Liquent Brings New Regulatory Information Management Solutions to Market Through Partnerships With Thinspring and Eclinso

Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, June 23, 2008 – The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters today announced that it is expanding the breadth of the regulatory information management services it provides, following two strategic partnerships signed by Liquent.

Through collaborations with two innovative solutions providers, Liquent will expand its solution set via these strategic offerings to build on its market leader position as the key provider of software and services solutions designed specifically to meet the regulatory needs of life sciences organizations. They are:

  • ThinSpring – Liquent will offer ThinSpring’s SPL Server™ and PIM Server™ products that enable user-friendly, web-based label authoring in native XML formats.
  • ECLINSO – Liquent and eCLINSO will offer an eCTD solution called Liquent.CONNECT™ that will be delivered via eCLINSO’s hosting services. This will allow companies to produce their own eCTD without investing in expensive new IT infrastructures.

“Our customers rely on our regulatory expertise,” said Rick Riegel, Vice President and General Manager at Liquent. “By collaborating with some of the most innovative companies in the marketplace, we’re ensuring customers have access to the most efficient and diverse integrated solution, allowing them to manage product registrations, dossiers and documents effectively over broad time-scales.”

“I am excited about our growing relationship with Liquent and the Thomson Reuters family of companies.  This agreement instantly expands our sales capacity in a dynamic market requiring very specialized skills and experience,” said Ron Celeste, CEO, ThinSpring. “In addition, the integration of our XML-based technology with Liquent’s product dossier management tools sets the stage well for the future of electronic regulated product submissions.”

“Our collaboration with Liquent will offer customers a cost-effective entry into the eCTD market, facilitate the e-submission process and create an opportunity for mid-sized and smaller pharmaceuticals to benefit from utilizing an enterprise-class eCTD solution," said Frank Pijpers, CEO of ECLINSO.
