Program Description:

The “Platform Approach” - New Concept or Old News
The concept of providing users with software tools to create as they choose has been around for a while.  Microsoft has delivered its mainstay solutions such as Excel and Word for years. Scientists still use these solutions to collect their study data and create their own reports.   Why?

These tools are not only familiar to scientists, but they give them the flexibility to design their studies and collect and report data the way they want or need to.  This process, of course, creates more unnecessary work, an environment for inconsistency, data inaccessibility and QA and reporting headaches.

Rigid study-specific software creates data silos and bottlenecks in the R&D Process, costing companies’ time and money.   Whereas the “Platform Approach” offers life science organizations the flexibility to manage multiple study-types, conduct studies their way, and have control over the consistency of process, naming conventions, how data is collected, reported and managed in a regulatory environment. 

This complimentary web symposium provides insight to the value the Platform Approach can bring to an organization’s bottom-line utilizing the eStudy Scientific R&D Platform and leveraging the content by interoperating with SharePoint.


Key Learning Objectives: 

• Why the PARADIGM SHIFT?  Understanding the Pros and Cons of the Platform Approach vs. Study-Specific software
• Understanding the R&D and Business Value Gained with Platform Flexibility and the Lasting Impact it can have on your Bottom-line
• How the Transition from Paper Processes and/or Rigid Systems to the eStudy /SharePoint Platforms can actually ease internal resistance to change
• How eStudy is mapped to your organization to Manage Multiple Study Types, Aggregate Disparate Data, Interface with Instruments, LIMs and Third Party tools
• How eStudy allows you to DESIGN Studies, Data Collection Notebooks, Templates for data collection, report tables and report documents;  CAPTURE DATA in a secure 21CFR Part 11 Environment with Audit Trails; and GENERATE REPORTS IN SECONDS
• Leverage Data and Content Collected for On-line Collaboration, Workflow, Document Management, Enterprise Search, Business Intelligence, and Key Performance Indicator Dashboards
• Simplifying the validation process with a 100% Web-based Solution
  

Who Should Attend:
