NextDocs gives new life to SharePoint
March 23, 2009:A major upgrade to NextDocs’s Microsoft Office SharePoint Server-based software suite for life sciences companies adds an entirely new module for managing clinical documents as well as new features that enhance users’ ability to easily manage regulated content.
The Clinical Documents Module joins the SOP Management Module and the Regulatory Documents Modules as a component of the NextDocs Document Management System. It provides an out-of-the-box solution for collaboration and document sharing between sponsors, investigators, site monitors and vendors, and includes support for scheduling and tracking of site monitor visits, documentation of investigational products protocols and support for essential study documents such as investigator brochures, study protocols, 1572s, informed consent forms and investigator CVs.
According to Zikria Syed, the CEO of NextDocs, “The Clinical Module is a major extension of our product’s capabilities to a new set of business processes. By utilizing SharePoint Server, we can provide both a collaborative portal for study participants and a fully compliant document repository for regulated documents.”
The new release also includes new usability features including the ability to conduct parallel reviews and annotations using Microsoft Word and the ability to launch workflow and lifecycle processes directly from Microsoft Word.
