Yesterday, I was fortunate to have been able to present with Pfizer at Oracle Health Sciences Connect 2019 on Perficient’s implementation of Oracle’s Siebel Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS) in the Oracle Cloud for the company. On stage at @OracleHealthSci Connect with @pfizer, discussing our implementation of #Siebel CTMS in the #Oracle #Cloud for the […]

This year, the event takes place in Philadelphia from April 9–10, 2019. Perficient will deliver three presentations throughout the conference, and we invite all of you to […]

In Siebel IP2016, the Sybase database was replaced with Oracle’s own XE database. The switch has presented some advantages and some drawbacks. One of the advantages is that you can have multiple instances. In my case, I have one instance for each IP2016 project that I am working on. This is the blog that I […]

A new utility was provided with Siebel version 16.0 (i.e., IP2016) that is quite useful. OracleXEConfig allows you, as a developer, to have multiple Oracle XE instances on your computer and enables you to quickly switch to one that is active. It also allows you to create empty local databases. This is extremely useful if […]

I recently started working on a project where I am using Siebel IP2016. IP2016 uses Oracle XE for local development and requires a lot of free disk space to create and initialize the local database. I use Oracle’s excellent (and free!) VirtualBox version 5.2.8. The specific virtual machine that I was using was a Windows […]

Recently, a client running Siebel 8.1.1.4 had developed a complex report. If the report were run for a small-to-medium set of data (controlled by querying the data in the user interface (UI)), the report would complete successfully. However, if the report were run for the entire set of data, the report would fail after a […]

Now that January is here, I thought it would be neat to look back at what our readers found most interesting last month. Below are the top five blog posts Perficient’s life sciences practice wrote in December – they’re ranked in order of popularity, with number one being the most viewed piece. Shared Investigator Platform (SIP) Struggles […]

You know how you implemented that regulated IT system a few years ago, and it was all shiny and new, and then it went through a bunch of change controls and the validation documentation got kind of unwieldy, and now you’re kinda wishing you could start over with a clean slate, but without losing the […]

This is perhaps the biggest complaint we hear from both sponsors/contract research organizations (CROs) and sites/investigators. Sponsors and CROs dedicate countless resources to researching and addressing payment questions and concerns raised by site personnel, and site personnel often feel frustrated, undervalued, and distrustful of sponsors and CROs that do not pay them as promised. When […]

At first glance, having outdated contact information for sites might seem like a pretty minor issue. But when it results in delays related to required documents, monitoring visits, or clinical supplies, the issue quickly becomes more serious. It might be easy to keep a sponsor or contract research organization (CRO) in the loop when a […]
