Challenges
The client faced a slew of challenges that have been highlighted below:
- Given that the existing windows-based content authoring tool was developed 20 years ago, scalability was an issue
- The issue of the tool’s poor performance impacted productivity
- There was a lot of manual dependency, leading to errors
- The client was not able to cover the existing public domain comprising:
- 45,000 identified sources
- Structured and unstructured data coverage
- 310,000+ clinical trials, 440,000 investigators, 77,000+ drugs, 165,000+ sites and 255+ diseases in eight major therapeutic areas across 166 countries.
- Accuracy and timely availability of the data was a necessity, given that more than one million records had to be searched
