Sparta Systems is a leading provider of enterprise quality management software (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spartasystems.com\/qms\/\">QMS<\/a>), including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spartasystems.com\/technology-platform\/\">a next-generation SaaS platform<\/a>, for the life sciences industry. The acquisition further strengthens Honeywell\u2019s leadership in industrial automation, digital transformation solutions and enterprise performance management software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honeywell will leverage its global presence, Honeywell Forge and Sparta\u2019s expertise to introduce new, integrated solutions, including QMS offerings, for life sciences and adjacent industries. Honeywell\u2019s customers will benefit from advanced digital QMS solutions to help them proactively achieve better quality, which results in improved new therapies, faster time to market, better business and patient outcomes, and effective regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSparta\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spartasystems.com\/trackwise-digital\/\">TrackWise Digital\u00ae<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spartasystems.com\/qualitywise-ai\/\">QualityWise.ai\u2120<\/a> are a welcome addition to Honeywell\u2019s enterprise performance management software, Honeywell Forge, and will further enhance the link between quality and production data for life sciences manufacturers,\u201d said Que Dallara, president and chief executive officer of Honeywell Connected Enterprise. \u201cOur combined offerings will make it easier for customers to gain critical insights from manufacturing and quality data that can improve their manufacturing processes while ensuring product quality, patient safety, and supply chain continuity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honeywell has provided the world\u2019s leading drug manufacturers and biomedical firms with consistently innovative advancements in automation technologies, systems and services for more than 30 years. Honeywell\u2019s portfolio includes advanced automation and process controls for consistency and oversight of both continuous and batch processing; data capture and recording solutions that simplify and safeguard compliance; and technologies that help maintain auditability, optimize production, and speed time to market while ensuring quality and repeatability. Honeywell\u2019s Fast Track Automation helps life science manufacturers expedite development and production of vital vaccines and medical therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSparta Systems is an ideal complement to our life sciences portfolio,\u201d said Rajeev Gautam, president and chief executive officer of Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies. \u201cWhile Sparta\u2019s capabilities will initially help us expand our capabilities for our existing breakthrough initiative in life sciences, we plan to leverage Honeywell\u2019s global footprint and expertise to quickly expand Sparta\u2019s capabilities to serve other markets. We have strong conviction in the growth opportunities in the life sciences and pharmaceuticals space and in the synergies between Sparta and Honeywell both for Honeywell Connected Enterprise and Honeywell Forge as well as for Honeywell Process Solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spartasystems.com\/about-us\/\">Sparta Systems<\/a> is headquartered in Hamilton, N.J., and has approximately 250 employees globally.

Honeywell will also add new IoT-enabled connectivity between quality and operational data to detect manufacturing anomalies and triage quality events in near real time. These continuing innovations will help customers proactively address quality to improve patient safety and effective regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete Masucci, managing director of New Mountain Capital, said, \u201cSince we partnered with Sparta in 2017, the company launched its TrackWise Digital platform \u2013 the only AI-enabled QMS solution, expanded its SaaS customer base by two-and-a-half times, and significantly invested in product development and R&amp;D. We are excited to watch Sparta continue to thrive within the Honeywell organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2021 and is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
