Infosys unveils cloud-based solution for clinical trials

"The software product will enable pharma companies to respond faster to changes in demand, based on enrollment and patient turnaround during trials as it can be integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, incorporating business processes," Tandon said.

Being cloud-based, the solution will be offered on pay-per-use basis, which will help pharma and biotech firms and contract research units to avoid investing in and managing expensive IT infrastructure for clinical trials.

"With mobility-enabled transactions and remote access capabilities, the solution facilitates real-time data entry for faster decision making," Tandon noted.

The company is showcasing the solution at the three-day 'Sapphire Now' conference being held at Orlando in the US since Tuesday.

"Clinical trials are growing in scale and complexity, driving a need for business processes and systems that integrate the end-to-end activities, decisions and information across business functions," the statement said quoting from a recent Gartner report.
