Predicted to reach a market value of US $ 44.72 billion by 2030 , document control solutions undeniably play a crucial role in the pharma and biopharma industries . They manage fundamental operational processes that facilitate drug development , maintain regulatory compliance and ensure product quality .

In the pharmaceutical industry , document control systems provide a robust framework for managing and organising critical documentation throughout the product lifecycle . These systems are designed to ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as good manufacturing practices ( GMP ) and good documentation practices ( GDP ). In the highly regulated sector , where precision and accuracy are paramount , document control systems help companies maintain version control , track changes and establish a secure and auditable repository for essential documents . By centralising and streamlining document management processes , these systems foster collaboration , mitigate the risk of errors and expedite regulatory submissions . Ultimately , document control systems contribute to the integrity of pharmaceutical operations , supporting the industry ’ s commitment to producing safe , high-quality products that meet stringent regulatory standards .
THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Document control is essential for biopharma companies to stay compliant with various regulatory and legal requirements . According to research by Deloitte , pharma companies tend to be behind other industries when it comes to adopting technology for compliance , such as document control software . Document control systems often include audit trails that record changes made to documents , detailing who made what changes and when . This transparency is crucial for demonstrating compliance during regulatory inspections and audits . It not only helps make regulatory audits efficient , but also helps build stronger relationships with regulatory bodies .
To stay compliant with regulations , document control systems also incorporate archival systems that can be customised to meet retention rules . Staying compliant is not merely about ticking off regulatory requirements – it is also beneficial for your organisation . Beyond fulfilling obligations , regulatory compliance also offers your company advantages , such as :
• Future-proofing your company by staying in step with and even ahead of , legal and regulatory changes and updates .
• Accelerating progress and increasing efficiency and productivity as document control establishes standardised procedures for creating , reviewing , approving and updating documents . This consistent approach ensures that all documentation , including SOPs , protocols and reports , follow a uniform format and meet regulatory expectations .
• Reducing risks and cutting down on errors through appropriate access , required electronic signatures and audit trails . �
