Challenges for Regulatory Teams

Regulatory Compliance

Adhering to regulatory requirements across different geographies is not without its challenges. Impact analysis gives traceability of the product and the content so that the changes can be completed effectively, risk-free, and safely.

Lack of End-to-End Visibility

When regulatory teams don't have a centralized location for their projects, approvals, and more, they lose visibility of the entire process. Without a label and artwork management system, time to market is increased, and artwork, regulatory, and external departments don’t have access to the right content at the right time.

Risk of Errors and Recalls

Getting lost in the feedback? It’s confusing to manage multiple reviews of multiple files without a place to track all the information. Content has to be pulled from multiple locations and may be unavailable to easily re-use on updates to labels, artworks, IFUs, etc. Minimizing reviews reduces risk and allows the user to focus on one topic, avoiding errors.

Validated Systems

It’s imperative to use a validated system that can provide a fully compliant (21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11) audit trail and environment for the approval of artwork and labeling content.

Solutions for Regulatory Teams

Digital Audit Trails

Maintain compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11 through built-in compliance control tools such as ER/ES and audit trails. Use Esko technology and services to validate your labelling and artwork workflow solution according to GAMP5 industry best practices.

Artwork Workflow Management

Gain a holistic view of the label and artwork workflow, and greater process control, with the WebCenter artwork management solution. This spans across an entire organization as well as to 3rd parties involved in the process, such as pre-media, agencies, CMOs, printers, etc.

Content Management

Digital tools create efficiencies in your processes, which better equips you to handle the flux of regulatory changes, review and approval processes with multiple stakeholders, and growing localization requirements. Leveraging pre-approved content and artwork allows regulatory stakeholders to reduce recalls due to artwork errors.

Labeling and Structured Content Management

Content management is a solution that allows regulatory teams to specify, manage, and reuse content (text, claims, symbols, etc.) to be placed on artwork designs without manual copying and pasting. It’s an integrated module within the WebCenter artwork management solution that reduces risk, increases compliance, and saves time and money.

Submission documents, IFUs and labels can automatically be generated from Structured Content, reducing the lead time of content authoring and artwork generation from months to weeks with increased compliancy and error reduction.
