Oxford, UK; Princeton, NJ; Tokyo, Japan; Basel, Switzerland; Sydney, Australia – December 12, 2014.
Zinc Ahead announced today that the number of jobs approved by life sciences professionals using their flagship product, Zinc MAPS, has reached two million. This significant milestone illustrates the continuing value of Zinc’s content compliance and rich media management solution, within the heavily regulated life sciences industry.
With financial penalities reaching into billions of dollars for non-compliance, strict approval processes for content are a necessity for life sciences companies. The Zinc platform – comprising Zinc MAPS workflow and Zinc Telescope digital asset management - supports all aspects of the content lifecycle from creation to distribution; enabling users to plan, discuss, track, review, approve and share materials, confident in their compliance with industry standards.
“On average, Zinc data shows that across the globe, 12,500 jobs per week are approved through the platform,” said Zinc Technical Director, Dom Eaton. “The rapid increase in jobs being approved reinforces the choice of Zinc as the gold standard compliance solution.”
To date, Zinc has over 50,000 users in 170 life sciences companies worldwide. Zinc clients have experienced impressive results, with over 50% reduction in review cycle time and over 25% reduction in time spent on compliance procedures.
“Compliance within the life sciences has always been regarded as a major bottleneck in getting materials to market,” said Zinc CEO James Brown. “Zinc set out to change that - and the number of materials being reviewed and approved in Zinc MAPS is proof that we have transformed the compliance process for hundreds of companies.”
