Reed Technology offers a wide range of services throughout the PIM process: Product Information Harmonization, PIM Creation (English and other languages), Translation Services, and PIM Life Cycle Management. Our services are tailored to meet your specific needs. We can provide you the full range of PIM services or an “a la carte” approach that allows you to utilize the resources you need, when and where necessary, during any phase of the PIM life cycle.

Product Information Harmonization

This preliminary step is a comprehensive evaluation of Product Information that harmonizes the content prior to migrating it into the PIM format. Reed Tech uses automated tools, augmented with human expertise, to perform a character-by-character comparison between like documents (e.g. SPC vs. SPC, PL vs. PL, etc.) and delivers a detailed Comparison Analysis Report. Reed Tech then applies your desired changes to create harmonized Product Information that facilitates PIM template creation, assists in language translation reuse, and minimizes content discrepancy risks. Document comparison services can also be applied to post-authorised, translated components.

PIM (en) Creation and Updates

This service creates the PIM (English) instance from QRD templates in any file format and supports updates during the pre-opinion phase. Reed Tech analyzes the PI documents, identifies reusable text, and creates the PIM instance per your specific business rules. To ensure accuracy, quality control is performed on the PIM document using automated tools and proofing specialists and is then validated against the latest DES. During the review process, Reed Tech applies EMEA requested changes that you approve, as well as any additional changes that you request, until final positive EMEA opinion.

Translation Services

Translation services are provided for all PIM supported languages or just your selected languages. Translations are performed by experienced human translators, knowledgeable in pharmaceutical content, supported with state-of-the-art tools. Our language translation service can provide full translation capabilities or complement your existing translation capabilities to create the full collection of language content for inclusion into the PIM document.

PIM (all) Creation and Updates

During the post-opinion phase, Reed Tech integrates all translated language content into PIM and creates the PIM (all languages) instance for review. The full proofing and validation processes discussed above are applied. During the review process, Reed Tech applies Member State-requested language changes that you approve, as well as any additional changes that you request, until EC approval.

PIM Life Cycle Management

Reed Tech's PIM Life Cycle Management service provides ongoing project management for the PIM life cycle. This service incorporates and supports all ongoing changes to the PIM document through the life of the product.
