Will address accelerating trend of cloud computing in clinical trial operations to achieve greater efficiencies

CHICAGO, IL – April 8, 2011

ClearTrial, the leading provider of software for the planning, forecasting, and tracking of clinical project and financial performance, announced today that Andrew Grygiel, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management for ClearTrial, has been asked to present at the 10th Annual Bio-IT World Conference & Expo.  Attended by more than 1,700 life sciences, pharmaceutical, clinical, healthcare, and IT professionals from 29 countries, the conference provides the leading venue to share information and discuss enabling technologies that are driving biomedical research and the drug development process.

Grygiel will speak on "Utilizing SaaS-based Software to Optimize Clinical Development," reflecting a growing trend to expand the use of cloud computing beyond R&D to include clinical development.  Biopharmaceutical and medical device companies are turning to new types of software to accelerate clinical development while reducing IT infrastructure costs. Attendees will discover how Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications are enabling study sponsors to reduce study cycle-times and costs—while maintaining study feasibility.

"Technology is reshaping how sponsors are conducting clinical development, and leading life sciences companies are starting to reap the benefits in terms of cost containment, increased efficiency, faster time-to-value, and risk mitigation for their clinical trials and IT infrastructure," noted Grygiel.  "Software-as-a-Service applications are also proving to present ideal platforms to support forward-thinking sponsors as they revamp business processes in light of the current operating environment."

The 10th Annual Bio-IT World Conference & Expo is being held April 12-14, 2011 at the World Trade Center in Boston, Massachusetts.  For more information or to register, visit http://www.bio-itworldexpo.com.
