What EXTEDO does

EXTEDO is a privately held German-headquartered software company specializing in Regulatory Information Management (RIM) for the life sciences industry. Founded approximately 25 years ago, the company serves three primary customer segments: large pharmaceutical and life sciences companies managing extensive portfolios across multiple jurisdictions, SMBs and Contract Research Organizations seeking cost-effective regulatory solutions, and over 35 national and regional regulatory agencies including the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The company operates from its Ottobrunn (Munich) headquarters, with regional offices in Malvern, PA (Americas) and Zagreb, Croatia, and is part of the cormeo ecosystem alongside Rote Liste, Docuvera, and medicines.ie.

The company's core product is EXTEDOpulse, a modular end-to-end RIM platform built on the Generis CARA technology foundation. The platform is organized around five integrated hubs — Document Management, Registration Management, Submission Management, Safety Management, and Quality Management — with sub-modules including eDOCSmanager, eCTDmanager (submission publishing), eSUBmanager (submission viewing), EURS/EURSnext (agency reviewing), EURSvalidator (technical validation), eCTDtemplates (1,300+ pre-formatted templates), and SafetyEasy (pharmacovigilance via AB Cube partnership). A notable technical capability is the proprietary Forward Compatibility Bridge, developed in collaboration with the EMA pilot program, which enables eCTD v4 submissions to reference documents originally filed in eCTD v3 without re-upload, maintaining continuous application lifecycle. The platform supports eCTD v3, eCTD v4, and NeeS formats, exposes APIs for agency integration, and is deployable on AWS and Microsoft Azure.

EXTEDO generates revenue primarily through recurring software licensing and subscriptions (annual regional validation packages and platform modules), supplemented by professional services including regulatory publishing, business process and regulatory consulting (pharmacovigilance, eCTD, IDMP, agency services), technical consulting, education and training, validation services, and extended support. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales from Germany and the USA with a global channel partner network of over 20 certified professional, consulting, and technology partners spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. Distribution is supported by thought-leadership content marketing (blog, webinars, case studies), industry event participation, and dedicated Technical Account Management for strategic accounts. The company claims over 70% market share among eCTD-accepting authorities, over 1 million submissions managed on the platform, and over 98% customer retention over the last five years.
