GTI - News

GTI has signed up with a strong new partner for document management.
A new solution will be developed together with IABG Life Science Solutions GmbH (changing their name to EXTEDO) to establish a connection between their eCTD Manager product and the PharAO DMS of GTI. The eCTD Manager is a solution for managing complex electronic submissions of new drug applications. The connection to PharAO allows a direct access from the eCTD Manager to the documents archived in the DMS, allowing for an easy integration of these documents into the electronic submissions.

On the 4th Scarabaeus Conference in Berlin Teltow GTI impressed once again numerous customers and prospective customers with new functionality of the forthcoming Scarabaeus+ Release 05.02.0001 and gave new insights into the development perspectives for their product range.

Some highlights of the program:

• The Scarabaeus+ Release 05.01.0002:
  • Redesigned user interface with options for individual configurations
  • Enhancements in the QC area (Definition of dependencies between individual test characteristics, management of measuring series with multiple feedbacks per step, etc.)
  • Expanded options for report control
  • Integration of Sec. 16, German Ordinance for the Production of Medical Products and Active Substances of 03.11.2006
  • Many new functions in purchasing/sales, warehouse posting, production, etc. (in total more than 100 improvements and extensions)
• Preview on the integration of the SOTHIS functions in Scarabaeus+ and options to use Scarabaeus+ as subsystem with existing ERP solutions.
• Presentation of the PharAO DMS in a live scenario and subsequent outlook on new features in the new version 5.7
• Guest presentation of the eCTD Manager solution by IABG Life Science Solutions GmbH
• Demonstration of Microsoft Dynamics AX via BizTalk server with regards to its cooperation and integration with Scarabaeus+
  

Moreover, some workshops on the second day gave welcome opportunity to discuss potentials and solutions with customers:

• Lab planning with Microsoft Project
• Using Cognos MIS Cubes to create Product Quality Reviews
• Optimising warehouse processes (posting, inventory, picking) using wireless scanners

All in all, this conference was another overwhelming success, impressively documented by the very positive feedback in a survey of participants.
We would like to thank all participants for their commitment and their valuable contributions and we are looking forward to the next Scarabaeus Conference.

GTI welcomes two new employees, who have started their work on 01.09.2007:

• Ingo Hertzsprung, the new key account manager in the sales department
• Frank Speckmann, the new technical writer in the documentation department

This new additional support will help us to serve you even better in future.
