CRO Reports Successful Start to Year

PAREXEL has had a positive year so far with several key announcements. In April, the company’s technology subsidiary, Perceptive Informatics, a leading eClinical solutions provider, released an enhanced version of its comprehensive IMPACT clinical trial management system (CTMS). The developments include improved data entry as well as site management and monitoring capabilities designed for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies of all sizes. The system has more than 26,000 users in studies of up to tens of thousands of subjects and millions of visits. Perceptive’s enhanced version is a customisable platform that gives managers the flexibility to define the information that is most important to their clinical trial and configure it accordingly.

PAREXEL also recently received the ‘Three-Star Special Employer Brand Award’ in Berlin’s Best Employers Competition. The award is sponsored by the Helmut Schmidt University, the IMWF Institute for Management and Economic Research and the Berliner Morgenpost. The competition evaluated the brand and reputation of the 160 largest employers in the Berlin metropolitan area. PAREXEL was recognised for its deep commitment to fostering a positive workplace, instilling corporate values and creating an open culture that encourages contribution and attracts global talent.

Lastly, PAREXEL’s latest research report, Strategic Partnerships 2013, is the first to explore the current outsourcing landscape and examine the value that strategic partnerships provide to biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes. According to the report, executives believe this more integrated approach to clinical development reduces their level of oversight, decreases fixed costs and provides access to capabilities not found internally.
