Best of Class Model
PharPoint’s Organic Approach for Staffing Clinical Trials
Executive Summary
PharPoint Research has an excellent reputation in effectively managing clinical trials, but what
has made us unique is our ability to identify and focus on the areas where we are truly
exceptional, and partner with other clinical trial service providers to perform services outside
our core expertise. This self-aware approach has allowed PharPoint Research to grow from a
boutique consulting firm into a dynamic and strategically focused company that excels at
providing the following clinical services:

Clinical Operations

Biostatistics

Project Management

Data Standardization

Data Management

Data Warehousing
Focusing on these core competencies has produced a model of efficiency that benefits any
organization. Specifically, this model brings value to our clients by providing a tailored team,
mitigating the risk of unexpected delays, and lowering cost.
Partnering for Success
PharPoint considers every sponsor’s needs to be
unique and deserving of personalized attention.
With extensive, global experience in all phases of
clinical development, including patient registries
and program strategic consulting, we offer our
clients a wide range of therapeutic area expertise.
Our devotion to client satisfaction is demonstrated
by our holistic and responsive management of each
clinical trial, tailoring our team as the needs of the
client and the study evolve.
PharPoint begins new relationships by listening to a
client’s likes and dislikes from studies previously run
by other CROs. This allows PharPoint to match our
project managers with the client’s preferences and
offer suggestions on how we can incorporate
PharPoint best practices to eliminate issues that
occurred with previous CROs. The most frequent
complaint we hear is in regards to the previous
CRO’s resource management strategy for assigning
“experts” to a particular study.
Client’s often express how larger CROs attempt to only use in-house personnel to deliver all of
the services required to support their clinical development rather than building their service
offering around the actual in-house expertise and then partnering to provide a total solution for
their clients. This approach leads to service providers that are “masters of none”. PharPoint’s
best of class team building approach provides our clients with a team of veteran personnel,
each of whom are accomplished specialists in their particular field and possess a wealth of
experience working in our client’s therapeutic area of research.
Mitigating Delays
Lower Cost
PharPoint Research drastically reduces delays
that may otherwise impact our client’s ability
to complete their trials on time by working
through partnerships to provide services
outside of our core service offerings. As a
part of our partner vetting process we ensure
that our partners have a similar business
philosophy and approach to excellent client
service, and are properly resourced to
manage unexpected study challenges that
could otherwise adversely impact study
timelines.
PharPoint Research reduces clients’ costs
by working with our partners to create a
best in class team of experts without the
administrative overhead. PharPoint
Research only pays for the hours used to
support a particular study, allowing for the
efficient use of limited resources and
reduction of life cycle costs. These costs
are passed through to our clients without a
premium. This is one of the many reasons
why PharPoint’s quotes for clinical studies
are lower than the average CRO.
Our deep bench of experienced personnel
and partners allows PharPoint Research to
deliver scalable studies to meet evolving
requirements, including potential spikes in
workload requirements. Over the years we
have worked with our established
vendors/partners on many studies, and have
excellent working relationships that can
handle the needs of any size trial. This
provides time savings without loss of quality
or expertise.

bureaucracy. Listening to the client’s continually shifting needs, our management focuses on
where we excel and promptly provides efficient solutions for those services where a vendor can
deliver better value. PharPoint Research is ready to work with you to develop a strategy that
meets your specifications and gets your clinical trial on the path to success.
