Outline of Services
• Centralizing clinical data falls under the functional service provider outsourcing strategy. It has the potential to increase quality while reducing overall costs.
Problems Sponsors Face When Data Is Not Centralized
Solution: Benefits of Centralized Data
Lack of traceability of information Less risk
Difficult cross product analysis, unexplained conclusions when numerous companies handle
data
All data in one place: greater efficiency, consistent communication and reporting using
common assessment methods
Slow resolution of regulatory queries Improved response to regulatory obligations
Unfamiliar with Sponsor requirements Increased Value of Intellectual Property
Dispersed clinical data across a programme of studies
Reduced Costs
Strategic Outsourcing Approach: Centralization of DataStrategic Outsourcing Approach: Centralization of Data
