The life sciences industry is being thrust into the world of XML. The FDA's recently mandated Structured Product Labeling (SPL) initiative as well as private initiatives with Standard Response Letters, Clinical Data, and Product Information Management (PIM) for EMEA labeling have made it clear that the use of XML is on the upswing. But how do you benchmark your organization with your peers? What are the biggest problems in working with documentation?

Recently, ForeignExchange Translations, RWD Technologies, and Data Conversion Laboratory asked these questions to a broad cross-section of the life sciences industry through a comprehensive survey. In this presentation we will unveil the results, looking at where the industry stands on XML initiatives, and where it needs to be. You will learn how your peers are tackling the issues associated with SPL, Standard Response Letters, and Clinical Data Reports. You will hear what they report as the biggest problems, and what they are doing to solve them.

This audio conference will cover:

• The most common issues reported with labeling, medical communications, and clinical study reports
• How other organizations are dealing with XML issues
• Where your organization stands in comparison
• Where you need to be to ensure compliance
