Company Background
This organization is a research-oriented, multinational, pharmaceutical firm involved in all aspects of medical care. They are committed to the creation and delivery of innovative treatments and protocols to provide patients with the tools they need for optimum health and well-being.
Objectives
This company had been utilizing an application they developed in-house to perform safety and efficacy analysis on their drugs for FDA reporting purposes. The system was also designed to track the vast amounts of information required to perform this rigorous analysis. After writing this complex application, they realized their forte was not in software design and decided to outsource. They needed an organization that could learn their application as well as support their needs in the United States, England, Canada, and Germany.
Resolutions
Destiny Corporation’s personnel were trained by the organization’s software developers in the United States who, in turn, traveled to the company’s global locations to support local offices in the use and enhancement of the application.
Benefits
The organization achieved its goal by removing the need for dedicated resource system support. This resulted in significant cost savings. They now enjoy the convenience of communicating with one single point of contact in the United States who supports their multiple global locations.
Company Background
Founded by physicians more than 60 years ago, this large Fortune 500 privately-held pharmaceutical company is committed to improving patients’ lives in meaningful ways. They provide safe and effective therapies along with the educational tools that support their proper use.
Objectives
Destiny Corporation has been supporting this organization for several years through various training and consulting projects. Since all of their data was initially collected on a mainframe environment, updated processes needed to be implemented in order to exploit the distributed capabilities and features of a Windows operating system. They also required assistance in building client server applications.
Resolutions
We set up customized training classes for the company’s employees to educate them on the benefits of client server processing as it runs in a Windows environment. They were taught how to communicate with other programs using the latest technology. Mainframe production jobs that processed their data needed to communicate with the Windows environment. Therefore, we demonstrated how to set up spawners in a DHCP environment that would allow mainframe batch jobs to run and automatically deliver the data to their clients for further processing.
Benefits
This technology has helped them leverage their investment in a client server and distributed environment to better process their data and compete in the pharmaceutical industry.
Company Background
This large Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company develops and produces medications and vaccines for a wide range of medical disciplines. Specialties include immunology, oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, and neurology, as well as a host of others.
Objectives
Each evening, the company received patient data and case report updates that needed to be published on the web utilizing HTML and PDF files with bookmarking capabilities. Since the FDA was moving towards the acceptance of these files, this had become a necessity. However, this was a manual process that took up a great deal of time, so they solicited our help in establishing a system that could get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Resolutions
Destiny Corporation introduced the company to automated software that could swiftly complete publishing tasks. We guided them on the use of this software that would provide them with up to the minute reporting and dynamic web pages. The results could then be used by investigators and data managers to track case report form data and the latest information on their studies.
Benefits
Up to the minute reporting and patient data has allowed this firm to concentrate on developing and producing new medications, and eliminated wasted time spent on manual web publishing and processing.
Company Background
This large, Fortune 500 biopharma company focuses on its mission to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to patients with serious diseases.
Objectives
This organization was in the midst of a comparison study between two of their prescription drug trials. They had created each protocol at different times, and needed a way to quickly and efficiently analyze their data, specifically targeting the safety and effectiveness of each.
Resolutions
During this organization’s comparison study, Destiny Corporation assisted in creating statistical programs to analyze safety and efficacy data. We were also responsible for creating tabular reports and models for their statisticians.
Benefits
The company was able to quickly determine and evaluate the comparative results from each of their prescription drug trials. This allowed them to move forward and continue their development of new, innovated medications, and reduced the need for long analysis and comparison.
