Ahead in the cloud – a new home for clinical trial data - Pharmaceutical Technology

Ahead in the cloud – a new home for clinical trial data - Pharmaceutical Technology

As the volume and complexity of clinical trial data grows, scientists need new ways to filter information. Elly Earls speaks to SAFE Bio-Pharma's Mollie Shields-Uehling and IBM's Chris Hines about why moving to the cloud could reduce clinical trial costs, accelerate innovation and ultimately improve patient care.

Cloud computing allows companies to avoid building their own IT infrastructure. Instead, a third party provides an online platform or 'cloud' on which members of a particular organisation who have the necessary security clearance, as well as their collaborators in different locations, can share resources, software and information.
