Functional Service Provider

The challenges of today’s biopharma industry are driving companies large and small to evaluate their product portfolios, operational delivery and resources to uncover smarter, faster and more cost-efficient ways to work.

Outsourcing on an individual study basis does not always address the need to:

  • Accelerate timelines and decrease time to market with more efficient use of resources.
  • Decrease drug development costs without compromising quality and safety.
  • Drive growth while outsourcing non-core activities to reduce infrastructure costs.

Quintiles has a dedicated Global Functional Resourcing team offering a full range of Functional Service Provider solutions, including:

  • Clinical Monitoring – See how we helped a customer get up and monitoring sites in 25 countries more than half a year early.
  • Data Management – See how we managed 35-40% of a customer’s work globally.
  • Biostatistics – Learn more about how we helped a customer handle their biometrics for 20 concurrent studies more efficiently without sacrificing quality.
  • Pharmacovigilance – Learn more about how helped a customer setup a scalable and cost effective way of handling up to 100,000 cases per year.

Quintiles is the only provider with the breadth and depth to deliver FSP solutions on a program, geographic, or therapeutic basis. We can:

  • Provide resources (people, processes, systems) across multiple studies in any therapeutic area.
  • Help you access new and emerging markets without investing in physical infrastructure and minimizing fixed costs and investments.
  • Manage and execute a full therapeutic portfolio on your behalf.
  • Drive productivity through Six Sigma, BPM and other continuous improvement methodologies.

We are currently delivering 38 ongoing FSP projects with a broad spectrum of solutions. And as of 2011, Quintiles has supported 800 studies (enrolling 63,000 patients at 15,000 sites, in 60 countries), involving 2,000 Quintiles FSP monitoring staff and an additional 1,400 Quintiles staff delivering FSPs in data management, biostatistics and pharmacovigilance.
