End-to-end clinical data management solutions safeguard data integrity

To safeguard data integrity and better equip study teams, we offer the technology, processes and expertise needed to deliver quality data across a broad range of therapeutic areas, electronic data capture (EDC) technologies, third-party vendors, Phase I-IV clinical trial services, and advanced data cleaning strategies through our end-to-end clinical data management solutions.

Our data managers are more than technologists; they’re data stewards, working to drive real-time data collection and management and consolidate disparate data sources. By combining clinical trial data from a single study or a collection of studies, at the compound or portfolio level or from external vendors, we significantly increase data transparency and the quality of decision making.

To optimize communications and interactions, our employees span all time zones across the globe, providing 24-hour seamless coverage between on-site and virtual teams. This allows us to place our client-facing roles in the same time zones as your functional and clinical teams, enabling the combined team to become a unified, dedicated group integrated within your data management function.

Through our proven approach, we collectively create successful teams, encourage knowledge sharing and produce positive, productive interactions throughout the duration of our partnership.

Customized solutions and staffing to best meet your needs

Flexible models delivered by empowered teams

We work directly with you to provide the best outsourcing model for your project, including a flexible mix of systems, processes, oversight and facilities. We can embed staff within your workforce or take the business fully in-house using our innovations and technologies. Our project teams are empowered with the flexibility to provide solutions that meet your unique needs and include a customized mix of roles.

A typical team may include a group lead (associate director/director) who oversees processes, timelines and contracts and ensures quality standards are met. A clinical data management project lead assigns resources, manages the budget and contract, and evaluates the project for risk management and contractual changes. A clinical data management team lead works with the clinical data management project lead to maintain responsibility for all project activities and deliverables. Multiple other staff roles, as needed, fill out the team.
