MasterControl Inc., a global provider of GxP process and document management software solutions for life science companies, and Datafarm Inc., a world leading provider of high performance electronic regulatory submission solutions for the life sciences industry, announced on 22 June 2009 the launch of GxP2eCTD at the Drug Information Association (DIA) 45th Annual Meeting.

GxP2eCTD allows users to readily locate, work with, and add documents directly from MasterControl’s secure document repository to the eCTD submission in Datafarm’s S-Cubed solution while maintaining the full integrity and compliance of submissions. The seamless integration of MasterControl with the proven S-Cubed eCTD solution, provides a secure repository for the submissions document before, during and after submission publishing. Furthermore, the MasterControl Submissions Locker™ can provide control of the submission after publication within MasterControl just as the source documents used in the submission.

Michael Bothe, vice president of Business Development at MasterControl, said, “It is exciting to have the ability to offer joint customers of MasterControl and Datafarm a seamless offering. We have tailored GxP2eCTD to meet the needs of small to mid-sized life sciences companies that want to simultaneously implement a complete document management and eSubmissions solution.”

MasterControl’s electronic document management and control solutions and Datafarm’s eSubmissions software both have proven track records of maintaining integrity in electronic submission processes. By integrating the two powerful solutions, users can connect to MasterControl from Datafarm’s S-Cubed eCTD without compromising the security or reliability of submissions documents. Using Datafarm’s S-Cubed eCTD submission templates and the MasterControl collaboration tool, users are able to create submission-ready documents from the beginning of the process while also ensuring that submissions documents are controlled, tracked, and stored in a secure electronic platform.

“Life sciences companies can take advantage of leading and proven technology at an excellent price point suited for smaller companies,” said George Waidell, vice president of Product Strategy at Datafarm. “We are looking forward to showing off the solution at the DIA Annual Meeting.”
