NEW YORK, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Intrasphere Technologies, a leading consulting firm that provides business-focused services and solutions to life sciences organizations, announced today that the company’s “PharmaCM” structured content management solution powered by Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 now offers a Submissions Management and Authoring module which will help clients create content and easily prepare for NDA submissions following eCTD standards. Users can now manage the complex process of planning, authoring, reviewing, approving and releasing content, to submission assembly of drug development information from a common portal.
“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. Intrasphere’s PharmaCM Submission Management and Authoring solution, using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, provides firms with a seamless transition and unified way to manage and maintain the entire submissions lifecycle. This solution will enable our clients to not only meet current eCTD requirements, but also lay a long-term foundation to meet the ever-changing regulations and global demands for more structured content.”
eCTD (Electronic Common Technical Document)
The eCTD standard developed by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Multidisciplinary Group 2 Expert Working Group (ICH M2 EWG), is an interface for the pharmaceutical industry to agency transfer of regulatory information. The content is based on the Common Technical Document (CTD) format.
