Transcript Webinar on Successful IRT Partnerships

Successful IRT Partnerships
Given the specialist nature of IRT systems, it is now almost impossible for mid and smallsized pharma companies, and biotechs, to develop or maintain bespoke, internallymanaged IRT systems. Most company staffing protocols simply don't allow for the kind of
infrastructure necessary to maintain such a specialist team, so we must inevitably look
elsewhere for specialist IRT service providers.
BUT..
What happens when individual study teams are given the responsibility to select and
manage their own chosen IRT vendor? How often have we seen one team encountering
seemingly insurmountable difficulties, leading any teams following in their footsteps to
automatically reject that IRT vendor, select another and subsequently experience very
similar problems? How much better could the experience be if we were to invest proper
time and effort with a single selected vendor, over time learning from our mistakes,
improving our procedures and passing on knowledge to the study teams following behind
us?
