Anax Consulting provides hands-on scientific informatics and validation support for pharmaceutical and life-sciences organizations. Our work is grounded in real project execution across regulated environments, with deep experience supporting chromatography data systems and laboratory informatics platforms used in day-to-day operations.
We help clients design, implement, validate, and support systems that scientists rely on to generate and manage critical data.

System Design

We help clients design informatics systems that support regulated laboratory workflows, with a strong focus on chromatography data management while remaining aligned with broader lab and enterprise architectures.
This includes:
• Defining system requirements with laboratory, IT, and Quality teams
• Designing architectures for chromatography data systems, including Waters Empower CDS, as well as adjacent informatics platforms
• Planning integrations between instruments, CDS, ELN, LIMS, and data repositories
• Evaluating deployment models, configurations, and upgrade strategies
Our designs are based on how systems are actually used in regulated laboratories — not abstract diagrams.

System Implementation

We support system implementations from planning through production use, with extensive hands-on experience delivering chromatography data systems in regulated environments.
This includes:
• Configuration and deployment of CDS platforms, including Empower
• Instrument connectivity and data acquisition setup
• Integration with upstream and downstream systems
• Site rollouts, global deployments, and phased implementations
• Cutover planning, execution, and go-live support
We work directly with project teams to ensure systems are delivered in a way that supports both laboratory efficiency and compliance.

Documentation

We develop and support the documentation required to operate and maintain compliant informatics systems.
This includes:
• User and functional requirements for CDS and supporting systems
• Configuration and design documentation
• SOPs, work instructions, and operational guides
• Traceability matrices linking requirements, configuration, and testing
Documentation is written to reflect real system behavior, inspection expectations, and laboratory use cases.

Validation Planning & Testing

We provide validation planning and execution support for chromatography data systems and related informatics platforms.
This includes:
• Risk-based validation strategies tailored to CDS implementations
• Test planning and execution aligned with system configuration and laboratory workflows
• IQ/OQ/PQ support where applicable
• Deviation management and remediation
• Validation summaries and inspection-ready deliverables
Our validation approach is shaped by extensive experience validating and defending CDS implementations during audits and inspections.

Staff Augmentation & Execution Support

When clients need additional expertise or capacity, we provide hands-on support embedded within their teams.
This includes:
• Short-term or project-based staff augmentation
• Empower subject-matter expertise to support configuration, troubleshooting, and upgrades
• Execution support during implementations, upgrades, and remediation efforts
• Filling gaps across informatics, validation, and documentation roles
We adapt to what the client needs — from deep technical execution to day-to-day problem solving — and focus on getting work done.
