Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (formerly Dynamics CRM) Tools to Manage Compliance for GDPR Alignment.

Athens, AL - May 16, 2018 - Fullscope, Inc. ("Edgewater Fullscope"), a leading provider of Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Dynamics AX and CRM), a modern technology platform, has released the GDPR Management Solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement, which gives clients a robust set of tools to manage their compliance with key aspects of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), approved by the EU Parliament in April of 2016 and enforceable starting May 25, 2018.

The GDPR Management Solution extends relevant areas of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement (Dynamics CRM) core functionality to facilitate management of consent and data requests in an end to end process, storing an audit trail of key information and providing real-time reporting on compliance efforts. While GDPR will drive many organizational changes, these are three common business scenarios it will drive that can be addressed by the GDPR Management Solution from Edgewater Fullscope:

1. GDPR requires management of data requests. For example, customers can send in requests for information or requests for erasure-the tools in this solution guide the user through the steps of evaluating, researching, and finally complying with the request, storing a record of the actions in case of future audit.
2. The GDPR requires opt-in consent from contacts in order to retain and process their data. The tools in the solution can be easily integrated with outgoing email campaigns and/or a customer self-service portal to track both the initial and ongoing efforts to obtain consent, again keeping a record of contact interactions.
3. Customers wish to update and manage the data that is stored on them. The solution can be extended with the Microsoft Dynamics portal, or a third party portal solution. This allows customers to update their information directly, as well as submit data requests and receive updates on status of their requests.

"Every single one of our customers that in turn has at least one customer in Europe, needs to do something about GDPR, and we have made the process of them addressing compliance much easier and more practical." says David Kohar, Managing Director at Edgewater Fullscope.

Microsoft World Partner Conference 2014 -- Edgewater Fullscope, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edgewater Technology, Inc. and leading provider of Microsoft Dynamics AX and CRM solutions to manufacturers, has announced the availability of Fullscope EDGE for AX, the latest industry solution designed to complement existing functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 enterprise resource planning (ERP) for chemical, life sciences, pharmaceutical, food, medical device and consumer product goods (CPG) manufacturers.

"As we continued to develop this product, we realized its features were applicable to a broader base of process manufacturers with both regulated and non-regulated production environments," said Russell Smith, senior vice president of Fullscope. "As such, we renamed it from EDGE for Life Sciences & Pharma to EDGE for AX."

Existing features in EDGE for AX that have been updated for Dynamics AX 2012 R3 include Corrective Actions and Preventive Actions (CAPA), enhanced eSignatures, flexible/skip lot sampling plans, approved customer lists and vendor scorecards for quality. To help manufacturers meet specific U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements, new functionalities in EDGE for AX include:

• Master Manufacturing Record (MMR) - Helps manufacturers document how each unique formulation is made, including product specifications, formula/BOM version(s), route(s) and quality requirements (FDA 21 CFR Part 111). 
  

• Device Master Record (DMR) - Provides a compilation of specifications for every unique product confirmation, including production process, packaging and labelling, quality assurance procedures, installation, maintenance and service (FDA 21 CFR Part 820). 
  

• Batch Production Record (BPR), Electronic Batch Record (EBR) or Device History Record (DHR)- Captures and creates complete information up to the point of shipment relating to the production and control of each batch, lot or unit of a regulated product, whether manufactured in bulk or as serialized products or pieces (FDA 21 CFR Part 111.255 and 21 CFR Part 820.184).

"In addition to several new features, we improved the overall CAPA experience in EDGE for AX," said Reddy Beeram, director of product development for Fullscope. "The CAPA functionality now works more seamlessly with the Dynamics AX 2012 security and worker framework. EDGE for AX is much more tightly aligned to the case management framework, which was a specific request from our customers. We believe EDGE for AX will ultimately make our customer's job easier."
