Choosing the Right CTMS for Your Clinical Trial Using a 4-Step Evaluation Process

When investigating any new software product, we are all tempted to look first at functionality. “What does it include?” is often one of the first things we ask potential vendors. Shopping for a clinical trial management system (CTMS) is no different. There are even fancy CTMS scorecards with a point-by-point feature comparison that promise to make our jobs easier so that we can more readily see how one stacks up against the other.

But with so many CTMS solutions on the market, and with each making similar claims, using a scorecard to evaluate a solution based on features alone can be frustrating. Seamless integration, flexibility, and streamlined clinical operations are but just three claims that almost every CTMS provider makes.

They all seem to offer the same thing, but do they really? Unless you’re an IT expert, knowing the questions to ask which go beyond the scorecard can be a huge task. Moreover, not asking the right questions can lead to unpleasant surprises after the contract is signed.

Say goodbye to traditional scorecards and disappointment after it’s already too late to switch. Say hello to instant transparency and confidence in your CTMS evaluation process by implementing our common sense needs-based evaluation process.

In this webinar, our speakers will provide you with a behind-the-scenes view of how to avoid common evaluation pitfalls. The speakers give you a definitive set of questions you should be asking potential vendors which go beyond basic functionality, as well as a concise 4-step process that will get you on your way to a solution that fits your organization perfectly.
