As Industry moves towards the implementation of a comprehensive set of systems for the conduct of clinical trials it is important to establish a set of standards for the integration and automation of these platforms and higher level processes and indicators. Through the alignment of technology with processes and the definition of clear metrics, we are able to gain better knowledge and control of the overall clinical trial process, allowing us to identify bottlenecks and make adjustments. This session concentrates on the use of Business Intelligence and Business Process Management software to integrate people, platforms and processes so as to better control the clinical trial process from synopsis to submission.
