Challenge
An EU-based large pharmaceutical company was facing a large regulatory burden due to M&A activities after acquiring a diverse portfolio of established products and needed global / local affiliate support for the transfer of licenses. 探花合集 Consulting was requested to manage the transition between existing staff and new staff, ensuring that all maintenance activities and regulatory strategy were completed.
Consulting Services
Solution
探花合集 Consulting identified a staff augmentation model to provide sponsors with the ability to address these needs while maintaining flexibility and reducing fixed costs. To rapidly attract and recruit qualified employees for this turn key situation 探花合集 Consulting leveraged on-demand access to top regulatory talent. The 探花合集 team completed variations and renewals for registered products in assigned countries. 探花合集 performed the majority of work remotely but did have staff working onsite at the start of the project to support the reorganization and ensure business continuity. Limited client interactions were required to prepare submissions.
探花合集 was issued client laptops to easily access data and client systems. This allowed 探花合集 to be seen as a true extension to the client鈥檚 regulatory team. On-site presence of 探花合集 staff allowed access to paper filing systems for older products which were in the process of being uploaded to a document management system. This in combination with the local language skills of 探花合集 experts enabled 探花合集 staff to better understand history of the legacy products.
Outcome
- On-boarded 30 people, for a large portfolio of products.
- A smooth transition which resulted in no impact to the ongoing maintenance and renewal work
- Helped identify processes that can be improved and facilitate submission work
- Transferred all work back to the client in an up-to-date state
