Oracle E-Pedigree Programme
 
First Ondemand, Authentisec™ and the Oracle E-Pedigree Programme
 
 

First Ondemand's Authentisec™ solution can be integrated into client applications and also work with Oracle''s E-Pedigree for Healthcare and Life Sciences solution to provide a comprehensive set of capabilities to uniquely identify, track, trace and authenticate drug chain of custody.

Based on Oracle's mature, proven technology and First Ondemand''s FIPS 140 compliant secure identity platform, E-Pedigree and Authentisec enables pharmaceutical companies and drug distributors to quickly and easily respond to public pressure and legislation requiring safe and secure drug chain of custody.

Key Objectives for Combating Counterfeit Drugs

  • Prevention of counterfeit drugs entering the supply chain
  • Identification of counterfeit drugs
  • Minimizing risk and exposure to consumers of counterfeit drugs
  • Avoidance of unnecessary costs to the prescription drug system

E-Pedigree and Authentisec will enable:

  • Encryption, authentication and redemption capabilities
  • Protection of Brand integrity
  • Identification of counterfeited, diverted and tampered drugs
  • A foundation for an enterprise-wide information architecture to track, trace and authenticate pedigrees
  • Foster improved communication among supply chain partners as well as enhanced use of information
  • Flexible management of pedigree information

What does this mean?
Pharmaceutical companies and drug distributors can safeguard the drug supply chain by using the Oracle's E-Pedigree for Healthcare and Life Sciences solution integrated with First Ondemand's Authentisec solution to efficiently manage information at every level. It can also be used to transmit and authenticate electronic pedigrees when these organizations send and receive pharmaceutical products in the open supply chain. Integrated with First Ondemand's Authentisec solution, users can also secure identity and provenance of a drug.

The solution can turn the drug supply chain data into valuable operational intelligence. In fact, Oracle Sensor-Based Services, a component of the E-Pedigree solution, provides support for all the critical processes involved with industry-driven standards for the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) to support the use of RFID transactions.

How does Authentisec integrate with E-Pedigree?
Integration of Authentisec with E-Pedigree is achieved by using standard interfaces.

  • Oracle's E-Pedigree solution delivers an integrated approach across the entire drug distribution value chain
  • Oracle's Business Intelligence (BI) Platform is seamlessly integrated to manage the entire business continuum
  • The Oracle BI Platform allows organizations to manage resources and costs across manufacturing and distribution and to tailor the applications to meet local regulatory requirements
  • Oracle technologies can also unify information from all systems - both Oracle and third-party solutions - delivering analysis built on a single, shared definition of an organization's suppliers, partner products and services
