Thank you for helping make 2020 another exciting and record-breaking year for Greenlight Guru!
We had so many things to celebrate over this past year... Let’s take a quick look back at some of our biggest accomplishments from 2020:
We released significant enhancements to Greenlight Guru's QMS software by rolling out a new dedicated Training Management workspace, launching Quality Event Automation which enables high efficiency and consistency across quality processes , and announcing our machine-learning and natural language processing powered technology Visualize that redefines the way manufacturers approach closed-loop traceability.
While our 2021 True Quality Roadshow event was unfortunately cut short due to COVID-19, we were still able to make a far-reaching impact on medical device communities around the world. We hosted our first virtual industry 3-day conference with the True Quality Virtual Summit event which amassed over 5,000 registrants, each of whom gained valuable insights and teachings from presentations by the industry’s leading experts.
Speaking of industry experts, Greenlight Guru's partner channel had a lot to celebrate over the year. We announced a strategic alliance with EMERGO by UL, a global leader in medical device regulatory compliance, as well as solidified additional new partnerships with other top consulting firms to provide companies with an even larger network of trusted industry advisors.
We also conducted our second annual industry benchmark survey and published the revealing insights from our findings in our 2021 State of Medical Device Product Development and Quality management report. You can view and download the full report here at no cost.
From a business standpoint, Greenlight Guru has experienced the highest rate of growth and success in company history. We are celebrating two consecutive years as a G2 market leader in the quality management software category. Our team has grown by more than 50% and we're continuing to add new remote positions on an ongoing basis. Check out the current job openings to see if you or someone you know would be a good fit to join our team.
One of the ways we like to give back to the medical device community is through our free medical device content. The resources we publish are geared around sharing new and innovative ways to deliver safe, effective, True Quality devices to patients. But that's only one part of the equation—it's your company and your device that makes it all come to fruition, so we can meet one shared goal: improving the quality of life.
On behalf of the entire Greenlight Guru team, we want to say thank you for your ongoing contributions to that mission and for your loyal support and readership. We look forward to continuing to share more valuable content with you in 2021 and beyond.
We hope you enjoy this annual list of our most popular content from 2020. Let us know which content was your favorite from 2020 in the comments section or by sending us a note!
