Natural Alternatives International Selects MetricStream for Compliance and Quality Management

Solution to automate key business processes for FDA cGMP regulations and guidelines
June 20, 2007 | Redwood Shores, Calif. - MetricStream, Inc., the market leader in enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) and Quality Management solutions, today announced that Natural Alternatives International, Inc. (NAI) (NASDAQ: NAII) has selected
the MetricStream solution to automate its cGMP compliance systems.

NAI will deploy the MetricStream solution in the management of its product inspection processes, and the development and execution of corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plans. Automation of these key business processes on an integrated compliance platform could enable NAI to improve operational efficiencies, lower the cost of regulatory compliance and create a transparent environment for proactively identifying, tracking and resolving quality issues to the extent they may arise. The system will be compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and information systems.

“We believe the MetricStream solution will support our efforts to provide our customers with high quality nutritional supplements through the maintenance of manufacturing standards complying with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs),” said Randy Weaver, President of NAI. “MetricStream's flexible reporting capabilities, its ability to support other compliance initiatives with the same platform and its cost-of-ownership were key reasons in our selection of MetricStream."

"We are very excited that NAI has selected MetricStream to automate their cGMP compliance systems," said Shellye Archambeau, CEO of MetricStream. "MetricStream solutions address a growing range of compliance issues that affect businesses by delivering applications based on industry standards and best practices. We are pleased to add NAI to our growing portfolio of customers in the FDA-regulated environment”.
