Merck Deploys Aris Global's Register™ Globally

Stamford, CT - June 26, 2007

Aris Global, a leading provider of software solutions for the Life Sciences industry, today announced the global, enterprise-wide deployment of its Register™ product to support the manufacturing division of Merck & Co., Inc.

Register™ is Aris Global's comprehensive web-based solution for the tracking and management of all product registration and renewal activities on a global basis. A modular system, Register facilitates regulatory compliance and improves department/corporate efficiency by distributing critical intelligence regarding a company's products throughout their organization.

"The role of regulatory affairs is critical in ensuring successful product registrations and renewals in each market. However, as the number of products, product variations and potential markets increase, regulatory affairs often has to rely on manual, disconnected or semi-automated IT systems," said Simon Sparkes, vice president of global sales and marketing at Aris Global, "This often leads to compliance issues and inconsistencies between Regulatory and Manufacturing."
