Software enables on-demand report generation from preclinical to manufacturing

iAdvantage (Cary, NC) just launched a reporting generator called ePublisher, an offshoot of the company's eStudy management solution. The standalone software, which is Web-based, enables users in life science fields the ability to design templates and generate reports on-demand. ePublisher is compatible with familiar word processing and spreadsheet software, including Word and Excel.

Available formatting options include single data points, text, tables, and images. The software can pull data from Oracle and Sequel databases simultaneously into the same report. Users point ePublisher to the data source, select the data set of interest and the desired report template, and click on "generate report."

Its manufacturer says that ePublisher reduces report generation from weeks to months, with applications from development and preclinical, including toxicology, safety, and efficacy, through to clinical and throughout the manufacturing process.
