Cyclone Commerce and Axway Introduce Healthcare Compliance Suite

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and PARIS - Cyclone Commerce and Axway, which are currently integrating operations following their January merger, today announced the immediate availability of the Healthcare Compliance Suite. The Suite helps companies ensure safe, secure and efficient supply chains while addressing a range of evolving governmental legislation and trading-partner mandates. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, logistics providers and retailers can now take a long-term approach to proactively managing compliance.

According to analysts, companies that buy individual compliance solutions for each mandate will spend 10 times more on IT than companies that take an integrated approach. To meet this demand, the Healthcare Compliance Suite's applications are based on a unique compliance platform, which meets current needs while providing the infrastructure needed to address new mandates as they arise. Current compliance applications included in the suite address controlled substance ordering, drug pedigrees, regulated data submission and distribution program monitoring.

"One of the main reasons we were eager to merge with Cyclone was because of the strength of its healthcare solutions, which is similar to Axway's strategy in the financial services market. We are committed to the original Cyclone vision for serving this marketplace with an integrated approach, and we look forward to continued success," said Christophe Fabre, CEO of Axway.

With regulatory requirements evolving rapidly, companies within the pharmaceutical, retail, consumer packaged goods, and financial services industries are developing broader compliance strategies. They're demanding solutions that ensure compliance today and provide the basis for competitive breakthroughs including inventory track and trace, product authentication and demand visibility. Today's business climate requires that compliance strategies encompass both risk reduction and operational improvements such as total cost of ownership, increased service levels, improved in-stock rates and shorter order-to-cash cycles.

"A primary concern for healthcare distributors like us is having an integrated solution to help address industry mandates as they evolve and change," said Becky Saydak, CSOS project manager for Mutual Drug. "We are looking forward to working with Cyclone and Axway to meet our current goals and form a strategy for long-term regulatory compliance."
