Docusign for life sciences FAQs
In the life sciences industry, electronic signatures are used to streamline agreements. Pharmaceutical organisations use e-signatures for clinical trial enrolment, supplier contracts and more to accelerate the development and delivery of therapeutics to market. Medical device manufacturers use e-signatures for clinical testing, sales contracts, service agreements and more to accelerate product development and commercialisation.
Docusign eSignature was the first e-signature tool to enable compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Recently, to meet the needs of our life sciences customers without jeopardising compliance, we released a new package of features. The Life Sciences Pro package includes Part 11-specific eSignature functionality, Validator for Life Sciences and SMS authentication. In the same way that Docusign was the first to offer Part 11 compliance, we’re the first to bundle features like this together for our life sciences customers.
The Life Sciences Module provides a high-availability, high-security and highly customisable solution to maintain compliance with regulations domestically and globally. The module is designed to be incorporated as part of an open system solution, where electronic communication occurs among multiple parties and system access must extend to both internal and external parties. This module is absolutely critical for any life sciences organisation that handles electronic records.Learn More About Docusign Life Sciences Modules for 21 CFR Part 11
