Case Study: Grifols achieves faster development and significant cost savings with Jama Software's Jama Connect

Healthcare Leader Grifols Uses Jama Connect to Cut Costs and Speed Development

Grifols, a Barcelona-founded global healthcare company with over 21,000 employees, needed to improve requirements, risk and test management for a Diagnostic division project that spanned teams in Spain and the U.S. The team relied on a legacy tool and manual Excel-based risk processes to meet ISO 14971 obligations, resulting in slow, fragmented reviews (requirements reviews took about two months and risk assessments required multiple meetings) and performance issues for distributed collaborators.

Grifols adopted Jama Connect with help from Jama’s Professional Services, starting in a sandbox and then using a medical-device template. Jama’s Review Center and traceability features let the team link requirements to risks and tests, speed approvals, and maintain an audit trail. The change cut review cycles from three months to under 30 days, saved roughly 80+ hours per project, reduced rework and budget overruns, and improved collaboration across time zones.
