Regulatory bodies like the FDA must enforce compliance regulations for pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. Some new regulations are more stringent than others, and compliance regulations imposed globally by the FDA are usually more quality-focused.
Key factors that drive compliance and regulation changes include patients (in relation to adverse events or reactions), emerging markets, technological developments, as well as globalization. These changes require pharma companies to readjust the way they run their operations and they need to take advantage of the best compliance reporting software to accommodate and tackle the changes imposed on them. With report generation software like Windward, companies can now avoid non-compliance issues and minimize any negative impact quite effectively in real time.
Big and small firms within this industry are persuaded to follow the compliance rules governing the quality of their products by the need to:
• Stay abreast of market standards
• Close observation by regulating bodies
• Considerable repercussions (that come with overlooking the rules)
• Minimize the organization’s exposure (brand image) and
• Optimizing the cost of complying
It is crucial for companies to come up with a solid compliance strategy by identification, reporting, analysis, and mitigation of any compliance-related risks.
Unfortunately, outdated IT infrastructure in most pharma companies present disparities in the platforms and systems used for reporting (over 40% believe that their present compliance reporting and monitoring systems don’t provide any encouraging intervention). This makes access, integration, and analysis of data problematic, thereby making a comprehensive understanding of compliance issues difficult and things can get out of control.
In fact, compliance heads in most pharma companies are depending on manual reporting software that is absolutely time-consuming, resource-intensive, and painfully complex.
Compliance reporting can be simplified by engaging reporting automation software like Windward to draw data from different data sources. One of the best report automation benefits is that even an individual employee of your firm can design templates with unlimited parameters and conditional logic functionality in familiar platforms like MS Office and generate hundreds of compliance reports in a matter of minutes. After this, they can share them in multiple output formats with relevant authorities.
Focusing on the aforementioned strategies offers companies within the pharma and life sciences industries a chance to walk the balance between value gained and costs averted when it comes to compliance risks.

The Generate Code tool in the designer allows you to open an existing template and, with a click of a button, automatically create a window with the code needed to run your current template with all data sources and variables. Simply copy this code and paste into your application's code in the appropriate place. You now have Windward integrated into your application.
You only need to do this once. You do not do this for each template. Instead, where it has explicit files for the template and output, change that to parameters you pass to this code. Same for the parameters passed to Windward. This example uses explicit values to show you what to substitute in where.
Any pivot tables in an XLSX template are carried over to the XLSX output. The ranges in the pivot ranges are adjusted to match the generated output. So your final XLSX will have pivot tables set as expected in the generated file.
This makes creating an XLSX workbook with pivot tables trivial.
In an imported sub-template, if its properties for a style (ex. Normal) differ from the parent template's properties for the style, the use in the sub-template can be set to either use the properties in the sub-template, or the properties in the parent.
You set to retain when you don't want the child template's styling to change when imported. You set to use the parent when you want the styling of the imported template to match the styling in the parent.
Any explicit styling is always retained. This only impacts styling set by styles.
Tags can be placed in text boxes. Including linked text boxes. This gives you the ability to set the text in a textbox from your data.
Tags can be placed in shapes & smart art. This gives you the ability to set the text in a shape from your data.
When generating HTML output, the engine can either write bitmaps as distinct files the generate HTML references, or it can embed the images in the HTML providing a single file for the output.
You can place tags in pretty much any part of a template, including in footnotes & endnotes.
Any parts of a DOCX or XLSX (PowerPoint does not support this) file that are locked in the template, will be locked the same in the output.
If a font used in the template does not exist on the server generating a report, the font to substitute can be specified.
In addition, if a glyph to be rendered does not exist in the font specified, you can specify the replacement font. This can be set distinctly for European, Bi-Directional, and Far East fonts.
If you need this - it's essential. And if you don't need it, it's irrelevant.
Windward enables you to build a document by applying multiple datasources to the template simultaneously. When Windward is merging the data into a template, it processes the template by handling each tag in order, and each tag pulls from different datasources. (As opposed to processing all of one datasource, then processing the next.)
This allows the select tag to use data from another datasource in its select. For example, if you are pulling customer information from one data source, you can then pull data from the sales datasource using the customer ID of the customer presently processing to pull the sales information for that customer. If you're interested in patching together your data from multiple datasources, read this post on our blog.
