FT. LEE, N.J.-(BUSINESS WIRE)- MWB Consulting Ltd., which advises international clients on development and postmarketing support of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, has joined SAFE-BioPharma Association, the non-profit association that created and manages the global SAFE-BioPharma® digital identity and signature standard for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. The company plans to use SAFE-BioPharma digital signatures to achieve a fully electronic business environment internally and with its clients.

SAFE-BioPharma digital signatures remove the time and costs associated with printing, handling and storing paper documents. Documents can be reviewed, approved and signed using electronic workflows. Approvals that took days take minutes. The digital signature can be used to sign every conceivable form, contract or other document used anywhere in the biopharmaceutical or healthcare industries. The SAFE-BioPharma standard also is used extensively for digital identity management and facilitates interoperability across different information systems.

"Membership in SAFE-BioPharma will allow MWB Consulting to interface more efficiently and seamlessly with clients who also are members," said Mollie Shields-Uehling, president and CEO, SAFE-BioPharma Association.
