Kaplan EduNeering and ProtonMedia Announce Alliance
Kaplan EduNeering, a provider of compliance and knowledge management technology solutions, and ProtonMedia, the developer of the ProtoSphere virtual collaboration environment for the high-performance workplace, announced a new multi-year partnership. The companies will develop and offer a comprehensive suite of tools for compliance training, product life cycle management (PLM), and collaborative decision-making for life sciences organizations.
Kaplan EduNeering's online compliance solutions are used by over one million individuals in more than 50 countries by companies in regulated industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biologics, dietary supplements, and medical devices.
ProtoSphere is a virtual collaboration environment for the high-performance workplace, and one of the top virtual environments for collaborative product life cycle management (PLM) in life sciences. ProtoSphere's virtual environment provides an arsenal of business-focused collaboration and communication tools that help companies accelerate decision-making and raise productivity, improving workplace performance overall.
Together, Kaplan EduNeering and ProtonMedia will create a best-of-breed 3-D virtual collaboration environment, driven by the compliance tracking engine of the Kaplan EduNeering Platform. Kaplan EduNeering's expertise in delivering solutions that help companies meet regulatory and compliance requirements will augment ProtonMedia's ability to effectively foster product life cycle collaboration within research, development, production, marketing, and customer engagement phases. This combination of core competencies delivers a transformative enterprise tool for collaborative decision-making and compliance.
"Life sciences companies are facing an increasingly complex and constantly fluctuating regulatory landscape," says Ron Burns, CEO of ProtonMedia. "Requirements must be met surrounding every aspect of their business, including product life cycle management. Our alliance with Kaplan EduNeering combines the benefits of virtual meetings, document sharing, and collaboration, with the compliance capabilities of the Kaplan EduNeering platform. The result is a virtual workplace that lets companies collaborate across every stage of their product life cycle, while meeting compliancy standards."
