0-RPO for Mission Critical Data
In the event of a system failure, there is a risk of significant data loss for companies when proper safeguards are not in place. For those operating in GxP environments, operations data including electronic records are mission-critical and any data loss can be extremely costly. The shorter the time between data recovery points and the more quickly the systems are recovered, the less data is at risk of being lost.
As a way to reduce the risk of data loss, GxP-regulated companies have resorted to expensive solutions including reducing the times between recovery points (more frequent backups) to seconds and storing duplicates of electronic records in two different physical locations. Traditional solutions have offered shorter times through very expensive means, often passing the bulk of those costs to their customers.
With Tulip’s approach, you can accomplish this without the cost of adding software or hardware layers to supplement the architecture.
Leveraging its multi-tenant cloud architecture, Tulip has developed a unique way of achieving minimal data loss and rapid recovery. Duplicate databases in multiple availability zones and incremental backups speed up the restoration of operations and make point-in-time recovery possible.
This feature is available to Tulip Enterprise Customers using the GxP package and is compatible with Tulip Public Cloud and Tulip Customer Cloud. Zero RPO is a last line of defense, adding to a robust security offering for Tulip customers.
Display Device Management
For Tulip customers with dozens to hundreds of tablets, computers, headsets all with Tulip Player, the new Display Devices page menu makes it easy to create and manage display devices in your operation.

Restrict Controls for Operators
With the new Display Device Management page, you can also assign apps to specific groups of stations. This allows Tulip administrators to control which devices display which apps, preventing operators from using the incorrect app or version of an app.
Learn more about Station Group App Assignments.
You can now disable auto-updates on Tulip Player to prevent potential disruptions or messages that may be confusing for operators. Tulip customers interested should inquire with their customer success manager.
New GxP Apps
The Tulip Library includes new apps for life sciences and compliance use cases.
Security Incident Management
The Security Incident Management app can be used to track and manage security incidents, such as 2FA authentication issues, and data breaches, and their progress through an investigation.
Digital Systems Access Management
The Digital Systems Access Management app allows users to submit requests to gain access to a particular digital system in your operation.
Weigh and Dispense
The Weigh and Dispense app is a pre-configured application for guided operators through weighing and dispensing procedures. The app can be expanded to integrate with ERP systems and IIoT to automate procedures for operators, and print container labels, while keeping a full audit trail of dispensed materials.
