Proven Industry-Leading Solution Will Be Used to Comply with Complex
State & Federal Promotional Spend Reporting Regulations
Cegedim Dendrite today announced that its Aggregate Spend and State
Services solution, State Guardian™, has been selected by a Top-10
Pharmaceutical Company. Cegedim Dendrite is the leading provider of
innovative Compliance Solutions to the pharmaceutical industry, and has
been offering its break-through State Guardian™ solution, in both SaaS
and license models, since 2006.
State Guardian™ is a cost-effective and easy-to-implement solution that
helps pharmaceutical companies of all sizes ensure compliance with the
state and federal laws and regulations that govern gifts, marketing and
advertising expenses, as well as other promotional items related to
prescription drugs. It collects data from disparate systems and
automatically generates reports per the latest state and federal
requirements. State Guardian™ integrates with any Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) solution.
The Top-10 Pharmaceutical Company will utilize Cegedim Dendrite’s State
Guardian™ solution to compile and prepare required state reports
automatically, removing a tremendous administrative burden, and aiding
in compliance with increasingly complex, multi-state requirements and
potentially federal reporting requirements. The solution also provides
the benefit of multiple views into aggregate spending at the prescriber,
product and event levels, enabling improved tracking.
“This Top-10 Pharmaceutical Company is an industry leader and their
selection of State Guardian reaffirms our market leadership which was
established in 2006,” explained Bill Buzzeo, Cegedim Dendrite VP & GM,
Compliance and OneKey Solutions.
“We were the first to bring a commercially available solution of this
kind to market and we continue to expand its breadth and adapt it to
meet the needs of emerging, mid-sized and large pharmaceutical
companies,” said Buzzeo. “This customer chose State Guardian™ because of
Cegedim Dendrite’s experience and expertise, especially compared to
competitors who are only just entering the market. As one decision
factor, the customer did not want to invest in an unproven solution.
Customers look for proven solutions and experience to help them meet
their needs today and tomorrow. We have been supporting the Life
Sciences industry for the past 40 years.”
