CSC releases ECM services for life sciences industry

IT services provider CSC has released the FirstPoint and FirstDoc enterprise content management services, adding features designed to support the systematic management of all aspects of the document lifecycle and the collaboration needs of global life science organizations.

By CBR Staff Writer

According to the company, FirstPoint 1.6 offers small to mid-size life science companies an enterprise content management (ECM) with the enterprise-wide functionality. The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server-based application enables adoption and scalability of the size of the organization.

FirstPoint is expected to enable collaboration in a controlled environment, increasing productivity while reducing the risk of non-compliance. Other features include electronic signature, watermarking, PDF rendition management, and template-driven workflows that reduce the need for customizations and help users manage multiple vendors.

CSC claims that the new release offers forms management that leverages Microsoft Office InfoPath technology for creation, routing and approval of essential regulatory-driven forms, such as Change Request and Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA).

FirstDoc 6.0 is based on EMC’s new Documentum 6.5 platform. The new release allows users to personalize SharePoint web parts according to user role and content access privilege. This personalization capability helps FirstDoc administrators broaden their team’s individual user experience and increase productivity.

Deward Watts, president of global healthcare sector at CSC, said: FirstDoc exemplifies our commitment to interoperability, improves information sharing, reduces costs and enables clients to leverage their overall technology investments.
