Boehringer Ingelheim Aims to Streamline Clinical Quality Assurance Operations Globally with Sparta Systems’ TrackWise Software

Holmdel, NJ - June 6, 2008 - Sparta Systems, Inc. (Sparta), the maker of TrackWise®, and the marketleader in enterprise quality and compliance management software, today announced that Boehringer Ingelheim, a top 20 global pharmaceutical company, has selected Sparta to further enhance the planning and reporting functions of its system, product and process audits in the field of Clinical Quality Assurance Operations. The company also plans to use TrackWise to track necessary corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) across its various clinical divisions. Prior to Sparta, Boehringer Ingelheim was using standard Microsoft Word files to support these functions.

operations because we have already experienced just how effective the enterprise quality and compliance
software can be in improving overall quality,” said Dr. Gerd Reichert, Head of Corporate Clinical Quality
Assurance, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH.

Boehringer Ingelheim’s Clinical Quality Assurance practice is organized globally across the sites Germany,
the United States, the United Kingdom, and Asia. TrackWise will support the global, integrated clinical
quality assurance system that will streamline its operations across all locations. TrackWise will help to
improve Boehringer Ingelheim maintaining oversight of all planned and conducted clinical quality audits
including tracking of findings and CAPAs. This process is presently facilitated manually.

“Boehringer Ingelheim is an existing client of ours, and their decision to further invest in our TrackWise
solution is a testament to their satisfaction with Sparta and their own deep global commitment to quality
assurance excellence,” said Sahaf Flam, Managing Director, Sparta Systems Europe. “We are truly honored
to be able to contribute to the quality of its overall clinical operations. We understand how imperative it is in
today’s highly regulated clinical trial industry to maintain high-integrity quality trial data to ensure patient
safety and drug efficacy.”
