Leading Global Healthcare Company Selects Kneat's eValidation Platform

 Global SaaS agreement win positions Kneat across multiple divisions

LIMERICK, Ireland, Feb. 23, 2023 /CNW/ - kneat.com, inc. (TSX: KSI) (OTC: KSIOF) ("Kneat" or "the Company"), a leader in digitizing and automating validation and quality processes, is pleased to announce it has signed a three-year Master Services Agreement ("the Agreement") with a global healthcare leader whose product portfolio spans multiple therapeutic divisions from medical devices through to pharmaceuticals.  The Agreement is effective immediately and allows the company to scale Kneat to all validation processes across all these business divisions.

Kneat was selected after extensive evaluations of market options for both computer systems validation and equipment validation. Of the three business divisions that will initially be deploying Kneat Gx, one is replacing a paper-intensive process while the others are upgrading their current approach from hybrid to fully digital. 

The Agreement positions Kneat well for later expansion within the company, which has over 100,000 employees and more than 80 manufacturing sites worldwide.  Implementation will commence in Q1 2023, with an initial go-live date in Q2 2023.

Eddie Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Kneat, commented, "This is another strategic win for Kneat:  a global powerhouse with diverse operations.  Partnering early with such innovators is helping us lead the much-needed digital transformation for validation within life sciences.  It's gratifying to contribute to the quality processes at the very center of health and wellness by making them faster, smarter and more efficient."
