In this soundbite from RCA Radio, Erika Porcelli, CEO of Regulatory Compliance Associates® (RCA), provides examples of how different size companies leverage the stage of business they’re in to accelerate development with outsourced staff.
Start ups vs Large Companies
Using Staff augmentation to bring in SMEs gives companies the ability to scale up and scale down quickly without taking away people from other projects.
Start-ups are typically not ready to bring on a full-time employee. In cases like these, we can bring in a subject matter expert (SME) that can help work through any regulatory, compliance, or quality problem and assist on an as-needed base.
Larger companies typically need help when they are performing a project such as adding a new manufacturing line into a facility. They don’t do this all of the time and only need the extra resources for this particular project. In cases like these, we will put together a team with the right skillsets that can complete the particular project. Once completed, RCA perform a hand-off with the client, and our team steps away from the project.

All companies experience staffing support issues whether they are transient and short-lived, chronic and unplanned, or intrinsic to your business model. RCA has consultants that develop a solution to your specific needs; we can help “right-size” your team when and where you need it most.
Outsourcing has become an increasingly common practice in the life science industry. The quality assurance (QA) and regulatory affairs (RA) functions create extra complexity for large and small life science companies because needs may vary greatly depending on the life cycle of the organization. These companies turn to outsourcing to manage operations and tactical skills, and also help adopt best practices.
Successful execution comes through project monitoring, issue resolution, and risk management of the process through clear leadership. RCA’s team of experienced project management professionals organize and manage resources to ensure that projects are completed successfully, on time, and within budget.
