“The role of regulatory affairs is critical in ensuring successful product registrations and renewals in each market. However, as the number of products, product variations and potential markets increase, regulatory affairs often has to rely on manual, disconnected or semi-automated IT systems,” said Simon Sparkes, vice president of global sales and marketing at ArisGlobal, “This often leads to compliance issues and inconsistencies between Regulatory and Manufacturing.”
