“The integration enabled seamless digital signatures for corporate credentials and SAFETM, streamlining approval and management of electronic lab notebooks and regulated documents. Previously, global shipping for signature collection caused delays and costs. The shift to digital signatures allows multiple users to sign instantly, improving efficiency and significantly reducing costs.
“– George S. Rathbun- Director, Worldwide Technology Engineering, Pfizer
Founded in 1849 and headquartered in New York, Pfizer is a leading global biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and distribution of medicines and vaccines.

The company is committed to sustainability, innovation, and leveraging digital solutions to enhance productivity and operational efficiency.
Pfizer’s extensive documentation processes relied on manual, paper-based workflows. Pfizer needed a scalable solution to address these challenges and streamline workflows. Experimental data recorded in paper lab notebooks caused inefficiencies, including:
Prolonged approval
Expensive printing
Poor lab efficiency
Delayed compliance
MSB Docs integrated with Pfizer’s Chemistry Electronic Notebooks (CeN), enabling digital signing workflows. Experimental data is digitally signed by chemists and witnesses, with immediate archival for compliance and traceability.
