Key features of the PharmaCM eCTD module are:
Structured Content Authoring and Collaboration:
o Structured content management tools that enable users to easily create and re-use content across various documents covering all five eCTD submission modules. Creation of structured content templates following industry standards including ICH, CDISC, and HL7.
o Easy to use meta-data management tools which not only allow users to track information about the document, but also allow meta-data to embed directly in the document, enabling re-usable text elements.
o Collaboration environments that integrate seamlessly with the users’ working environment. Creation of review and approval workflows, enabling document discussions, and real-time document collaboration to improve the content preparation life-cycle.
Submissions Management:
o Submission planning for both regional and global submissions. Enabling content re-use across regions, tracking content creation, target dates and approvals for release to submissions assemblies.
o Configurable portal views and reports to generate both management and operational level metrics to make improved management decisions leading to more efficient submission projects.
o Integrated submissions issue tracking tool to quickly resolve content preparation issues within any node of the eCTD modules.
“We anticipate that submission content will continue to move toward a structured format, either within the eCTD standard or a future submission standard like RPS,” said Woo Song, Co-Founder & Chairman, Intrasphere Technologies. “We have been working with XML and structured content for many years and it’s always been a challenge to get users to become comfortable working in that environment. By building a Microsoft Office Business Application, we can now remove the complexities of XML authoring and tagging which will enable our clients to focus on efficient creation and management of submissions content, without having to learn new authoring and content management tools.”
"Being able to submit documents in accordance with the FDA’s rules is an obvious business-critical issue for any pharmaceutical company," said Michael Naimoli, U.S. life sciences industry solutions director, Microsoft Corp. “Companies are facing major transitions in their underlying business processes due to the new approach for eCTD.
