WARSAW, POLAND - Oct 28, 2014 - KCR, a European Contract
Research Organization (CRO) operating across 19 European countries
and in the US, has turned to the cloud in a move to improve
cross-functional collaboration and trial operations. KCR will
replace the mix of paper and file-share solutions used to manage
trial master files with Veeva Systems cloud-based content
management solution, Veeva Vault.
By adopting Veeva Vault, KCR will achieve greater organizational
effectiveness, resulting in significant time and cost savings. The
new system will allow the company to develop an easily accessible
environment within a flexible cloud architecture, in order to
provide transparency throughout the whole trial process.
For KCR, innovation means ongoing development, combining new
technology solutions with a progressive process design.
Implementing Veeva Vault will not only improve efficiency of the
clinical trial process, but also give us absolute control over
documentation status, noted Mike Jagielski, President & CEO of
KCR.
Veeva Vault will ensure better project management through easy,
real-time access to the same document from all countries of
operation. It also provides and stores e-signatures, a new
capability required by a majority of life sciences companies,
according to the Veeva 2014 Paperless
TMF Survey. By adopting e-signatures, KCR will avoid
unnecessarily signing, delivering, and scanning of documents,
leading to a far more efficient document handling procedure.
Moreover, the system will streamline the archiving process and
significantly improve inspection readiness.
Many CROs lag in technology adoption, still relying on outdated
paper-based systems to exchange clinical documents, said Rik van
Mol, Vice President of R&D Strategy at Veeva. Leveraging
advanced cloud technology, KCR can differentiate itself by
delivering better access, visibility, and control.
The decision to adopt cloud technology reflects a wider trend
across the industry, as Kaia Koppel, Innovative Technologies
Implementation Manager at KCR, explained, By standardizing on
Veeva Vault for cloud based content management, KCR continues to
offer life sciences companies access to latest innovations - a
critical element of our development approach in a competitive CRO
market. For KCR clients, Veeva Vault will result in process
transparency, easy trial control and efficient Trial Master File
(TMF) transfer at study conclusion. Solutions such as this one are
becoming increasingly important to the clinical research
industry.
KCR and Veeva will be present at the upcoming Partnerships in
Clinical Trials (PCT) Congress in Barcelona, 5-6 Nov 2014 at booths
#801 and #413 respectively.
