Startup Aims To Ease Compliance Pains

Quality Systems Laboratories, or QS Labs, Irvine, Calif., will provide compliance applications and services for a variety of markets, said Joe Lindsay, president and CTO of the startup. Lindsay is an industry veteran and former CTO of Costa Mesa, Calif.-based application development and solution provider eBuilt.

QS Labs' first set of compliance solutions, including content management and process management solutions, will focus on the life sciences market and help customers deal with legislation mandated by the Food and Drug Administration, Lindsay said. Software and services for other vertical markets will follow. QS Labs has secured an initial round of $2 million in venture capital from undisclosed angel investors. The company plans to use the funds to to grow its business, secure new headquarters, form key technology alliances and release a beta version of its initial application suite before the end of the year.

Out of the gate, QS Labs will be courting both technology and service partners to help deliver its solutions to the marketplace, Lindsay said. Those offerings will be delivered through both a traditional software licensing model with attached maintenance and service contracts and an on-demand hosted solution model.
