Pharmaceutical

The heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry also has stringent Information Technology requirements. The process of introducing a new drug is spread out over years and spans multiple departments within a company. Detailed audit trails are required on the creation and modification of various documents, time-stamped to ensure trustworthiness and reliability. This means that document management must be enterprise-wide, so deliverables from all users can be easily accessed and collated by the project managers, reducing the time needed to prepare for validation.
