West Chester, PA – November 12, 2009 – EXTEDO, a key eSubmission solutions provider for life sciences firms, and MasterControl Inc., a leading document and quality management software firm, today announced the launch of a new integrated solution at the DIA Electronic Submission Conference in San Diego. The integration between EXTEDO eCTDmanager Suite™ and MasterControl Documents™ provides customers with an end-to-end solution for the management of documents and submissions to global life sciences regulatory agencies. Submissions can be delivered in any format required by a regulator – Electronic Common Technical Documents (eCTD), Non-eCTD Electronic submissions and paper submissions.

“By ensuring the management of both document and submission lifecycles in a single solution life sciences firms will be able to bring new products to market faster by accelerating in-house approvals, and ensuring that submissions are complete and accurate before they are sent to the regulator,” stated Harv Martens, Vice President for North America and Japan at EXTEDO.

“We have seen a sizable increase in demand for an end-to-end document management and electronic submissions suite. This integration between MasterControl and EXTEDO represents the next generation in eSubmission solutions and provides our clients with a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy approach for handling regulatory filings,” said Bryan Koslow, Global Vice President at MasterControl.

EXTEDO life sciences industry experts will be demonstrating the capabilities of the new solution at the DIA Electronic Submissions Conference.

Additionally, qualified DIA attendees can pick up a free trial version of GECCO, the leading eCTD validation and review tool with over 1,100 users globally.
