Reusable documentation
Structure requirements, design information and testing so common platform capabilities do not have to be rediscovered and re-documented from scratch for every application.
Regulated automation
Automation for environments where control matters.
doss combines faster application approaches with the documentation, testing, validation and governance considerations required for regulated and high-risk business processes.
Regulated & high-risk work
Faster delivery only matters if the control model can keep up.
doss's direct experience in regulated automation comes from healthcare and life sciences, including GxP use cases. That experience shaped a core principle: accelerating application development does not create much value if documentation, testing, validation and governance remain disconnected from the way the solution is built.
The same principle is useful anywhere a process carries meaningful quality, security, compliance or operational risk.
Quality & validation framework
Adapt the control framework to the technology.
For regulated applications, doss can help define documentation structures and validation approaches that reflect the reusable nature of modern application platforms. In life-science environments, that can include artifacts such as user requirements, solution/design documentation and IQ/OQ protocol formats.
Risk-based controls
Match the level of documentation, testing, approval and governance to the risk and intended use of the solution rather than applying the same treatment indiscriminately.
Validation automation
Automation should also improve the work around software delivery.
When applications can be designed and changed quickly, quality processes can become the new bottleneck. doss looks for opportunities to use native platform and integration capabilities to automate supporting activities such as document generation, protocol creation, change-management records and approval workflows.
Citizen & distributed development
Give domain experts more capability without abandoning governance.
No-code/low-code and AI-assisted development can move solution creation closer to the people who understand the process. In regulated environments, however, decentralization needs a deliberate control model. doss uses risk-based approaches to identify where distributed development is appropriate and how capabilities can be introduced in phases.
Direct experience
Where doss's regulated perspective comes from.
Healthcare & life sciences
doss was created after applying modern application-platform technology to business processes in life-science organizations and confronting the documentation, validation and quality requirements that come with those environments.
GxP and non-GxP use cases
The original doss work included both regulated and non-regulated business applications, which reinforced the need to scale controls to the risk of the specific use case.
End-to-end SDLC support
doss can support design, documentation, development, testing, validation and support as one lifecycle or integrate with a customer's existing responsibilities and quality model.
