WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Octagon Research Solutions, Inc., leading provider of breakthrough software and services to the life sciences industry, announces that Content Manager and Document Publisher join Submission Manager as the next applications built on Octagon’s QuantumTM platform. The Quantum platform’s transformative consolidation of key regulatory information capabilities provide industry with a single, consolidated system to provide robust, highly scalable, and top-tier capabilities to life science companies of all sizes.
Combined with the Quantum platform’s Submission Manager Application, Octagon’s clients now have the capability to develop and publish content from a single, flexible, and pre-configured system. The two new business applications are integral components of Octagon’s cloud strategy. “The multi-tenant architecture of the Quantum platform provides a strong foundation for our cloud strategy,” said Kirk Gallion, president, Octagon Research Solutions, Inc. “Our innovative business applications layered on the Quantum platform offer a compelling cloud-based solution, while still providing the option for a traditional on-premise installation. These business applications extend the value of the platform and connect the dots between the document and submission lifecycle.”
“We are very pleased to announce these two innovative business modules that leverage the strong process management capabilities of Octagon’s Quantum platform,” said James C. Walker, chairman and CEO, Octagon Research Solutions, Inc. “Quantum’s Content Manager and Document Publisher address the challenges of managing the document lifecycle while improving the quality, consistency and value of the final content deliverables.”
The Quantum Content Manager Business Application provides process controls across the document lifecycle and offers a secure and collaborative environment for content creation, review and finalization. The Quantum Document Publisher Business Application provides PDF (Portable Document Format) manipulation functionality supporting:
- Document navigation and the creation and modification of bookmarks and hyperlinks
- Document maintenance activities such as scaling, rotating and cropping
- Document enhancements such as the application of headers, footers and pagination
In addition, to accommodate the company’s steadily growing international client base, Octagon is expanding globally by adding 100 clinical and regulatory professionals -- expanding its US Headquarters location, and broadening its presence in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region with new facilities in the UK and in India. Octagon’s continued growth is a direct result of the biopharmaceutical industry’s drive toward clinical and regulatory efficiencies that impact cost, resources and regulatory submission timelines on a global scale. Octagon is already working with 60% of the top-50 global pharmaceutical companies and hundreds of additional biopharmaceutical clients across all tiers and geographies.
“Octagon’s global expansion demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting our valued clients with region-specific regulatory experts and to expanding our business in new regions around the world,” said James C.
