The Ultimate Clinical Trial Suite, Delivered.
The Clinical Trials Industry uses eClinical solutions to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Vendors offer integrated software suites, but a truly unified solution is necessary for optimal efficiency. Fountayn offers such a solution by integrating its suite of products for effective clinical trial design, delivery, and management.
Fountayn Was The First…
Fountayn's whitepaper "The EDC Value Proposition to the Pharmaceutical Industry" prompted innovation and diversification in eClinical technology, resulting in the development of unified eClinical platforms. Fountayn was the first to combine EDC and IRT in their cloud-based platform, but using multiple vendors created data duplication and risk due to proprietary database architectures and fractured clinical data in separate silos.
To avoid wasting time and resources on integrating disparate IT systems handling strongly-related data, pharmaceutical companies can wait for data standards to become more widely adopted, contract with eClinical vendors that offer pre-integrated products, or locate a vendor that provides multiple core functionalities.
Open Data Standards
Tech vendors are disincentivized to push for standards as they benefit from locking in customers with proprietary formats. Standards expose dominant vendors to competition from smaller companies. The FDA's PDUFA V reauthorization will develop clinical data standards and implementation guides. Fountayn, as an agile company, has embraced open data standards and is compliant with seven CDISC standards to date.
Before industry standards were established, multiple eClinical vendors were contracted. As integration was outsourced, single-product vendors acquired complementary products, but integrating them can be challenging and creates data silos that require migration and manipulation, causing issues with a unified solution, even if sold under a single vendor's brand.
Fountayn's platform was designed to work together from the beginning, so it doesn't require data migrations or manipulation.
Integrated eClinical platforms can result in higher costs, time-consuming data migrations, and limited product development. The Fountayn Platform eliminates the need for data migrations, reduces errors, and allows real product improvements without data silos.
Choosing a vendor with a complete suite of products designed to function together can simplify and reduce risks of integrated solutions and data silos. Cloud-based service models can also decrease silos with end-to-end infrastructures included in a unified solution. Fountayn offers a unified eClinical solution that allows real-time data access without downtime or synchronization issues. A common interface and system architecture simplify training and reduce timelines and costs. Unified solutions are flexible and allow innovation without breaking existing features, targeting the needs of clinical trials and patients for improved data quality.
Fountayn's data platform is fundamentally different from other purportedly "unified" products that misuse the term.
Fountayn built a unified platform with a full suite of products that can be used individually or together seamlessly. Each product was designed as part of the whole, allowing them to take advantage of their relationship in ways that integrated products cannot. Think of the products like light switches that work together because they are all part of the same solution.
