Many companies in the life sciences industry experience rapid global growth, both organically as well as through merger and acquisition. While growth is, of course, great and welcome, it also comes with some challenges. With respect to clinical operations and clinical trial management, aligning processes can be rather challenging as different parts of the business […]

Previously, I discussed iHelp and all the assistances it provides. This blog looks at the end-user benefits that Oracle’s Cloud Siebel CTMS iHelp provides. One of iHelp’s key end-user benefits is that the content is available on demand, directly in Siebel – there’s no need to dig through a user manual or even divert your […]
