manage the document production process- better, faster, easier
Pharmaceutical, biotech and other Life Science organizations operate in an
extremely document-intensive, highly regulated environment. PleaseTech solutions
support this critical process of producing compliant, quality documents within
tight deadlines.
Bringing products to market is a huge endeavor, so implementing efficiency
improvements is essential. To collaboratively create, edit and review the
various complex documents generated for clinical trials, quality assurance and regulatory submissions,
which often require contribution from various functional area authors and
subject matter experts both internal and external to an organization, requires
specialist technology capabilities.
controlled collaboration
Whether working with a few individuals or large geographically diverse teams,
PleaseReview makes the review and co-authoring
process less painful and more efficient by ensuring neither document quality nor
review deadlines are compromised:
|
Secure, simultaneous access to the same copy of the document (online or offline;
in the office or remote; PC or tablet) |
|
improving team collaboration, enhancing transparency and reducing review cycles |
|
Specialist review functionality, including automated
consolidation of proposed changes and comments |
|
preventing the need for manual rework and reformatting of the document
|
|
Control over who can do what to where |
|
the document can be marked up and not messed up |
|
Full review management including user roles, automated email notifications and
review deadlines |
|
bringing control to the process
|
Comprehensive reporting and metrics
|
|
resulting in shorter review meetings and accountability on all activity on the
review |
maintaining compliance
The structured authoring and content reuse capabilities of
PleaseCompose ensure
that when creating new Microsoft Word documents, corporate standards and rules
are maintained, and previously approved content can be reused across multiple
documents. By avoiding the duplication of content across documents, significant
time savings can also be realized. Control is further enhanced by its reporting
capabilities which can facilitate impact analysis by identifing where specific
content components have been used.

The fundamental benefits are time and cost savings for those who create and review documents.
The ability to create, review and publish documents more quickly can provide a number of less tangible benefits,
such as faster delivery of proposals, an enhanced ability to comply with specific legal requirements,
better version control, and less reliance on emailing documents to collaborators.”

We chose to have a hosted solution as it meant we didn’t need to worry about supporting the PleaseReview system ourselves.
In the four years since making that decision, we haven’t experienced any issues - in fact it has been remarkably stable,
with no associated downtime whatsoever.”

CANDU Owners Group is still in a trial roll out phase of PleaseReview, but from my
point of view this product greatly reduces the effort required to administer multi
phase reviews. Feedback from reviewers has been that PleaseReview is easy to use
and that the ability to thread comments adds to the quality of the review.”
John Skears, Program Manager - CANDU Owners Group | nuclear
-
PleaseReview offers a number of useful features, such as confidential review, and the ability to
limit particular users’ edits to specific 'zones' within a document. Because the review process tracks changes
in a database and not in the native document application, an independent audit trail can be established
for all changes to a document. This is particularly important in compliance-focused environments.”
Michael Osterman, Founder - Osterman Research | market research & analysis

With PleaseReview, all comments are made on a single draft of the document,
and as every reviewer can see comments from other reviewers there are no duplications -
if they disagree, they can indicate that within the comments.
It's all so much more civilized and everyone gets to really collaborate on the review.”
Peggy Berry, Vice President and Head of Quality & Regulatory Affairs -
Amarin Corporation| life sciences
-
Knowing that everyone is commenting on the same draft and having commenters see others'
comments was very helpful. That way everyone knows how the document is shaping up.”
