Generis

Generis is the company behind CARA, an AI-powered, unified platform for content, data, and process transformation designed specifically for regulated industries. CARA consolidates complex business processes, data, and content onto a single platform under a single license fee, eliminating the technological and financial burdens associated with maintaining a network of individual, siloed systems. The platform serves a broad range of organizations including life sciences companies, government agencies, food manufacturers, and other enterprises operating in tightly regulated environments, with more than 1,000,000 users relying on Generis solutions worldwide.

At the core of CARA is an enterprise-wide "information lake" that allows data and content entered once to flow seamlessly across all business processes. This enables users to create, locate, and re-use information instantly across the organization, accelerating work, improving accuracy, and driving greater efficiency and efficacy in day-to-day operations.

The platform guides employees through each step of their processes, automating time-consuming tasks and intelligently surfacing the information, notifications, and context needed to complete work.
• Document Management: CARA provides robust versioning, workflows and approvals, virtual documents, and document discovery and classification capabilities, representing a significant upgrade over legacy systems lacking these features.
• Collaboration Tools: The platform enables enterprise-wide collaboration with controlled access for users, partners, and affiliates, combining specialty functionality with world-class security features to drive workflows at speed while keeping data secure.
