But, one particular comment posted for a Wall Street Journal article caught my eye. The article was discussing the increased use of mobile apps in clinical practice. 

  And that was just this past year. So, I think it’s fair to say that Oracle’s software is the cream of the crop in the life sciences and healthcare industries. According to a press release issued by the company, close to 100 life sciences companies have signed on to use Oracle’s clinical and safety […]

Looking for these little gems isn’t time consuming or difficult as long as we are aware of the system’s capabilities and are able to capitalize […]

It’s no secret that validation can be a bear. All of that documentation and testing, the multiple phases with pesky transition gates, a million reviews and approvals…it can really slow down an IT project, which often leads to questions about why on Earth we bother with it.

A couple of weeks ago, a client of ours discovered a problem in the production (PROD) environment of one of their clinical systems. In the initial system implementation, they had opted for a single environment (without a sandbox, development, training, test, or validation environment), so they found themselves with no separate environment in which to […]

Digitally signing documents is easier than you might think. It’s also much faster than having to print, sign, and scan them. And, of course, there’s a significant cost-savings for companies that frequently mail and store hardcopy documents. A product like CoSign can be a great solution for companies, especially those in highly-regulated industries that require […]

It’s no different when pushing a new drug or device to market, regardless of how big your market is. One of the most important pillars in your strategy should be patient support. For those […]
