Good Products Showcases New Electronic Document Management Solution (eDMS) At DIA's 20th Annual EuroMeeting
Good Products, a leading provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries recently announced that it has launched g-docs Electronic Document Management Solution (eDMS). This unique new solution is designed to help life sciences organizations cope with increasingly complex regulations and growing amounts of information. g-docs will be showcased exclusively on stand #020 at the 20th DIA Annual EuroMeeting, March 3-5, 2008, Barcelona, Spain.
g-docs from Good Products offers life sciences organizations a regulatory compliant, effective, easy-to-use way of tracking document version history, manage approvals, monitor and record changes in an audit log. Additionally, g-docs incorporates CoSign, a digital signature solution that allows an individual to digitally sign a document as if they were using ink. CoSign digital signatures have now been upheld in the US court, and are deemed to pass the 'non- repudiation' test as well as being compliant with the FDA's 21 CFR part 11 Guidance. CoSign can also be easily integrated into g-docs and indeed any digital format that can be printed can be 'signed' using CoSign. The full pharmaceutical document lifecycle is controlled within g-docs, using a simple browser interface but with full audit trail of user logon and changes to any documents.
eDMS is already used by large pharmaceutical organizations, however the software purchase price added to configuration, validation and implementation costs are prohibitive for small to mid-size companies. g-docs from Good Products is built on the commonly used Microsoft SharePoint platform and MOSS 2007. By using an existing platform and configuring tools and modules specifically for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets, Good Products reduces the amount of original software development required, resulting in a more cost-effective and regulatory compliant product.
Additionally, the product requires less validation as the core modules are validated as they are built and stored in our secure repository and integration testing is done to the specific customer's requirements. This also means that the customer benefits from having g-docs match their regulatory and QA document processes not ours.
Good Products has already built corrective and preventative action (CAPA) and deviation management modules, and is in the process of building Validation Document management and regulatory risk management modules to add to the standard g-docs platform. Product training is minimal as many users are already familiar with Microsoft already and once g-docs is implemented, department heads have the ability to configure future libraries, templates and workflows. Administrators can also manage document retrieval, site construction, and document retirement using the tools we have configured for them. Thus g-docs can grow as the business grows over the years without becoming obsolete.
