requirements, permissions, versioning, retention, and lifecycle controls.
- Review, approval, archiving, and e-signature workflows.
Metadata and search
Make regulated content findable without weakening access control.
- Metadata and taxonomy that improve discovery across teams.
- Audit-trail and evidence export strategies for inspections.
AI-ready content
Prepare Microsoft content before Copilot or generative AI scales.
- Ownership, structure, metadata, and access boundaries.
- Data integrity, cybersecurity, privacy, and human review controls.
SharePoint migration substance
USDM brings the SharePoint validation muscle back into the Microsoft page.
These Microsoft operating needs are practical service paths for regulated teams.
SharePoint Online validation
USDM has validated SharePoint as a GxP content-management solution, including requirements, configuration, test scripts, traceability, validation summary, training, and ongoing Cloud Assurance maintenance.
Integrated e-signature workflows
For regulated document storage and approval, SharePoint can be paired with compliant e-signature workflows and evidence capture rather than treated as simple file storage.
Fast-start operating controls
Impact assessments, procedures, change management, qualification packages, and prepackaged life sciences best practices reduce the lift of making Microsoft environments defensible.
