Pharmaceutical

The pharmaceutical industry is widely recognized as one of the most sensitive industries in the areas of intellectual property and patent protection and has thus been reluctant to move its more vulnerable communications process into the world of email and the Internet. That situation is now changing.

CertifiedMail allows pharmaceutical companies to securely transmit research and development information via email. The benefits in efficiency and cost containment are potentially huge:

• Confidential drug trial instructions and reports can be transmitted electronically
• Diagnostic test images and other large laboratory-generated documents (up to 2GB) can be exchanged via secure transfer
• Intellectual property protection and patent filings can be undertaken via email

Additionally, at the pharmacy/consumer level, individuals can post confidential medical questions online using CertifiedMail's Secure Contact Us and Secure Forms web communications channels, and receive answers over the same confidential channel without any special software on their home computers.

Here are just a few of the benefits:

• Protection of confidential information in transit over the Internet: Enjoy the same level of security for email communications as you would with hard-copy document courier services.
• Ease of implementation: CertifiedMail secure messages can be sent directly from a web browser or email client, with no special software required by the sender or the recipient.
• Industrial-strength encryption: Documents are never exposed during their journey over the public Internet, and are stored in encrypted format on secure servers after transmission.
• Confirmed delivery: When the message is opened, a receipt is sent which contains the date and time when the message was read, along with the IP address of the recipient.
