Step by step through DigiLab

We have already accomplished the first steps on the way to digitized regulatory affairs workflows for you: We defined basic requirements for RA software, prepared a market analysis of available solutions, and procured demo versions of qualified RA software. The result: a pool of appropriate software from which you can select the most suitable tools.

What is missing now is the specific adaptation to the needs of your company.


For this purpose, we have defined a process that takes you to your ultimate goal in three steps: from identifying your individual requirements, through the testing and selection process, to implementation. As a neutral partner, we mediate between you and the respective software providers, bridge the knowledge gaps and support both sides in the successful implementation of digitized workflows for RA processes.

1

Requirements and test data

A selection of qualified software is available - but what are your specific requirements? To answer this question, we first analyze the processes in your company.

Test in the DigiLab and selection

The core of our service: In the real digitization lab, we guide you through a guided selection process. Under realistic conditions, we mutually test the configuration of the software, develop workflows and perform processes.

1

Requirements and test data

On this basis, we work with you to define the individual requirements for your future RA software. Finally, we create test data from your original data sets in order to set the actual processes in your company as faithfully as possible in the further selection process. You are then ready for the next step.

Our services in the first process step:

  • Analysis of your company-specific processes
  • Origin of individual requirements
  • Creation of test data from your original data closing

Test in the DigiLab and selection

For this purpose, all stakeholders come together in the lab - RA department, IT department, employees of different country groups – and by assigning a computer workstation. Based on our analysis of your specific company processes and using your data, you test the configurations of the software for your respective roles.

The conditions correspond as realistic as possible to the actual processes in your company - with the difference that all participants can exchange information directly and immediately and adjust the processes in real-time. In this way, we create an optimal basis for decision-making, on which you can select your potential upcoming software with confidence.

Trial operation and implementation

The trial run can take place either directly in your company or - if desired - in our digitization lab. The goal is the mutual realization: It works.

We then help you to efficiently implement the new software in your company. At the end, we develop an individual process strategy and implement it together with the software provider.
