Why DCC?

Seasoned practitioners
who deliver the work

When you engage DCC, the practitioner who scopes the work is the one who delivers it. Our team brings direct, hands-on experience: managing GxP infrastructure in cleanroom environments, validating LIMS and QMS systems under 21 CFR Part 11, and shaping IT roadmaps for GxP facilities end to end. Not as oversight — as the people doing the work.

We build systems that pass audits, then transfer the capability to run them. After an engagement, your team owns the competency — not a dependency on us.

Capabilities

What we deliver

Six core capabilities, each grounded in hands-on delivery experience across GMP facilities, industrial control environments, and regulated manufacturing.

Regulated application development

Production-grade applications for GMP environments — from environmental monitoring dashboards to quality management workflows. Built on scalable architectures that satisfy both IT governance and validation requirements.

Product developmentAgentic engineeringAutomated testing

Compliance architecture

Designing compliance into digital infrastructure from the ground up. We map regulatory requirements to technical controls so your systems are audit-ready before the auditor arrives — not as an afterthought.

21 CFR 11GAMP 5ISO 27001IEC 62443

GxP infrastructure management

Running the IT and OT infrastructure that underpins regulated production — qualified networks, validated server estates, identity controls, and the host platforms beneath your EMS, BMS, LIMS, and QMS. We manage change control, qualification status, and periodic review so systems stay audit-ready and uptime stays high.

Capability transfer

Your team runs the systems after we leave. We embed with your people, co-develop solutions, and conduct structured knowledge transfer — so the transformation is owned internally, not dependent on consultants.

Co-creationTrainingChange Mgmt

IT roadmapping for regulated sites

Technology roadmaps that account for validation timelines, GMP change control, and phased deployment in live production environments. From maturity assessment through execution planning.

System integration

Connecting EMS, BMS, LIMS, QMS, and ERP into a single digital platform. We handle data extraction, environmental monitoring integration, and quality management system connections for regulated manufacturing.

Our Approach

How we deliver transformation

A repeatable three-step engagement: scope the regulatory landscape, build embedded with your team, then transfer ownership.

01

Assess & Scope

We start by understanding your regulatory landscape, existing systems, and organisational constraints. No generic frameworks — we map your specific compliance obligations to technical requirements before proposing anything.

02

Build & Validate

Our consultants work embedded in your teams, building solutions that meet both business needs and validation requirements. Every deliverable is designed to pass audit from day one — because retrofitting compliance is always more expensive.

03

Transfer & Maintain

We document, train, hand over and/or maintain. Your team should be able to work, extend, and govern the systems we built. A successful engagement ends with DCC being unnecessary or in a role your organisation feels comfortable with.

NextCell NextCell

Train on the systems
you'll use, before you use them

NextCell is a fully operational digital twin of an ATMP manufacturing facility — every room, every piece of equipment, every workflow. Life-sciences teams use it to practise real GMP processes (batch records, environmental monitoring, deviation handling, equipment qualification) on the same systems they'll run in production.

Built around a unified Q/LIMS environment, powered with our partner Simploud · Hosted in Leiden, NL

The Team

The people who do the work

Every DCC consultant is a senior practitioner with direct experience in regulated environments. No account managers, no junior staffing — the team you meet is the team that delivers.
