At Sanofi, managing clinical drug trials was primarily a paper-based process. The logistics of managing this paper-based process for dozens of concurrent trials was daunting, expensive, and time consuming. The company wanted to optimize this manual process with a streamlined digital signature-compliant document management solution operating in a global, web-based collaborative framework. To do this, Sanofi implemented a clinical trial portal, which is based on Microsoft SharePoint portal and collaboration technologies. 

What attendees learnt during this webinar:

  • The business benefits that Sanofi expects to realize from their clinical trial portal
  • The advantages of the SharePoint platform in implementing the solution
  • The challenges faced and lessons learned
