- Databases
  Current regulations, such as 21 CFR 11.10 in the pharmaceutical industry, require you to ensure that only authorized individuals can access your systems, perform operations, and sign records. The database-driven approach of PLA 3.0 enables you to take major steps toward meeting these requirements.
- Extensibility with add-ons
  PLA 3.0 consists of a framework and add-ons. The PLA 3.0 framework handles data as electronic documents. It provides the features you need to achieve regulatory compliance such as access control, data integrity, security, validation, and traceability.
- Rights and permissions
  PLA 3.0 provides the features you need to control access to your data in a sophisticated and compliant manner. It combines role-based user rights with resource-based permissions, which enables you to exercise fine-grained control over who can perform particular tasks in a given context and which tasks are allowed with particular data.
