San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 11, 2010
ARX (Algorithmic Research), a leading provider of digital signature (http://www. arx. com/digital-signature-cosign) solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with Montrium, a consulting group that delivers validation services for organizations within the Life Sciences industry.
Montrium has developed both custom and pre-defined validation packages that can be delivered for ARX's CoSign digital signature installations both as a stand-alone solution and when integrated with other systems, such as Microsoft® SharePoint®. These tried and tested validation packages match the various document types and workflows used by Life Science organizations including clinical research organizations (CROs) and biopharma companies, and enable these organizations to quickly and easily validate CoSign to meet 21 CFR Part 11 and other regulatory requirements.
"Organizations in the Life Sciences industry are being urged to shift to electronic processes, especially in regard to submissions to regulatory authorities," explains Paul Fenton, VP Pharmaceutical Processes and Technology, Montrium. "This is why it's beneficial for these organizations to adopt digital signatures, and why so many of them already have."
CoSign digital signature use in Life Sciences (http://www. arx. com/industries/digital-signature-for-life-sciences) extends across departments and applications, from Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and investigator portals to electronic submissions and secure document exchange with external parties and partners. As such, CoSign is the most widely deployed digital signature solution in the Life Sciences industry, and is used by 1/3 of the 25 largest Pharmaceutical companies and six of the top 10 CROs in thousands of FDA GxP regulated applications.
"By teaming up with Montrium, ARX customers are able to qualify CoSign using proven validation scripts without having to create them from scratch in-house," said Rodd Schlerf, FDA and USDA Markets Manager, ARX.
