eTrials: Sooner than You Think?

For over a decade, the industry has dabbled in eTrials, but we aren’t yet “wired” to recognize them for their ease of use. Barriers to the full adoption of eTrials include challenges around adopting new practices while in the midst of trial preparation, managing evidence in a streamlined fashion, and the need to share a common platform.

During this panel presentation, we will discuss how the cloud is removing these barriers and impacting productions and trial prep, making “Dropbox Trials” and “iPad Trials” a new reality. You’ll gain a solid understanding of the range of tools available along with their associated costs, while discovering the practical uses and strategic advantages of these technologies.
