Integrated Web-Based Clinical Data Handling Solutions

Abstract

Advances in technology, along with the need to accelerate and enhance the drug development process, have rapidly expanded the interest in and use of electronic data capture and management systems. With the proliferation of these systems over the years, we have seen several plateaus, which have described the industry expectations of the systems. The providers of the electronic systems are climbing toward a new plateau—one that will see an expansion of integrated solutions and capabilities. Pharmaceutical companies, which must continuously seek methods of gaining competitive advantage, will further embrace these enabling technologies and will benefit from the harmonization of these capabilities.
