Sparta Systems, Inc. Successfully Completes Third PDA Software Supplier Quality Audit

Holmdel, NJ - January 11, 2006 – Sparta Systems, Inc., (Sparta) the maker of TrackWise®, the leading product for Quality Management Systems (QMS) software for life science and other highly regulated industries, announced today that it has successfully completed its third Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) Software Supplier Quality Audit.

The Pharmaceutical Industry Software Supplier Quality Audit, conducted by SynTegra, an independent, PDA-approved auditor, allows Sparta's customers to meet federal government auditing requirements for companies that supply software solutions to the pharmaceutical industry. Following the PDA audit process, the auditors reviewed documented evidence of ten key areas: Quality System, Project Management, Software Methodology, Testing, Configuration Management, Manufacturing, Documentation & Records Management, Security, Training & Education and Maintenance. An excerpt from the final audit summary noted: "Sparta Systems has an extremely comprehensive documented quality system. This is not surprising given that its business is writing software for structuring quality systems."

"Participating in PDA Audits is a respected way for Sparta Systems to demonstrate its compliance with industry standards for developing software," said Charles Steiniger, Manager of Quality Assurance at Sparta Systems. "Completing this audit helps our customers and prospective customers reduce risk and save significant cost and time commitments in lieu of conducting their own audits. The audit provides out clients assurance that Sparta Systems' TrackWise software is in compliance with the PDA's established Supplier Audit Process Model, which includes 21 CFR Part 11 requirements."

Sparta completes a PDA Software Supplier Quality Audit every two years, and has passed both previous audits in 2001 and 2003.

The PDA designed the Auditing of Suppliers Providing Computer Products and Services for Regulated Pharmaceutical Operations (TR-32) after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) appealed to the regulated industry to standardize the auditing process for computer software and service suppliers and establish a global repository for the audit information.

Sparta Systems' completed audit report will be available at SynTegra's Audit Resource Center, which provides online access to a secure audit data repository. Through a partnership with PDA (Parenteral Drug Association), the Center is designed to enable secure sharing of completed computer products and service audits used by FDA-regulated pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers.
