A Deep Dive into Enterprise Pharma’s Content Efficiency Problem
Date: August, 2022 | Category: Quality | Author: Hana Trokic
Highly Regulated Products and Services
By definition, pharmaceutical regulations are the combinations of legal, administrative, and technical measures that governments take to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of medicines, as well as the relevance and accuracy of product information.
Regardless of the quality control agency, organization, or administration, there is a constant among them all; their main task is to ensure the utmost quality, safety, and efficacy of the drugs that make it to market, along with the accuracy of their product information.
With enterprise pharma being one of the most highly regulated and monitored global industries, this is no simple task. The risks are far too high as the consequence of pharmaceutical errors can lead to large recalls or worst-case scenarios such as potential life loss. They can also lead to a negative brand image and reputation, which is particularly harmful to pharma companies that rely on customer loyalty as a central selling point of their highly specialized products.
Practices and workflows must also be extremely efficient with the slightest possibility of error. The seemingly simple mistake of a typo, an added or removed letter, number, or hyphen can have catastrophic consequences not just for the company but for consumers as well. Ultimately, drug regulations mainly focus on ensuring product safety, but who guarantees the quality and accuracy of the content and artwork?
Enterprise Pharma’s Content Efficiency Problem
In such a highly regulated industry, it would be assumed that efficient and streamlined workflows are already in place to ensure that the content behind every product is accurate and error-free. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
Errors in pharmaceutical packaging, labeling, and product descriptions are still regular occurrences that cause detrimental consequences, from consumers’ well-being to the integrity of the products and company. In fact, it’s estimated that 50 percent of all pharmaceutical recalls are related to errors in labeling or packing artwork.
What’s more, they are much more frequent than one would imagine, as clinically important drug recalls occur approximately once per month in the United States. For perspective on just how significant these financial impacts can be, Johnson and Johnson lost roughly $600 million in sales after closing a distribution site due to a recall. Another infamous recall occurred in 2012 when Pfizer recalled approximately 1 million packs of birth control pills due to incorrect packaging.
Overall, the noted top recall causes in pharma are due to incorrect labeling, defective products, and incorrect potency. Common mistakes in packaging and labeling are necessary information missing from artwork, content errors, and technical errors such as flawed barcodes, while these errors in documentation, print, and packaging can result in a multitude of problems.
To avoid recalls caused by content errors, companies must inspect the artwork at every step of production, ensuring the accuracy of the text, labels, design, braille content, and barcodes. Innovations in automation now allow pharmaceutical companies to implement all-in-one quality control platforms that check text, spelling, artwork, graphics, braille, and barcodes at every stage of production.
Automation as a Solution
Bringing a pharmaceutical product to market is one of the most complex and highly sophisticated processes in business globally. However, one major piece is broken – the documentation proofreading process.
Many large global corporations have yet to implement efficient and effective workflows that allow them to proofread content in record time with complete accuracy. They still heavily rely on manual and labor-intensive proofreading processes that are prone to costly mistakes. Taking hours, days, or even weeks to check a single document is not a probable solution for large corporations producing and distributing millions, if not billions, of products daily. These inefficiencies in workflows allow for the massive potential for these processes to be optimized and streamlined.
The solution, thankfully, is simple, and it lies in using automated quality control to look over all content and artwork with complete ease, at lightning speed, and with increased productivity and accuracy.
To keep up with increasing global consumer demands, pharmaceutical companies are creating almost immeasurable amounts of products, each with its own packaging, labeling, and written instructions. All of this content needs to be meticulously overlooked, carefully checked and proofread to ensure that the final product is entirely error-free. Manually proofreading these neverending amounts of content is simply not an efficient solution for organizations that must keep up with growing demands.
Automated proofreading software offers a foolproof solution to ensure all this generated content is checked and proofread to perfection. This advancement in proofreading processes eliminates the need for manual document inspections and leaves it up to technology. The software conducts digital checks looking for discrepancies in text, spelling, graphics, color, and more. While this could be done manually, the software finishes proofreading processes in a fraction of the time and ensures that your work is 100% accurate before going to print, avoiding the need for multiple inspections downstream.
Automation ultimately increases productivity and workflow efficiency and offers endless benefits unmatched by manual inspections. Not only does automated proofreading software help ease the proofreading process, it simply makes proofreading better, optimizing workflow processes and allowing for the completion of proofreading tasks with complete and utter ease.
Try it Out for Yourself
While traditionally, manual inspections were the only method used to proofread content, modern-day technology has allowed for faster and more efficient solutions to get the job done right. With endless benefits and countless advantages to any enterprise pharma team’s workflow, automated quality control is the leading solution for pharmaceutical companies that deal with sensitive and highly regulated documentation in an extremely high-risk industry.
Don’t let your organization fall behind by using outdated methods. Make the switch today and turn to modern, innovative solutions to keep your workflows efficient, accurate, and error-free. Start reaping all the benefits of GlobalVision’s automated solutions and solve your content efficiency problems today.

How Johnson & Johnson’s Labeling Team Scaled their Quality Review Process
Date: July, 2022 | Category: Customers | Author: Gabriella Naguib
For over 20 years, GlobalVision has been helping Johnson & Johnson teams globally through the power of automation technology. Enabling automated quality checks throughout their packaging workflows is the backbone that has made this partnership so fruitful and successful. From the Consumer Health division to their internal Medical Device giant Ethicon, the nature of J&J’s regulated products makes the need for error-free packaging components an absolute necessity.
We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Sarita Ranade, Business Process Lead at Ethicon, to discuss how she and her team at Ethicon have benefited since implementing the GlobalVision Web (GVW) software. GVW is one of GlobalVision’s ironclad web-based products, which allows for swift and accurate file inspections throughout the packaging development process.
Sarita’s department, Worldwide Labeling, had set out to start bringing some parts of their complex labeling process in-house. With so many moving parts, the need for automation and streamlining became imminent.
The Challenge: Inefficient and Tedious Manual Review Tasks
Before GVW, this labeling group within Ethicon, which also extends to parts of J&J’s Depuy Synthes and BioSense Webster divisions, was burdened with the tedious task of manual comparisons between all file revisions. They now benefit mainly from the two core GVW Modules: Text Inspection, a letter-for-letter comparison between two files within seconds, and Graphics Inspection, allowing them to overlay two documents and highlight all changes detected.
Given the complexities of their process, the GVW software offers a level of simplicity when it comes to proofreading: discard intended changes between versions and flag critical or non-intended changes for further investigation.
When it comes to medical device labeling, each and every word must be carefully considered for any typos, insertions, deletions, location issues, and event fonts and formats must remain compliant. Sarita worked closely with GlobalVision’s Susan Proper to ensure that GVW was the right choice for her team, ensuring that the software detected all changes and that the usability met their needs.
Ethicon’s samples were sent over for testing, and the Labeling team underwent a trial period with hands-on training, which ultimately informed their decision to move forward with GVW. Speed, accessibility, and user-friendliness played a significant role as the team found GVW to be fast, easy to navigate, and easily accessible through their web browser.
The Solution: Quicker Inspections and Decades of Trusted Accuracy
Since going live in February of 2021, the team has noted two major ways in which their workflow has improved: they are able to save considerable amounts of time by running the files for a quick inspection in GVW, and they have acquired somewhat of an insurance, allowing them to focus on pressing day-to-day tasks with peace of mind that their latest working version is free of any potential errors. One of their favorite features is the Zoning tool, which allows you to inspect specific text regions while ignoring the rest of the document.
This partnership has allowed for decades of successfully streamlined and efficient workflows and has resulted in consistently accurate packaging and labeling, eliminating the risk of content and artwork errors that can otherwise result in detrimental company downfalls. GlobalVision’s trusted line of quality inspection products has proven to be a key component in J&J’s quality mandate, and GlobalVision aims to maintain a strong partnership for years to come as it continues to offer the most cutting-edge innovations in automated quality control technology.

Verify 2021.4 – Annotating Files, A Deeper Look
Date: February, 2022 | Category: Company | Author: Hana Trokic
Verify’s Intended Changes Feature
Digital content creation is synonymous with the term ‘revision.’
As copy is being created, changes are constantly being made, resulting in multiple versions of a document or file. These revisions are usually communicated through various annotations such as highlights, underlines, callouts, cross-outs, comment bubbles, and many more.
Verify was designed to point out any difference between revisions, yet, with our upgraded version, Verify 2021.4, users can now further specify whether instructions in the annotations have been executed correctly.
Introducing Verify’s Intended Changes feature, a new way to communicate instructions from pre-saved annotations. This feature answers questions such as, “Is this an intended change or an unintended change?” and “If this is an intended change, was it executed properly?“
This feature allows users to see annotations on the document as difference cards while reviewing the results after running an inspection. It further enables users to create “differences” that will show up in the report on the off chance that instructions on the annotation were not carried out correctly.
These newly added differences can also include reviewer comments further explaining whether the annotation’s content is valid, if further actions should be done, or if other errors should be rectified.
With the release of GlobalVision‘s cloud-based inspection tool, Verify 2021.4, the process of proofreading is now even more integrated into the asset creation process than ever before.
Annotating files: A Deeper Look
The asset development and approval processes are non-linear and heavily fragmented. When creating a document, multiple revisions are required to get the message across. As mentioned previously, instructions are carried out in the form of annotations explaining what needs to be changed, replaced, or removed.
Verify has extended its tools and become a platform that allows users to act on the differences detected instead of just pointing them out. In this example, the file has gone through at least two revisions, considering that one of them features an annotation instructing the graphic artist to add the number ‘2’ (change to 1,2).
After running the inspection, the proofreader will look at the results tab and go through each one of the different cards. One of them will be the change difference as one file has ‘1,’ and the other has ‘1,2’ superscripted.
Additionally, since the difference was expected to appear (intended change) the proofreader will be able to see if it has indeed taken place.
With Verify 2021.4’s annotation communication feature, the proofreader can manually add an annotation difference by singling out the ‘1,2’ and confirming that the instructions were applied.
How are we Communicating Changes?
Once the proofreader confirms whether the instructions have been followed, they can enter a comment in the new annotation card that gets added to the difference list, as explained previously.
Verify 2021.4 has predefined comments in a dropdown menu that the user can choose from, be it ‘approved’ or ‘rejected. If the context in which the instructions in the annotations do not fit one of the offered options, the user can simply enter their own comment.
What Else Is New in Verify 2021.4?
Full Page Graphic Compare
Users can now run an image comparison on the entire page of the uploaded document by checking a box instead of manually zoning all pages.
Communication of Graphic Differences
This feature allows users to manually create annotations around the actual differences within a graphic region in the results tab. These new annotations allow users to comment on all differences within a graphic zone to pinpoint them accurately.
Medical Dictionary
English languages now have the option that includes a medical dictionary when enabling Spell Check.
Navigating through Grouped differences
When navigating a duplicated difference, arrows can be used to review all duplicates easily.
Run fast and accurate inspections throughout your file creation and approval process by using Verify.

Date: February, 2022 | Category: Proofreading | Author: Hana Trokic
To keep up with increasing global consumer demands, most companies in various industries need to create immeasurable amounts of written content. From packaging to digital to marketing, all of this beautifully created content needs to be carefully checked and proofread to ensure that your final product is perfect.
Thankfully, we are sparing you the arduous Google search for “best proofreading software” and getting straight to the solution; GlobalVision’s automated proofreading software offers a foolproof solution to ensure all of your beautifully created content shines. No errors, no mistakes, just the content you create living its best life. The way it was intended.
This advancement in proofreading processes eliminates the need for manual document inspections and leaves it up to technology. The software conducts digital checks looking for discrepancies in text, spelling, graphics, colour, and more. While this could be done manually, the software finishes proofreading processes in a fraction of the time and ensures that your work is 100% accurate before going to print, avoiding the need for multiple inspections downstream.
This advancement in technology ultimately increases productivity and workflow efficiency and offers endless benefits unmatched by manual inspections. Not only does automated proofreading software help make employees better writers and content creators, it simply makes work better, optimizing workflow processes and allowing the completion of proofreading tasks with complete and utter ease.
Keep it Simple, Stupid, With Proofreading Software
Simplify workflow processes through digital, automated solutions
Workflows work best with you seal them with a KISS. Like most things in life, overcomplications usually lead to more bad than good, and simplifying processes is a surefire solution to getting back on track. Automated proofreading software simplifies workflow processes that ultimately lead to better, more efficient habits and practices. In order to be more productive in the workplace, practices need to be instilled that allow you to get tasks completed more quickly without compromising on the quality of the work.
The implementation of automated quality inspection will enable you to rely entirely on digital verification while almost completely reducing and eliminating the need for manual proofreading.
Automated proofreading eliminates the need for these overly complicated processes and simplifies it down to only a couple of steps. Once the content is created, the software inspects the entire file looking for discrepancies in the master document and the print.
Errors will be identified in seconds, with the software pinpointing all differences in the document. All that’s left is to make the necessary corrections and you are ready to print and publish your content with complete confidence.
The software also eliminates the need for large teams to overlook proofreading processes and brings it down to just a few people and the software. Proofreading times are also heavily decreased as the software thoroughly inspects all aspects of the document finding errors that would be extremely difficult to find through manual inspections such as those of colour, graphic, and barcode deviations.
Get to Market Faster
Use proofreading software to get your products to market in record time by removing time-consuming and error-prone manual checks
Productivity is defined as the rate at which a worker or a company produces goods and the amount produced, compared with how much time, work, and money is needed to produce them. In other words, how fast can something be produced in the least amount of time using the least amount of money?
Automated proofreading software speeds up inspection and revision processes to a fraction of the time typically needed for manual inspections.
It also improves inspection accuracy by conducting digital checks for errors in text and graphics. Lightning-fast technology allows you to compare documents at rates as high as 1000 characters per second while also ensuring the integrity of your work.
Once the software has done a full scan of your content, it generates an inspection report that allows you to review and navigate through all found differences. All document errors are highlighted to enable you to make adjustments and corrections in little to no time.
GlobalVision‘s all-encompassing proofreading technology compares content at every workflow stage and creates a reliable, repeatable, and scalable inspection process as files move from one stage to the next quickly and efficiently.
All in all, not only does it speed up the verification and proofreading processes of your workflow, but it also expedites the subsequent revision and correction process. You can drastically reduce proofreading time and ultimately increase productivity through several if not all inspection channels with automated proofreading software.
