Business case

A global pharma leader was facing challenges with its pharmacovigilance and regulatory reporting. With numerous aggregate reporting processes and tools, critical activities such as template management, report generation, and approvals were inconsistent, labor-intensive, and fragmented.  

Other essential operational features like version control, commenting, and report locking were missing, undermining collaboration and audit readiness. Overall system performance was another concern with large data volumes, causing frequent system crashes and delays, forcing teams to rely externally to complete complex reports.

Security and governance were also key worries as the current system lacked fine-grained access controls. Without a central source of reference data, reports often had inconsistent information. Additionally, there was no scalable way to handle ad hoc or recurring report requests, assign tasks to team members, or monitor progress. This made the entire reporting process inefficient and hard to manage.

As regulatory demands grew and data complexity increased, the existing setup became unsustainable prompting the need for a modern, integrated, and automated safety reporting solution that was scalable and efficient, supporting evolving business needs. 

Our solution

After identifying key gaps, i2e proposed a future-ready, well-integrated reporting solution pulling data upstream with advanced tools, accelerating report generation, streamlining resource management, and enabling secure storage with built-in analytics. 

Key features
  • Web-based admin console: Centrally manage scheduling, monitoring, controlling, reporting workflows, and key inputs like late conditions and case lists.
  • Dynamic report generation with audit logs: Create aggregate and ad hoc reports using templates that pull data from safety, clinical, operational, and historical sources. Enhance reporting capabilities with automated workflows for real-time updates to aggregate reports. Enable data versioning and audit trails for traceability and regulatory compliance.
  • Integrated project & resource management: Plan, assign, and track resources across the reporting lifecycle with built-in management tools.
  • Secure storage & scalable distribution: Store and distribute finalized reports securely downstream in the document management system, SharePoint, or Amazon S3. 

Challenges overcome

  • Developed a new and flexible reporting solution without disrupting ongoing operations, while reusing existing data structures and logic.
  • Eliminated fragmented systems and manual data transfer between reporting applications.
  • Improved performance for high-volume aggregate reports

 

 

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in safety reporting processes
  • Scalable reporting with automation
  • Data integrity with versioning
  • Centralized and connected platform
  • User empowerment with self-service, intuitive tools
  • Enhanced data security and compliance with easy access
