What: Webinar: "Business and Operational Risks in Clinical and Safety: Applying Appropriate Technology and Approaches to Mitigate Risk"

All business processes are subject to some level of risk. Key to the long term viability of any company is the critical need to identify the risks, quantify them, minimize them, and have a clear plan for dealing with any residual risks.

Organizations try to mitigate risks by implementing systems that support the company's business processes. Commercial software systems that are available from vendors such as Oracle include many capabilities which, if implemented properly, greatly reduce the risks in the business process.

The implementation of complex systems is, in itself, a risky process. Organizations like BioPharm Systems have been able to use their wide range of experience to develop pre-configured and pre-validated solutions that help reduce the risks during the implementation of a clinical trial management system (CTMS) and a safety system.

This one and a half-hour webinar will provide an overview of business risks related to clinical and safety systems and will illustrate how the risks inherent in implementing complex CTMS and safety systems can be significantly reduced.

For ISVs, SaaS is a new way of doing business. There is no executive handbook on how to best balance the risks and rewards of creating and delivering business or information services online.

The best approach is to learn from the successes and mistakes of others who have beaten down the path before you. Whether you are investigating the potential of the SaaS model, looking for a path to SaaS friendly venture capital, or want advice on some of the operational pitfalls to avoid, this webinar will help.

When you attend, you'll hear lessons learned from SaaS CEOs and SaaS enabling vendors such as Microsoft and Tenzing, and you'll have a chance network with peers who face the same challenges and opportunities.
