An Introduction to Document Standards Best Practices and StartingPoint® 3.2
Evolving global submission standards are adding complexity to the already challenging submission authoring process. To address these challenges, Octagon developed StartingPoint®, a suite of global submission document authoring templates. StartingPoint consists of over 200 separate content templates that enable rapid deployment of authoring standards across functional areas to facilitate efficient authoring of all components of the eCTD.
Please join us for this complimentary Webinar where we will introduce StartingPoint and present key product features. We will also discuss best practices for developing eCTD capabilities through the implementation of document authoring standards.
