FRANKFURT, Germany and AMERSHAM, England and SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Generis, Phlexglobal and LORENZ Life Sciences Group, announce the founding of the Alliance of Experts, a new source for end-to-end Regulatory Information Management (RIM) and Clinical solutions in Life Sciences. The Alliance of Experts brings the expertise of each company together to provide seamless interoperability between their software packages, providing customers a ‘single source of truth’ for all data that can be used and applied in multiple solutions.
Prior to the founding of the Alliance of Experts, life science customers either employed a range of specialized tools from several different domain specialists to meet RIM requirements which may not work together or purchased a single solution RIM enterprise tool that provided limited depth of expertise in the rapidly changing life science market. The Alliance of Experts offers the best of both worlds by providing expert, established applications and guaranteeing the integrations between them with a single Alliance support service. This approach removes the burden of maintenance and risk from our customers, while ensuring zero compromise on functionality.
A prime example of an effective RIM solution provided by the Alliance of Experts is the Submission Archiving function. Leveraging the integration between LORENZ docuBridge and Generis’ CARA, Submission Archiving pushes an archive copy of the published submission into CARA for long term storage, while creating an application sequence in docuBridge that includes leaf nodes pointing to the relevant files in CARA. Archived submissions can be accessed from CARA or from docuBridge with equal ease, giving customers exactly the same view of the submission that the agency has, along with links to the source files of their published equivalents.
“The whole point of the Alliance of Experts is efficiency,” says James Kelleher, CEO at Generis, “and this means that customers benefit directly from having a single source of regulatory data that can feed many different processes. This means that the sheer number of sources of error are greatly reduced.”
Karen Roy, Chief Strategy Officer from Phlexglobal echoes the sentiment: “Combining our Clinical expertise with the Alliance’s Regulatory Affairs expertise really creates a whole new user experience. Customers can assemble their own perfect solution from a range of different partial ones.”
“The Alliance of Experts combines the advantages of a single RIM vendor and at the same time overcomes the limitations of a single RIM vendor,” says Raoul Lorenz, CEO of LORENZ Life Sciences Group, “Through ‘automated integration’ we are taking the headache out of system integration, and are able to offer more variety and much deeper functionality. This is a marked step forward from both the classic approaches as well as the rigid platforms that have tried to replace them.”
