Electronic submissions

are a challenge to master in the area of crop protection and other regulated domains: How  can documents to be submitted be best indexed, organized and lifecycled? How can dossiers be prepared and managed over time?  What formats can be used to transport the information to authorities? What products, tools and techniques are there?
I have  profound expertise to assist you with those types of questions. 

My profile

My name is Georg Schifferdecker and live in Weinheim, Germany.

I joined Hewlett-Packard in 1997. Within HP I  have been working as senior consultant and solution architect in the area of document management, archiving for more than 20 years, working for customers in public, industry, transporation. Since 2005 I started specializing in the domain of regulatory affairs, especially focused around the creation, management and eletronic submission of dossiers from industry to authority. 

I have been working for multiple global players in thr crop protection domain, helping the companies to rethink and reimplement the system landscape used for electronic submissions, consisting of systems for document management, dossier creation, dossier publication, as well as surrounding systems like reference data systems or planning systems. I worked for the European industry association for crop protection and was responsible for the organization of industry meetings as well as for the maintenance of electronic submission standards.

I have left HP on September 30th, 2017 and since then work as an independent consultant. 

I have certifications for solution architecture (HP ITSA, TOGAF), ITSM (ITIL v3 foundation) and various soft skills and project management trainings. I speak German, English and French fluently.
