San Ramon, CA and Philadelphia, PA – June 15, 2009 – Prodiance Corporation, a leading global provider of Governance, Risk and Compliance solutions, and Xyntek, a global leader in Consulting, Design and Build of IT and Automated Systems Solutions, and Compliance, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver spreadsheet control solutions to help global pharmaceutical and biotech organizations mitigate enterprise risk and improve compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 mandates.

The partnership enables Xyntek to provide best-of-breed IT consulting services including installation, training, project management, and advisory to pharmaceutical and biotech organizations deploying the Prodiance Enterprise Spreadsheet Manager system. Under the partnership, the companies will market and deliver the combined solution.

Based in the Philadelphia area, Xyntek is a recognized leader with over 23 years experience in delivering IT consulting services and solutions to help pharmaceutical and biotech organizations automate a variety of key business processes including drug discovery, research and development, pre-clinical and clinical operations, manufacturing, supply chain, and regulatory and GXP compliance.

"Uncontrolled and unmonitored spreadsheets, Access databases and other end-user computing (EUC) applications can expose life sciences organizations to significant non-compliance and operational risks," said Elliot Abreu, vice president at Xyntek.
