Liquent Reveals Its Next Generation Electronic Publishing Solution, Liquent InSight® Publisher
Thomson Scientific today announced that Liquent is poised to release its next generation electronic publishing solution, Liquent InSight® Publisher. The solution is set to have a major positive impact on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies’ publishing abilities as they migrate to the eCTD. Existing Liquent CoreDossier® and Liquent EZsubs® clients will receive Insight Publisher free of any license fee as part of their existing maintenance agreements. The DIA 2005 event being held in Washington DC on June 26th through 30th, has been chosen to unveil this most extensive, flexible and intuitive electronic publishing system for the Life Sciences market.
Following months of collaboration with the Liquent Customer Advisory Board, and in response to the exacting demands of the life sciences market and its regulatory authorities, InSight Publisher has been developed to appeal to existing Liquent CoreDossier® and Liquent EZsubs® customers, as well as to entice new customers to the fold.
Speaking of Liquent’s announcement to offer InSight Publisher to customers as a part of their ongoing annual maintenance agreements, Gerhard Schlueter, Head of Global Regulatory Operations at Bayer HealthCare’s Pharmaceutical Division commented, “Liquent’s approach is in line with our expectations and planning. This will enable us to have a smooth transition from EZsubs to InSight Publisher and will support the further eCTD implementation.”
InSight Publisher, which will be generally available in August 2005, delivers unrivalled publishing functionality coupled with an intuitive user interface. In its initial release, InSight Publisher will provide complete eCTD submission publishing and lifecycle management. In subsequent releases, InSight Publisher will expand to also enable creation of paper CTD submissions from an original eCTD as well as complete paper submission publishing capabilities.
Jim Nichols is Liquent’s Vice President of Product Strategy and Marketing, “We are delighted to offer InSight Publisher free of any license fee to our existing CoreDossier and EZsubs customers as an endorsement of our continued commitment to underpinning their organisations with the most comprehensive publishing and product management solutions in the market.” Jim continues, “We have just completed our annual Liquent 2005 Regulatory Submissions Trends survey and the decision to launch InSight Publisher couldn’t be more timely. More than three-quarters of survey respondents stated their plan to migrate to the eCTD, one third of which plan to do so in the next ten to eighteen months. InSight Publisher is perfectly positioned to respond to this planned migration by offering the most modern, comprehensive and intuitive solution to handle these publishing demands.”
InSight Publisher is an integrated module of Liquent’s regulatory product management suite, InSight Manager, thereby boosting its position as the most comprehensive product management lifecycle solution for the Life Sciences market. InSight Manager Release 2.0 will also be launched at the DIA 2005 event and its boasts extended capabilities including – Registration planning & tracking; Product detail management, Submission planning & tracking and Registered document analysis.
CoreDossier and EZsubs clients can qualify for InSight Publisher by renewing their annual maintenance agreements for a 2-year period by October 31st, 2005. The offer further enables customers to use their legacy publishing solution (CoreDossier or EZsubs) in parallel with InSight Publisher until they are ready to discontinue use of the legacy system thereby easing the upgrade process and ensuring successful adoption.
