Small biotechs (companies having 1-10 studies in their portfolio) are the engine of scientific innovations in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, they are saddled with many of the challenges facing big companies such as data silos (operational, financial, etc.) and challenges to quick access to information critical to managing their clinical trials. This is manifested by the fact that they almost exclusively outsource their studies to CROs and they often do not have mature internal clinical development systems (e.g. CTMS and EDC) or IT departments of their own to manage the disparate data that is essential to effectively managing their studies. During this webinar, you will learn how your small biotech can overcome these challenges by leveraging modern AI-enabled clinical analytics platforms via Software as a Service (SaaS) and avoid the infrastructure costs that are commonly observed in big companies.
