Regulatory Information Management
Bring Regulatory Data, Processes, Submissions, and Compliance Together.
In today’s global life sciences environment, Regulatory Affairs teams manage far more than submissions. As regulatory complexity increases, managing the lifecycle and data through spreadsheets, disconnected databases, emails, different local/cloud document stores and manual processes creates visibility gaps and increases the risk of missed activities, inconsistent data, and compliance delays.
Regulatory Information Management (RIM) provides a structured, centralized approach to managing regulatory information and processes throughout the product lifecycle. With Visu RIM, organizations can establish a single source of regulatory information, connect regulatory processes, standardize workflows, and provide real-time visibility into regulatory activities across markets.

RIM Capabilities Across the Regulatory Lifecycle
Connect Every Regulatory Process Through One RIM Framework
A modern RIM solution connects the activities so regulatory teams can manage the complete regulatory
lifecycle, rather than individual processes in isolation.
Product Registration & Market Authorization Management
Maintain a centralized view of product registrations and market authorizations across countries and regions.
RIM can help Regulatory Affairs teams manage:
- Product and registration information
- Marketing authorizations
- Licenses and certificates
- Country-specific registrations
- Registration status
- Approval and expiry information
- Post-approval activities
- Regulatory milestones
This creates a consistent regulatory view of where products are registered, what status they have, and what actions are required.
Regulatory Requirements & Compliance Management
Global regulatory compliance requires organizations to understand what is required in each market—and continuously assess whether those requirements are being met.
RIM provides a framework for connecting:
Regulatory Requirement → Product → Market → Obligation → Activity → Evidence → Compliance Status
This allows Regulatory Affairs to move beyond static requirements databases toward actionable compliance management.
Teams can identify gaps, monitor obligations, and maintain visibility into regulatory activities across markets.
Regulatory Intelligence & Change Management
Regulations continuously evolve. New guidance, requirements, standards, authority expectations, and country-specific changes can create downstream impacts across products and regulatory processes.
A connected RIM environment allows regulatory intelligence to feed directly into regulatory operations.
From Change to Action:
Monitor: Identify relevant regulatory changes.
Assess: Determine potential impact on products, markets, submissions, labeling, documentation, and regulatory commitments.
Assign: Create actions and assign responsibilities.
Execute: Manage the resulting regulatory activities through controlled workflows..
Track: Monitor completion and maintain visibility into the status of regulatory actions.
Regulatory Impact Assessment
Regulatory change is only valuable to the organization when its impact can be understood and acted upon.
RIM can provide the operational foundation for connecting regulatory intelligence with Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA).
Assess the potential impact of regulatory changes across:
- Products
- Countries
- Registrations
- Submissions
- Regulatory documents
- Labeling
- Commitments
- Regulatory activities
- Internal stakeholders
This transforms regulatory change management from a reactive exercise into a structured, traceable process.
Submission Planning & Tracking
Regulatory submissions involve multiple stakeholders, documents, activities, milestones, and dependencies.
RIM provides centralized oversight of the submission lifecycle.
Manage:
- Submission plans
- Submission types
- Country and regional activities
- Submission milestones
- Content requirements
- Document readiness
- Review and approval workflows
- Submission status
- Regulatory commitments
Visu supports management of submission types such as MAAs, NDAs, and variations through workflow-driven processes.
Health Authority Interaction Management
Regulatory interactions continue long after a submission is made.
Centralize health authority communications, requests for information, questions, deficiencies, responses, and commitments.
This provides Regulatory Affairs with a clear record of::
What was requested → Who owns it → What is the response → When is it due → What was submitted → What remains open
The result is improved accountability and reduced risk of missed regulatory commitments.
Regulatory Documents & Publishing
Regulatory information does not exist independently of regulatory content.
RIM can connect regulatory data and processes with document management, submission management, labeling, and publishing environments.
Visu supports integration with document management, submission, and labeling systems, allowing organizations to create a connected regulatory ecosystem rather than isolated applications.
Regulatory Reporting & Analytics
Regulatory leaders need more than lists of activities. They need actionable insight.
RIM dashboards can provide visibility into:
- Submission volumes
- Regulatory workload
- Activity status
- Submissions
- Approval timelines
- Regional performance
- Outstanding actions
- Compliance gaps
- Regulatory commitments
Visu supports predefined and custom reporting and can connect regulatory data with business intelligence tools.
One Connected Regulatory Lifecycle
Make Visu RIM the Digital Foundation for Regulatory Affairs
Regulatory Information Management is no longer simply about maintaining a database of registrations.
It is about connecting regulatory data, intelligence, processes, people, documents, submissions, and compliance activities into a single, actionable regulatory ecosystem.
With Visu, organizations can move from fragmented regulatory tracking to an integrated, data-driven approach to regulatory operations-supporting the full lifecycle from regulatory planning and product registration through submissions, health authority interactions, approvals, and ongoing compliance.
