These sophisticated relationships require complex outsourcing strategies, demanding clinical financial planning, extensive sourcing due diligence and rigorous performance management. Currently the industry manages these activities in Excel, using labor intensive, inefficient processes, costing billions of dollars in infrastructure costs, regulatory non-compliance fines and delays to market. Clinical Maestro takes a radically different approach to the management of clinical portfolio through a transformative redesign of Excel-driven processes into end-to-end integrated workflows, breaking the communication and data integration siloes between pharma companies and their outsourcing partners.
