Vorsite Corporation Joins Microsoft’s Digital Pharma Partner Program
Vorsite helps pharmaceutical companies bridge gap between users and information by integrating Microsoft SharePoint with Enterprise Content Management systems.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 26, 2005 -- Vorsite Corporation, a leading provider
of products and services for integrating Microsoft SharePoint with Enterprise
Content Management System, today announced that it has accepted an invitation to
become a partner in Microsoft’s Digital Pharma initiative. Vorsite solutions
help pharmaceutical and life science companies speed clinical trials and other
R&D processes by ensuring that researchers can access information quickly
and easily while preserving security and data integrity.
According to a
recent PhRMA annual survey, pharmaceutical companies spend 71% of their R&D
budget on new drug development, with 45% of total R&D going to clinical
trials. Vorsite helps companies build clinical trial management systems and
other R&D solutions that take advantage of the robust workflow, auditing,
and record maintenance capabilities of their ECM system while giving users the
ease of use and familiarity of a SharePoint front end. This combination helps
pharmaceutical companies maximize speed and efficiency while ensuring regulatory
compliance.
"Working with industry-leading companies like Vorsite,
Microsoft is enabling pharmaceutical companies to collaborate seamlessly,
facilitating timely and accurate decisions," said Steve Shihadeh, general
manager, Microsoft Healthcare and Life Sciences. "With the launch of Digital
Pharma, Microsoft and its partners are using proven technology to drive out the
complexity that's inherent to an industry that is data-intensive and
geographically diverse, so that critical drugs can be brought to market as
quickly as possible."
Vorsite’s premier product offering is the
Enterprise Integration Toolkit, a suite of products built on the .Net Framework
that enables integration of Microsoft SharePoint Technologies with Enterprise
Content Management systems. Vorsite also offers the ECM QuickStart consulting
service, a rapid deployment program that helps customers implement SharePoint as
a front-end to an existing ECM system in as little as two weeks.
“Our
pharmaceutical customers rely on their Enterprise Content Management systems to
ensure regulatory compliance throughout the course of their research and
development,” said Vorsite CEO Aaron Nettles. “We help them use SharePoint to
bridge the gap between users and those backend systems. The Digital Pharma
solutions framework matches our vision of using Microsoft technologies to help
pharmaceutical companies streamline the R&D process.”
The Vorsite
Enterprise Integration Toolkit and ECM QuickStart are available today. The
company will be showcasing additional product and service offerings for the
pharmaceutical industry at the Drug Information Association’s annual meeting
June 26-30 in Washington, DC. For more information go to www.vorsite.com.
