Step by step, Mr. Harrison will walk you through his own spreadsheet to demonstrate what functionality needs to be validated and what security controls need to be put into place.
Like every FDAnews webinar, Spreadsheet Validation is convenient to attend. All that’s required is that you be in front of a screen at the appointed time, whether you’re at the office or telecommuting from your home office.
Of course, Mr. Harrison will be on hand to answer all of your questions. Simply submit your questions via email, and you’ll have answers by the time the session ends.
