Sitrof was glad to hear that DDMAC submissions will be accepted in eCTD format by the FDA by 2012. Our product, Approve-PTS will be enhanced to support this. Approve-PTS, built on Microsoft SharePoint 2010, connects outside creative agencies, marketing teams and regulatory reviewer--allowing marketing materials to get reviewed, approved and published in the most efficient manner possible.

Speaking of Microsoft, we saw their huge display booth along with NextDocs and Liquent – their offerings look good and traffic was high at all three booths. We imagine booth traffic was higher for these vendors since both EMC (IIG) and CSC were not in attendance.

As expected, a lot of sessions and vendors were talking about the cloud. In the content management space, companies like Box and SpringCM are gaining traction but it’s clear the life sciences industry is not ready to put their GxP related documentation in the cloud without it first being validated. Vevva Systems is looking to change that with their Vault solution which is a cloud enabled content management solution built from the ground up with the Life Sciences industry in mind. It will be interesting to see how this solution can compete with traditional on-premise solutions like Documentum and SharePoint

Please come visit Sitrof at DIA EDM in booth #205 to see how Approve-PTS can work for you.

Approve-PTS, built on Microsoft SharePoint 2010, connects outside creative agencies, marketing teams and regulatory reviewer--allowing marketing materials to get reviewed, approved and published in the most efficient manner possible. Jobs are routed via built-in workflows with annotations and version control to retain full audit trail.

“We developed Approve-PTS for a pharmaceutical company to reduce the time needed to circulate, review and approve promotional materials and maintain compliance,” says Bryan Reynolds, co-founder and managing partner of Sitrof. “There is a tremendous need for this product and building it on SharePoint 2010 has been key to quickly launching solutions in a timely fashion.”

Approve-PTS reduces previously untrackable delays and logjams. Reviewers are notified via email that a job is waiting their review. Digital signatures with automatic date and time stamp ensure 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. In addition, advanced reporting tools allow marketing communication specialists and administrators to collect thorough metrics to resolve delays and improve the process.

"Aptly named DocExchange, the solution enables users to securely share large amounts of information across firewalls."  We are thrilled that they get it!!  They continue with...

Complete Privacy and Security

"Sitrof has taken this technology and laced in its own regulated data protection and interface with Microsoft SharePoint for the DocExchange tool."
-- Chelsi Nakano, CMS Wire

Content Circles has really blossomed since we first noted their server-free collaboration tool in January of last year. Designed to help distributed teams work collaboratively and securely, their platform connects people regardless of their location, allowing them to pass encrypted blocks of content back and forth from desktop to desktop. Though there is a central, Internet-accessible Content Circles server maintained by the company, it's only used to provide directory, policy, auditing and related services.

Sitrof has taken this technology and laced in its own regulated data protection and interface with Microsoft SharePoint for the DocExchange tool. This allows collaboration across firewalls and the tracking of content, which again, is never stored anywhere other than member computers. This also means that space isn't a problem, as there are no file-size limits.
