SAN FRANCISCO, April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- endpoint
Clinical, the leading global interactive response technology (IRT®)
company, announced today the launch of their partnership program,
ConnectionPOINT™, the first of its kind in the eClinical technology
space. The program's vision is for a guided convergence of a
curated network of eClinical providers that are leaders in
innovation in their domain and dedicated to shifting towards more
thoughtful, next-generation interfacing.
"While this is our official launch of a partnership program, we
have been collaborating with best-in-class eClinical technology
providers to help transform the future of drug development for over
a decade," says Ryan Keane, CCO,
endpoint. "What we have learned in taking on that commitment
of building relationships and technology for such a long time is
that you can see farther together to drive the industry forward and
also have the real ability to reach, and then exceed, those common
aims. ConnectionPOINT is the culmination of that success. It
gives sponsors the peace of mind that traditionally disparate
systems across multiple eClinical providers are not only
communicating seamlessly with one another but pushing boundaries of
speed and data efficiency that do not exist in today's eClinical
ecosystem."
The core mission of ConnectionPOINT is to nurture a sustainable,
scalable infrastructure amongst a network of strong, vetted
partnerships in support of eClinical business and technology,
predicated on the principles of creating opportunities, driving
innovation, and harmonizing delivery across the
ecosystem.
One of the most compelling applications for these strategic
alliances is the reinvigoration in the alignment of technology and
service lines that are typically viewed as discrete, essential in
their own right, and have familiar legacy intersections – but are
now poised to generate new disruptive opportunities. Here is what
some of endpoint's partners are saying about the already-recognized
benefits of ConnectionPOINT and achievements through their existing
technology interfacing with endpoint's IRT:
"When TSS and endpoint came together to explore what our
companies could accomplish together in our space, we knew instantly
that more than the easy wins of legacy touchpoints like basic
shipment monitoring was possible," says Evan Hahn, Vice President North America at TSS,
a leading global provider of temperature monitoring technology and
services. "All of the conversations at every level between endpoint
and TSS -- from CEOs to technical SMEs to Business Development
-- all quickly resonated with the idea of how far can we push
and prepare this part of the ecosystem for changes coming at the
industry and a greatly increased need for real-time data and
functionality sharing around temperature monitoring. It was clear
that endpoint and TSS would quickly assemble the practical,
expected foundation of an integrated approach. Then, move
right behind it with the next generation of 2-way, real-time
integration that works past the shipment level through to the
article level, applies to site inventory as well as the standard
shipment need, and is ready to operate in all frontiers where
wireless monitor technology is opening this space up. That's
exactly what we did. That straight-line to a goal doesn't happen
without both organizations being highly aligned."
"One of several direct data collection (DDC) options within
encapsia®, eSource DDC holds significant promise for the industry
as a standalone option, but its major benefit is bringing
simplicity to the complex clinical trials ecosystem of technology
and services. To that end, over 2-and-a-half years ago, we
leveraged the dynamic architecture of encapsia with the
hyper-integration approach endpoint uses in a joint effort to
tightly connect systems into one continuum of experience for the
sites and study managers alike," says Temitope Keyes, Executive Director at Cmed
Technology. "The encapsia and endpoint teams have demonstrated a
deep commitment to partnership, client success, technological
innovation, and thought leadership in the industry that drives our
mutual ability to deliver a highly harmonized set of systems
together successfully. We provide an intuitive and seamless
solution for clinical supplies and clinical operations workflows,
always in compliance while utilizing dynamic data in
near-real-time."
The spectrum of possibilities can extend from deep interfacing
of products to new business models – and require all of the
above.
"Systems and tools created by our industry are often very
protocol-specific and driven by the needs of the sponsor. As a
result, sites are often left with myriad applications to learn as
well as the associated login credentials to manage and remember,"
says Rick Malone, Business
Development Executive at the McCreadie Group. "We are seeking
solutions that allow research pharmacy teams the flexibility to
complete duties in the workflow they prefer while delivering the
protocol-specific needs of the sponsor. We are thrilled to be
working with a like-minded partner in endpoint that sees the
merging of site needs and sponsor needs via our "first of a kind"
integration as a win for all parties involved. McCreadie Group and
endpoint have invested over a year developing a solution that makes
life easier for sites while providing sponsors with improved data
integrity and timeliness."
"As much as it is a promise to leverage the collective
expertise, strengths, and obvious benefits of direct interaction
between partners, we acknowledge that it is also creating a
challenge to those who join this collective," says Vincent Puglia, Sr. Director of Strategic
Alliances, endpoint. "Consistent engagement, deepening
conversations, breaking down barriers, entertaining new business
models, and tirelessly asking 'what's next?' and 'what else can we
do?' is a considerable commitment. It won't be for everyone, but
for those that adopt a mission like ConnectionPOINT, the quality of
the returns cannot be overstated."
