Sitrof Safety Capture imports all adverse event (AE) source data regardless of original format-paper, digital, fax, e-fax, email (with or without attachments)-as well as voice records from call centers--into Oracle Argus and other adverse event/safety management systems.

"It has become a pharmaceutical imperative to "unlock" AE source documents for scaling global operation and managing CROs," says Bryan Reynolds, co-founder and managing partner of Sitrof. "We were able to develop a product, powered by EMC's InputAccel, that transforms unstructured AE source documentation into searchable digital records and automatically create entries in your AE system."

Sitrof Safety Capture improves your company's end-to-end pharmacovigilance program by providing a holistic view of product stewardship-from clinical trials through post-marketing surveillance, by automatically creating entries in the Argus Intake Worklist. From the Intake Worklist, users have the ability to create a case from the source documentation or reject the document.

At the Summit, industry experts will take an in-depth look into how the latest technologies are being used today to solve critical business issues within the Life Sciences industry.

The event will include a continental breakfast for all attendees followed by opening remarks and three breakout sessions.

• Electronic Trial Master File: The session will focus on leveraging intelligent capture to automate the way documents and data are captured globally in an eTMF.
• Safety Reporting: Leverage intelligent document capture to improve pharmacovigilance and integrate with leading safety systems.
• Records Management: Leveraging technology to maintain critical electronic and paper based information. See how actual retention policies and procedures combine with technology to reduce the cost and risk associated with information governance.

Sitrof migrates a company’s data, content and metadata--no matter how many repositories they have or need. And Sitrof guarantees that all migrations are performed successfully through strict validation requirements.

"Migrations are become a necessity based on the number of mergers and acquisitions taking place," said Bryan Reynolds, Managing Partner of Sitrof Technologies. "The fixed-price aspect means there are no surprises and budgets stay on track. Additionally, we are partnered with a variety of migration specialists and developed our own custom tools to make it the most efficient migration possible."

Practical expertise means Sitrof takes the risk out of system consolidation. For over a decade, Sitrof has performed complex migrations for Fortune 100 companies, successfully migrating content from a variety of sources to different target repositories in the Life Sciences and other highly regulated industries.

Fixed-Price Migration consolidates data, making the business more efficient. Additionally, Fixed-Price Migration is tailored to the client: a Sitrof Migration Analyst works through the Migration Checklist and delivers a plan. From there, it can be done on-site or off-site based on the business’ needs and cost requirements. For regulated and non-regulated environments alike, Sitrof is the trusted provider for complex content migrations.
