A modern alternative to legacy MLR platforms

Emerging biotech and mid-sized pharma teams are seeking flexible, AI-powered alternatives that reduce review timelines, lower operational costs, and improve compliance. ERMA Evaluate™ was built for the realities of modern MLR review.

The challenges with legacy MLR systems

Many traditional MLR platforms were built for a different era of pharmaceutical marketing. As content volumes increase and regulatory expectations evolve, organizations often run into the same obstacles.

Lengthy implementation timelines
Expensive consulting & configuration
Rigid workflow structures
Limited flexibility for change
Complex user experiences
High total cost of ownership

What modern MLR teams need

Today's life sciences organizations require more than workflow management.

Flexible workflows

Modify workflows, reviewer assignments, timelines, and approval paths without extensive configuration projects.

Faster time to value

Implementations should take weeks — not months — and begin delivering value immediately.

AI-powered compliance support

Identify claims, match references, surface regulatory risks, highlight unsupported statements, and recommend reviewers automatically.

Cost efficiency

Enterprise-grade functionality without enterprise-level pricing, with predictable costs that scale alongside growth.

The future of MLR review

Intelligent, flexible, and AI-driven

Organizations are moving away from rigid legacy systems toward solutions that adapt to evolving regulations and growing business requirements. ERMA combines AI-powered claims identification, automated reference assignment, regulatory intelligence, configurable workflows, and rapid implementation in a single platform.
