New ISO standards mandating the global identification of medicinal products (IDMP) at any point throughout their life cycle is resetting the compliance bar for pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers and distributors. EMA has adopted IDMP, with the FDA and PMDA expected to adopt it in the near future. Successful adoption will require the ability to standardize and govern data to IDMP compliance. A simplified process of submitting data to regulators within designated deadlines. And an ongoing master data management plan to update, govern and keep information secure. These core challenges are solved with our IDMP-specific solutions:

• Master data management (MDM). Extract, cleanse and integrate data from multiple sources. Automatically parse and match life sciences terms against controlled vocabularies. And transform enriched data to comply with IDMP standards– all from a single platform with secure audit trails in place.
• IDMP accelerator logic. Accelerate your time to achieve IDMP compliance while reducing resources. A custom IP embedded into our data management solution will quickly address IDMP challenges.
• Text analytics for unstructured data. Go beyond analyzing your legacy text. Extract relevant information from all your unstructured sources such as word documents, web pages, emails, journals, videos and resentations.
