ExpeData® Demonstrates Commitment to Industry Clients With Ongoing 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance Initiative

2010-07-21T09:29:00.000-04:00

ExpeData, a provider of digital writing solutions for multiple industries including pharmaceuticals and clinical research organizations, is pleased to announce that its EDW™ digital writing software platform solution has been rigorously evaluated and continues to meet the required security components of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 11. ExpeData’s EDW platform was audited by Computer System Validation, an FDA Compliance firm and one of the nation's foremost experts on Part 11.

ExpeData’s digital writing platform is the perfect solution to address data collection challenges in pharmaceutical clinical research organizations. Digital writing allows a user to provide information by writing on paper documents (such as case reports) with a digital pen. The handwriting captured on the form is routed in near real-time using wireless mobile devices or PCs. Security of the data is ensured with encryption throughout the transmission process for protection of valuable information. The handwritten information is received by a digital writing server and converted into electronic data in industry standard formats and sent to downstream systems/databases for immediate use.

By incorporating digital writing into data collection processes, information exchange and communications are greatly expedited and enhanced. Research staff has access to information in near real-time. Problems can be identified and corrected before a protocol deviation becomes uncorrectable. This saves valuable time and money. Information is available to all parties participating in a study or trial at the same time for review and discussion, enhancing communication. User impacts are minimal as the experience for end users in terms of recording data is virtually unchanged.

In keeping with emerging trends in microfinance banking, Women’s World Banking Ghana (WWBG) is meeting the needs of rural customers with an innovative digital writing solution from ExpeData®.

To enhance field banking services to its customers, WWBG is implementing new account opening procedures in remote areas where banking is often not readily available or convenient.

The EDW solution enables WWBG field staff to complete account application forms with a digital pen when meeting with rural customers. The paper forms are similar in appearance to WWBG’s current account opening forms and are completed as one would normally complete a paper form. The handwriting captured on the form is routed in near real-time using wireless mobile devices. The ExpeData EDW technology converts the handwritten information to electronic data and digital images which are available for immediate use by downstream banking systems.

WWBG staff has the ability to easily submit the account origination transaction without scanning or data entry. Utilizing this technology also enables WWGB to maintain the legal protection of having a paper document with original signatures.

By deploying this innovative field solution, backed by ExpeData’s powerful digital writing platform, WWBG can streamline the account opening process, reducing response time and enhancing customer service while retaining the human touch for sensitive information gathering related to financial transactions.
