How ChangeM – Change Management Software by goPLIMS gives regulated teams a formal, digitally signed, and fully traceable platform to initiate, approve, and close every change — from first request to verified closure.

What is ChangeM?

ChangeM is a centralised, cloud-based change management platform that provides a consistent and systematic approach to formally managing all changes throughout the project and work management lifecycle. From initiation through evaluation, pre-approval, execution, and post-approval, ChangeM ensures every change is documented, assigned, tracked, and closed with full compliance and traceability.

Eliminating the errors, miscommunication, and uncontrolled change that plague email-based processes, ChangeM brings every stakeholder into a single governed workflow. Critically, the module is fully integrated with electronic signature and email routing for sequenced, compliant approvals — built for regulated environments where governance is non-negotiable.

Change Lifecycle — End to End

Initiation → Evaluation → Pre-Approval → Execution → Post-Approval → Close-Out

What You Can Do with ChangeM

ChangeM replaces fragmented, email-based change processes with a unified digital workflow — giving every stakeholder real-time visibility and a clear, compliant record from first request to verified closure.

Centralised Change Management

Initiate, evaluate, and formally manage every change in one platform — no scattered emails or disconnected approval chains.

Electronic Signature Workflows

Route changes through structured pre- and post-approval workflows with sequenced digital signatures and full email routing.

Compliant Digital Approvals

Collaborate with fully compliant electronic signatures — keeping every approval in a secure, auditable, and legally defensible record.

Documentation & Attachments

Attach all supporting documentation and deliverables directly to each change record — everything in one place, always accessible.

Real-Time Dashboards & Reports

Visualise change status, outstanding tasks, and due dates at a glance — giving project managers full visibility across all active changes.

Draft Until Complete

Keep incomplete change requests in Draft status until they are fully prepared and compliant — preventing premature submission into approval workflows.

Compliant Approval Workflows

ChangeM’s most powerful and distinctive feature is its built-in digital signature capability — purpose-built for regulated and compliance-driven environments, and fully aligned with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. This is what separates ChangeM from generic workflow tools.

 

21 CFR Part 11 Digital Signatures

  • Sequence and collaborate electronic signatures for pre-approvals and post-approvals — in the right order, every time
  • Automatically log all activities, approvals, and documentation for full, unbroken traceability
  • Effortlessly demonstrate compliance with industry standards and audit requirements at any moment
  • Keep incomplete change requests in Draft until they are complete and fully compliant before submission
  • Maintain a secure, unbroken audit trail from change initiation right through to verified closure

 

No more uncontrolled changes. No manual sign-off processes. No compliance gaps.

Every change is formally governed, digitally signed, and completely traceable — from first request to final close-out.
