PharmaPros Launches Dataflow Manager

The Dataflow Manager enables the holistic management of trials across multiple, disparate systems.

PharmaPros, a technical consulting and solutions provider specializing in data and workflow management for clinical trials, recently launched its newest offering, Dataflow Manager, a data-driven solution enabling the holistic management of trials across multiple, disparate systems.

Dataflow Manager is an integrated technology platform that provides in-stream access to operational data from the multiple systems and vendors used to manage today's complex trials. Complementary to many popular technology solutions such as EDC, IVR, and ePRO, Dataflow Manager empowers clinical-trial sponsors and CROs to rapidly and effectively harmonize trial-wide operational data despite disparate systems, different formats, multiple vendors, and far-reaching geographical parameters.

Using the study protocol and data requirements, Dataflow Manager is configured to map trial data through an "expected data schedule." Principled on a federated search, Dataflow Manager executes context-intelligent queries against the data agents and presents the in-stream operational status of a trial through a central interface, eliminating the need to seek information inside each individual data capture system.

"The intent was not to create a central warehouse of clinical data or provide another data capture technology, but to provide in-stream access to the operational intelligence throughout the study conduct regardless of the number of sources/systems that may be used to manage the trial," states Nick Neri, Director of Technology at PharmaPros.
