OCTAGON RESEARCH INTRODUCES ENHANCED PUBLISHING FUNCTIONALITY FOR VIEWPOINT™
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA - May 13, 2004 - Octagon Research Solutions, the leader in the electronic transformation of clinical R&D, announced today plans to add publishing functionality to ViewPoint, Octagon’s premier submission process management solution.
“The motivation behind the planned publishing functionality actually came from current clients”, recalled Jim Walker, president and CEO of Octagon Research Solutions Inc. “Our clients have been struggling with various technologies as part of their transition strategies toward support of eCTD. Everybody is complaining about tools that were designed for old problems. We believe that our extensive experience with electronic submissions and current industry tools combined with our ongoing eCTD related activities give us a unique perspective on the evolving requirements for submission management coupled with publishing. ”
ViewPoint currently manages the entire submission development process by offering unobtrusive metrics collection, real-time process visibility and integrated resource estimation. The added functionality will expand the use of ViewPoint to support specific publishing requirements of the life sciences industry, including rendering, bookmark and link management and automated quality control.
Kirk Gallion, CTO of Octagon Research Solutions Inc. commented, “Electronic submission publishing is rapidly changing. We believe that the combination of publishing plus submission management equates to full eCTD capabilities. With this in mind, we are extending ViewPoint’s functionality to address an emerging business problem with an innovative solution. We are excited to bring these product enhancements to the market.”
According to Gallion, a preview version of the publishing module will be available for demonstration at the Drug Information Association Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. on June 13-17, 2004.
