Agency acceptance of eSubmissions
Not all agencies are ready to accept electronic submissions and many expect your applications to be delivered on paper. This can be a significant overhead for organizations that want to leverage the benefits of eSubmissions but do not want to compromise their eSubmission strategy or processes to accommodate paper dossiers.
Printing Paper Dossiers Made Easy
Datafarm is a leading electronic submissions assembly and validation solutions provider and understands the global requirements from all regulatory agencies. We recognize that not all agencies currently accept electronic submissions as a sanctioned document and continue to require paper as an official submission format due to various legal and regulatory requirements.
S-Cubed® Publisher is designed to address this business requirement. This web-based application enables users to produce paper dossiers from electronic dossiers that include both eCTD and Non eCTD (NeES) formats. The creation of printer-ready paper volumes is provided through a simple, intuitive, multi-agency compliant, web-based application and includes the following capabilities:
- produce a paper dossier (pDossier) from an eCTD submission
- produce a Hybrid eDossier from an eCTD submission
- produce a pDossier from a NeES submission
Compliant Paper Dossiers
The S-Cubed® Publisher application helps you generate print-ready output from your eCTD or NeES formats. Processing from an eCTD or NeES format enables you to retain your electronic submissions process and the benefits associated with eSubmissions while being proficient in delivering a paper dossier from a single source. S-Cubed® Publisher delivers significant benefits to your organization by allowing you to create one eSubmission format that can be delivered in multiple formats - electronic and/or paper. Preparing your submissions in an electronic format today offers many cost efficiencies, and when those agencies currently requiring paper are ready to accept electronic submissions, you can take advantage by being prepared for both.
