Case Study: PPD increases clinical trial tracking speed and efficiency with PA Consulting

Maximizing the value of a major technology investment with the right processes

PPD, a leading global contract research organization, worked with PA Consulting to get more value from a major project management technology investment. The challenge was to better track clinical trials while improving how projects and finances were managed across a global organization.

PA Consulting interviewed PPD staff and assessed how the organization worked, then recommended process changes to improve project and financial management. As a result, PPD reduced the effort needed to estimate and manage individual projects, improved forecasting quality, strengthened reporting for better decision-making, and increased the speed and efficiency of tracking clinical trials.
