About this Panel-style Webinar
Regulatory compliance is essential to creating products within specific industries—like Pharma, FinTech, Healthcare, Finance, HR, and Telecom. But compliance can also be a barrier to innovation and can hinder quickly launching products that customers need.
In this panel-style webinar, our team of experts discussed creative solutions for product creation in regulated industries, with topics including:
- Content modeling and creating a solid content governance plan to streamline regulatory review processes
- Upgrading from legacy systems to improve employee and customer experiences
- Designing and developing a well-structured, accessible site that is easily indexed by search engines and follows expected code standards
- Current industry challenges and how to overcome them
