The CDS is Dead!

Long Live the CDS!

Most people would agree that the Core Data Sheet (CDS) contains some of the most critical information for pharma companies. At the same time, crucial information is also created from the CDS. Knowing how important the CDS is, why are most pharma companies using a Word document to create, store, and manage the content? Unfortunately, most companies do not realize that there is a much better way.

In this white paper, we present an improved solution for creating, storing, and managing critical CDS information in one location.

In this white paper, you will learn:

Why word processors like Word don’t work as a repository for your most critical content
A better solution in the form of a component-based structured content management system (SCMS)
The benefits of using SCMS to store, update, and manage your content
