A document only needs to be created once—without replication or duplication of information.

  • Global collaboration. By using content management workflow and version control capabilities to virtually assemble documents for different regulatory agencies in different countries, it becomes possible to speed time-to-market and quickly identify any potential geographic differences in a medication's public perception.
