Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease) August 16, 2011 - Compliance Implementation Services (CIS), a leading life sciences compliance consulting firm, today announced the launch of CR Partner™, a comprehensive suite of services to meet federal and state Compliance and Reporting obligations. CR Partner is powered by the technologies of its business partner Alanda Software, a developer of an industry-leading Compliance and Reporting software solution.

CR Partner brings people, processes, and systems together to provide the best level of compliance for clients. The Compliance and Reporting service offering features compliance knowledge and operational support for tracking spend across clinical, medical affairs, and commercial activities. CR Partner enables compliance declaration submittals and spend reporting transparency, based on current federal and state requirements; provides regulation and process understanding; helps reduce errors in record keeping; and offers a managed hosting solution for operational efficiencies that is powered by Alanda's Consummate™ AgS software solution.

"State compliance and reporting laws are currently in place for various states and, beginning in 2012, federal law will require life science manufacturers to track certain payments or transfers of value to Healthcare Providers and Healthcare Organizations. Public opinion and increasing government and media scrutiny in this high-risk compliance area can damage the relationship between industry and providers, and are often more damaging than the threat of potential fines," said Kim Life, Esq., VP Commercial Compliance at CIS. "CR Partner services, in concert with our alliance partner Alanda, provide clients with complete operational support for tracking spend and remaining compliant through our trusted data processing approach, back-office support, and ongoing adherence to current and future regulations."

"Alanda's managed hosting solution enables CR Partner to provide a truly comprehensive service offering for compliance, reporting and business intelligence. The system, known as "Consummate AgS," offers an integrated, feature-rich technology platform to help CIS to meet its clients' compliance and reporting needs. Through the use of the Facets viewpoint capabilities of Consummate AgS, the CR Partner service offering empowers CIS to adapt interpretations of disclosure policy to the unique needs of their clients. Consummate AgS will enable CIS, through CR Partner, to deliver best-in-class consultative and operational support to its clients, with limited demands on the client's IT infrastructure and resources," said Dean Rossi, Founder and President at Alanda. "We look forward to working with CIS to further the vision of CR Partner, through collaboration on ways to address the needs of the market and our continued investment in the Consummate™ AgS platform."
