Linda Carlson, Serono, Inc.
Jennifer Chow, Pfizer, Inc.
Lorenda Dasher, Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Abstract: Functional outsourcing across projects has become more popular in recent years. As companies begin to use a core competency outsourcing strategy, more functions are beginning to be looked at as a target for outsourcing. Smaller specialty providers are becoming functional providers for services normally outsourced to CROs as part of a full program. These services include: Investigator contracts, consulting and other service agreements, regulatory document processing, medical writing, and site identification, to name a few. The panel will discuss the reasons behind this change, the pros and cons of this outsourcing strategy, and present case studies of their own experiences. The panel will discuss the internal resources needed to manage this model effectively and the ROI companies have experienced when outsourcing these functions. The panel will consist of two large pharma and one biotech sponsor that are actively using this model to achieve time and cost savings, as well as consistency across projects and programs.
