         Free Whitepaper - Reducing the Burden of Educational Events Reporting
        "Every six months Australian pharmaceutical companies that subscribe to the Medicines Australia (MA) Code of Conduct must submit a report to MA that lists the details of every Educational Event that they conducted in that period.  Up until June 2008 the participating companies (47 in all) conducted over 15,000 events. If one was to look at the data that comprises these reports, it might be easy to mistake the amount of effort that a pharmaceutical company goes through to create this report.  The data set is not overly complex by business reporting standards, but this belies the overwhelming corporate effort that each company must make to produce this report.The advent of this reporting requirement has added a considerable burden to various constituencies within the company. It is wrong to assume that this is simply a finance function. The other functions affected include Sales; Medical; Marketing and the Executive. Author Grant Halloran, CEO Orbis

        Market Research Briefing and Approvals
        Pharmaceutical Market Research teams use Orbis Marketing to drive efficiency and compliance in its Market Research Projects.   A Market Research Project moves through several stages, including:
        • Pre-brief activities
        • Stakeholder Engagement
        • Project Approval
        • Briefing to Research Agencies
        • Approval of Costs and Agency
        • Presentation and Distribution of Results
        Throughout all stages, there are regular approvals and compliance reviews.   Orbis Marketing now automates all these stages, enabling online Briefing of agencies, automated timelines and automated approvals. Compliance is achieved through Orbis Approval Templates, which automatically route briefs and costs to required approvers and reviewers, capturing all decisions and comments permanently. Final research documents are captured in the GSK Orbis Marketing solution, ensuring there is a permanent record and audit history of the Project.
