eCTD to PDF Submissions

In cases where our customers are faced with having to comply to other governmental jurisdictions that have not yet standardized on eCTD filing, they rely on Adlib Exhibit; a collaborative browser-based application that extends the power of Adlib Express Server. Exhibit is designed to provide the tools to rapidly and accurately convert eCTD documents into predefined templates which are then published as PDF documents.

Typical Results

The manual processes of document editing and review can typically be reduced from 120 minutes per document to 10 minutes. Depending on labor rates and the number of documents rendered, the cost savings can be enormous. Above is a chart of typical numbers reported by some of our customers. They reflect small and large Life Science companies alike.

Based on the chart above, the typical ROI can be measured in weeks; not months. Even though we recommend implementing more servers as volume demand dictates, as the volume of submissions grows, the cost savings grow proportionately, making the investment pay off just as quickly.

In addition to saving money on the costs of reviewing and editing documents, most Life Science companies report better faster acceptance levels for their submissions due to the quality of the submission. As such, they are able to go to market faster and more quickly start to accrue revenue from their patent. As the patent time line is fixed from the initial application for the compound patent, the faster the process for completing electronic submissions the greater the window of opportunity to make more money before the generic drugs hit the market. Adlib Express Server applications are enablers for rapid time to market.
