About PLA 3.0
PLA 3.0 is a commercial off-the-shelf software for biostatistical analysis in Research and Development (R&D) and regulated environments. It provides a range of features you can use during the design and implementation of analytical methods and also supports you in achieving regulatory compliance.
Extensibility
The extensibility feature of PLA 3.0 lets you enhance the core system, known as framework, by adding specialized modules, known as add-ons, which introduce new analytical methods and tools. This modular approach enables you to meet specific needs without altering the main software.

Extensibility

The extensibility feature of PLA 3.0 lets you enhance the core system, known as framework, by adding specialized modules, known as add-ons, which introduce new analytical methods and tools. This modular approach enables you to meet specific needs without altering the main software.

The PLA 3.0 framework is responsible for the integrity and reliability of measurement data. It provides the features you need to achieve regulatory compliance such as access control, data integrity, security, validation, and traceability.

PLA 3.0 add-ons extend the functionality of the PLA 3.0 framework to include the analytical methods your users require and enable them to visualize, document, and report results.
