 Perceptive Informatics
Part One: Taming Technology Chaos
A Vision of eClinical’s Future
Sponsored by Perceptive Informatics
For more than a decade eClinical technologies have been steadily transforming clinical trials for the better. This paper explores a four phased, 25-year model of the evolution of eClinical technology and its adoption by sponsors. It includes a deeper-dive into trends in market consolidation, data integration, convergence and analytics of the technology space.
Accunet
Building a Scalable Big Data Infrastructure for Dynamic Workflows
Sponsored by Accunet
Big data is creating new IT infrastructure challenges by increasing performance demands and adding management complexity. An ideal solution tightly integrates servers, storage, and network elements to optimize performance and reduce administrative chores. This white paper discusses how Accunet architected a new infrastructure for NCI for its big data efforts.

Laboratory Management for Clinical and Research NGS Labs
Sponsored by Sapio Sciences, LLC
Genomics has revolutionized the life sciences industry, enabling the visionary science envisioned by the Human Genome Project. No other industry has seen processing speed advancements and the corresponding costs drop as significantly as genomics. Now with next-generation sequencing (NGS) providing the ability to sequence entire genomes rapidly and at low cost, organizations are now wondering how they will handle the related samples, processes and data in an NGS lab.  This whitepaper outlines the important considerations for managing NGS lab operations in both a research and clinical context so NGS lab managers know what to consider when seeking a LIMS/ELN solution.
Computype
Fast and Accurate Sample ID in the Lab
Sponsored by Computype

Laboratories - whether clinical, analytical, or pure research - can scarcely automate today without barcodes.  While other technologies may someday offer more cost-effective ID techniques, barcodes are generally the best technology for positive sample identification within modern labs.

-  How Do Barcodes Work?

-  Which Barcode Symbology Should Be Used in the Lab?

-  Labeling Challenges in the Lab

Bio-IT World Survey
2013 Annual Life Sciences IT Survey

This exclusive survey is the first in an annual series of reports in which we will diagnose key trends in the life sciences IT space by interviewing key opinion leaders in the industry.
eClin and BioClinica surveys
Clinical Trial Management Systems Survey
Sponsored by BioClinica and eCliniqua
In January 2013, eCliniqua and BioClinica conducted a survey within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector on Clinical Trial Management Systems.  The purpose of the study was to determine how clinical trial management systems are used, what types, and for which purposes as well as the processes used within the organizations of the respondents.
Bio-IT World Surveys
High Performance Computing Usage and Buying Survey
Conducted September 2011
Sponsored by Bio-IT World
The purpose of the study was to determine present and planned usage, and purchasing insight into high-performance computing (HPC) products (servers, storage, software, computing infrastructure) used in driving scientific work related to drug discovery, development and clinical trials.
