eCTDmanager Suite
Comprehensive submission management solution
EXTEDO’s eCTDmanager is an off-the-shelf electronic submission management solution that satisfies your requirements for eCTD and non-eCTD submissions, whether electronic or paper.
eCTDmanager enables you to build, view, validate and publish compliant submissions based on CTD, eCTD, NeeS, IMPD, CTA, eNTA, VNeeS and other submission structures easily. With its powerful hyperlinking and bookmarking engine, it helps you to handle the detection, notification and correction of broken hyperlinks resulting in the creation of high-quality submissions. An integrated validation function ensures compliance of the submissions to ICH and regional specifications.
Simplify lifecycle management of pharmaceutical submissions
EXTEDO's eCTDmanager, including its available modules, simplify all areas related to the lifecycle management of pharmaceutical submissions. Once an eCTD-based dossier has been approved by the agency, its post-approval maintenance lifecycle starts. eCTDmanager provides you with unique visual and contextual aids to ensure rapid response and accuracy.
Easy to use
Even without the knowledge of XML technology, you can easily build and review submissions, add, edit and delete elements or even set hyperlinks and comments at any time during the submission compilation. Documents can easily be scanned, copied, moved or imported from the file-system and from most Document Management Systems (DMS).
eCTDmanager includes a sophisticated replication mechanism that provides globally distributed workgroup users with simultaneous access to a submission. Especially for global acting companies with subsidiaries in other countries, this functionality is a tremendous benefit. In combination with DOCmanager, which allows the creation and maintenance of many child dossiers based on one parent dossier, the solution will be even more effective. eCTDmanager can be easily integrated into document management systems such as:
- Ainea™
- CSC FirstDoc™, CSC FirstPoint™
- EMC Documentum™
- IBM SCORE™
- MasterControl™
- Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and 2010™
- NextDocs™
- OpenText™
- Optimal Systems™
- QUMAS DocCompliance™
- others
