Enterprise Ready


Some of our more ambitious projects have been as part of a team at a fortune 500 company. We've been fortunate to work with team members acutely aware of what it takes to successfully translate ideas into a tangible solution. Click a link below for more information on some of the larger-scale projects we've led to success.

A global regulatory database repository

A web-based application developed for use by the Regulatory Operations and Affairs department within one of our pharmaceutical clients. The system is required to provide access to the regulatory status of our client’s products worldwide by tracking the regulatory life cycle of a product from the time of an estimated dossier dispatch or submission through the time the product is approved and launched in a market. 

The objectives for the design of the database were to provide a user friendly, comprehensive, web-based application that enables real-time access to a broad range of regulatory information. Furthermore, the system needed to enable data entry at various points throughout the regulatory process and provide users with extensive search and reporting capabilities. The system was designed to be an internationally shared reference tool for our client, which can be accessed anywhere in the world provided the user has an account to the system and access to the corporate intranet.

A validated chemistry, manufacturing and controls database (CMC dB),

Another web-based application developed for use by the manufacturing divisions within one of our pharmaceutical clients. The purpose of the CMC dB is to maintain drug product and ingredient registration or technical dossier information for our client’s products so that the site compliance personnel may verify this information at the manufacturing sites. In addition, our client’s change control efforts are supported by the system through provision of reliable key registration information. Other initiatives such as Supply chain consolidation efforts are facilitated by registration information provided through the CMC dB repository. 

This project included the development of a customized workflow engine for tracking drug product status, assigning daily tasks to system users, and sending change notifications to users and management responsible for a product.

An information security management program

An application within one of our clients to define and disseminate security standards information to corporate employees and raise colleague awareness for information protection. Work in this area included a requirements definition, which provided conceptual designs for a Business Continuity Planning/Disaster Recovery Planning tool, an IT compliance review of legal and regulatory requirements, development of an information security audit checklist, and ensuring compliance with Information Protection Guidelines within each business unit of the organization.

A validated adverse events reporting application

This was developed for the Medical Services department of one of our pharmaceutical clients. The application includes approximately twenty reports that derive data from two separate instances of an adverse events management application, one based in the United States and one in the United Kingdom. Although adverse events data are available through an adverse events management application, the inherent querying capability of the application does not provide the flexibility the client requires. The objective of the reporting application, therefore, is to provide role-based access to adverse events data through a series of "canned" or pre-formatted reports. These reports will support the specific requirements of the Medical Services groups in the US and the UK in terms of adverse events reporting to their respective regulatory authorities, and will provide head office in Japan with, for example, metrics regarding turnaround time for adverse events reporting.

A validated reporting and analysis solution

This was a project for the Pharmacovigilance department at a world-wide leader in the pharmaceutical industry. Avelient manages the reporting and analysis team which is responsible for the production of all aggregate safety reports (PSUR, ASR, QSR, IND, NDA) as well as validated ad-hoc reporting in support of the aggregates and other health authority submissions. Avelient is responsible for metrics reporting, work prioritization with senior management, resource management and workload balancing in this variable environment. The team produces an average of 325 reports per month and meets service level agreements 98% of the time.

During this engagement, the client implemented the Oracle Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS). Avelient led the transition of aggregate reports from the legacy system to AERS. This effort included requirements gathering, business and technical process definition, system configuration, piloting the aggregate reports and training the user base.

Through these and other projects, we have a broad range of experience in several project tools, development tools and technologies. Our consultants have implemented solutions using a variety of technologies and associated tools, including Oracle, Java, .Net and others. We will work with you to define the appropriate technology to meet your business requirements and get your solution from its definition to production as quickly as possible.

Every Avelient solution follows an exhaustive Feasibility and Define phase to ensure we can pro-actively identify obstacles early and provide a clear picture of our interpretation of our customers’ vision. We feel this is the most important phase of the project plan and sets up a much more cost-effective Design and Development process.
