Revolutionizing the FDA Operations through Agile and Low-Code Platforms
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA)
The FDA was struggling to maintain legacy systems like FACTS/AMS and CMARS, which were outdated and lacked modern features and usability. Legacy systems were not efficient in workflow, increased maintenance efforts, and compliance risks. Scaling applications to accommodate changing business processes, integration of advanced tools, and improving user experience were essential.
