ValidationMaster enables companies to ensure sustained compliance through automation.

OnShore periodically updates its software and services to meet the current industry demands.

The firm participates in industry events which deliver current thought leadership and ideas that can enhance its products and services. OnShore is driven by its pursuit of excellence and innovation which ensures that clients receive the highest quality of offerings. Prior to the pandemic, many clients viewed the automation of the validation process as a luxury rather than a necessity. CEO Valarie King-Bailey says, “During the pandemic, I started to receive many calls from prospects who recalled seeing a demo of ValidationMaster and its automation features and wanted to revisit the automation process again. This was an unexpected henomenon that led to our listing as one of the INC 5000 fastest growing companies in America. We were stunned at the growth we experienced during the pandemic, as we doubled the size of the company. This is a classic example of where technology meets the challenge of the day.” Many clients in the life sciences industry during the pandemic were trying to develop new therapies to address the COVID-19 epidemic. Companies needed to automate their validation processes to ensure regulatory compliance which OnShore was able to provide. Since the pandemic, ValidationMaster has grown substantially and OnShore Technology Group (OnShore) is an independent validation and verification firm (IV&V) on a mission to become a leader in the global life sciences industry. As an IV&V, the firm helps companies validate or test computer systems, equipment, laboratories, processes, and many other projects. With its digital validation solutions and professional services, OnShore Technology Group aims to be the premier enterprise digital validation management and quality system. For its pioneering lean validation methodology, OnShore Technology Group has received a Global Excellence Award for this year’s Leading Innovators in Life Sciences IV&V Software.
