Perceptive Informatics Brings More Efficiency to Clinical Development Process With SaaS-Based CTMS Solution

BOSTON, June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Perceptive Informatics, a leading eClinical solutions provider and a subsidiary of PAREXEL International Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXL), today announced that its Clinical Trial Management System is available as an on-demand, software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. The SaaS-based CTMS, which is hosted, maintained and supported entirely by Perceptive Informatics, enables sponsors to plan, administer and track clinical trial activities in a cost effective and efficient manner.

According to Nicholas Richards, Vice President, Product Management, Perceptive Informatics, "Biopharmaceutical companies continue to seek ways to decrease development costs by improving overall efficiency. SaaS-enabled technologies are experiencing tremendous acceptance because they can be rapidly implemented, eliminate up-front capital investment, and decrease associated maintenance. The CTMS solution in a SaaS delivery model is designed for organizations that can benefit from improving clinical trial productivity and reducing operational and IT costs."

The Perceptive Informatics® SaaS-Based CTMS solution allows sponsors to save time in study start-up due to a rapid, flexible, scalable and secure deployment approach supported by Perceptive's eClinical platform. A subscription option provides users with the benefits of an on-premise solution without the need for up-front investments or additional internal resources.

The CTMS solution is part of the Perceptive Informatics eClinical Suite, which provides convergence among systems for real-time data interchange and enables diverse applications to work synergistically. Organizations can maximize the capabilities of the CTMS solution due to its interoperability with the Perceptive Informatics RTSM (Randomization and Trial Supply Management) and EDC solutions, which allows users to seamlessly share clinical trial data without having to duplicate activities.
