Manual Migration vs. XCompare Technology

Human-Led Migration

✘ Traditional migration methods include several lengthy manual processes, including manual copy/paste and manual reviews, which are prone to error.

XCompare Technology

✓ GlobalLink XCompare automates manual migration processes, reduces errors by 97%, and speeds up eCOA migration timelines by 50%.

Manual Source Key Creation

Create a manual source key to identify all the similarities and differences between pen/paper to the electronic version

Automated Migration

GlobalLink XCompare uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect changes between paper and electronic versions and present them in a user-friendly report.

Manual Migration Process

Copy and paste the text manually into an electronic format while trying to implement adaptations.

Subject matter experts are required to do a manual review of every word, making it hard to identify slight deviations.

Automatic Track Changes

All changes are tracked in a comprehensive log for easy scanning, review, error identification, and decision-making.

Manual Quality Control

Relies on tedious, error-prone manual quality control checks across multiple versions of your documents and source key.

Consistent and Objective Quality Control

GlobalLink XCompare detects changes between the proposed target content and the approved paper versions, automatically flagging errors in the electronic translation when no discrepancies are present in the electronic source
