In a move designed to help pharmaceutical and biotech companies ensure reliable compliance with regulatory requirements of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA), while providing comprehensive coverage from a single source, Data Reduction Systems Corp. (DRS), ( www.drscorp.com ) a leading provider of information products and services, recently announced the addition of DRS PDMAcomply to its Pharma Solutions suite of services.
The program was designed specifically to address the high cost of managing and maintaining in-house compliance operations, and risks often associated with piecing together PDMA compliance tools using internal systems serviced by multiple vendors.
