    Your Journey to eCOA Accreditation

    Translations and eCOA migration is a key rate-limiting factor to study-start-up. Sponsors are looking to their eCOA suppliers to ensure their tech is set up for multi-lingual content, and also forward-thinking for items like automation and library re-use.

    This accreditation has been put in place with a singular goal in mind – to give Sponsors faith and trust that your technology is equipped to handle multi-lingual content and most-importantly, you are ahead of the curve with best-in-practice processes. This is where we come in!

    Achieve the highest level of accreditation with a customized road map based on your company’s current standing between our Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels. The accreditation meeting process includes:

    1. Initial Consultation

    An initial consultation is set to determine the eCOA company’s current compliance status in relation to Silver, Gold, and Platinum Standards.

    2. Certification Report Shared

    A detailed report is then shared which outlines the steps for achieving the next level of accreditation, customized to your company's unique needs.

    3. On-Going Consulting to get you to the next level

    Ongoing support and guidance as needed is established through regular correspondence and meeting cadence to address questions and progress towards accreditation.

    4. Certification Awarded

    Official recognition is awarded to your platform for complying with the required standards.

    5. Annual Check-in

    A yearly review is established to confirm that there are no significant changes made to affect the platform's accreditation status. TransPerfect will also provide insights on latest trends and innovation in the eCOA space for continuous improvements and innovation.
