Munich, 21 August 2020 – EXTEDO, a leading provider of Regulatory Information Management solutions, and Wrike, a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise collaborative project management software, today announced the release of a new planning and tracking solution to help facilitate a solution for the COVID-19 virus.

Wrike is an all-in-one collaborative work management solution that allows its users to manage workflows securely at scale, turn strategies into actionable plans and drive operational excellence.

Benefiting from the years of experience with hundreds of Wrike clients, EXTEDO adapted the proven collaborative project management solution to the requirements of pharmaceutical companies and the life sciences industry and integrated it with the EXTEDO RIM platform. This allows users to benefit from the project management solution experience of Wrike, along with over 20 years of EXTEDO’s experience within the pharmaceutical industry.

“With the current global COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to provide life sciences organizations with a solution that allows them to bring their products to market faster and safer while being able to keep track of necessary changes globally,” said Martin Schmid, CEO at EXTEDO. “We are glad that with Wrike, we were able to find the right partner to drive operational excellence and ensure effortless compliance in the life sciences industry.”

Wrike for life sciences is seamlessly integrated with EXTEDO’s regulatory information management solution and allows users to plan and track activities related to submissions, drug safety, and product registration. Wrike is already used by the marketing departments of numerous pharmaceutical organizations for their promotional material, which is then later compiled by EXTEDO’s eCTDmanager.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting and impacting every business across the globe,” said Aharon Weiner, VP of Business Development at Wrike. “Since the onset of COVID-19, we have seen an increasing demand for a regulatory solution based on our technology. With EXTEDO’s experts on hand, the joint solution combines the best of both worlds.”
