Off-shoring: A Country Attractiveness Index for Clinical Trials
By Mark P. Mathieu
For many years, pharmaceutical companies have been off-shoring manufacturing operations to lower-cost countries. Healthy margins and strong risk aversion have afforded pharmaceutical companies the luxury of staying close to home, for all but manufacturing activities. As financial pressures increase, pharmaceutical executives are finding that going offshore is not only less risky than it once was, but also too attractive to ignore. Read More

January 15, 2010 | Almirall, an international pharmaceutical company, has chosen Perceptive Informatics to provide core solutions in its eClinical Suite for several clinical trials in the respiratory therapeutic area. Through this relationship, Perceptive is leveraging the core capabilities of its eClinical Suite to support Almirall in gaining greater visibility into its clinical trials and improving data access for faster decision-making. Almirall is using the DataLabs EDC (Electronic Data Capture) solution from Perceptive in order to gain a better integrated view of clinical trial data. Almirall also uses other technologies in Perceptive’s eClinical Suite, such as the IMPACT CTMS (Clinical Trial Management System) and the ClinPhone RTSM (Randomization and Trial Supply Management) technologies, to facilitate several of its clinical trials.

The Workflow Driven Lab Many companies have recognized that their internal business units operate as a set of business processes. These business processes are also called workflows. Modern Laboratories are highly suitable to this workflow driven approach. In fact, the lab environments successful operation is predicated on the successful definition and adherence to workflows. It could be said that a modern laboratory is an advanced process implementing construct. It is important that laboratory management software mirrors the process driven nature of the lab thereby increasing automation, shortening learning curves, improving data quality and increasing lab throughput. - The modern laboratory is an advanced workflow implementing construct
- Laboratory Management Software solutions should fully embrace and mirror this process driven approach
- Effective information management of workflow processes with a LIMS results in increased automation, reduced training curves, better data quality and increased lab throughput
