Functional Service (FSP)
Customized, Flexible Solutions for a Fast-Changing Industry
Functional Leadership and Support—Sized to Your Needs
At Premier, being a Functional Service Provider (FSP) is about offering you the best of both worlds — the capability and stability you expect, combined with the agility and personalized attention you deserve.
For rapidly scaling global companies determined to advance life-changing medical treatments, the path from concept to commercialization is multifaceted. You need deep expertise across multiple functional areas — but scaling quickly can strain resources. Premier solves this challenge by providing localized or expanded functional leadership and service teams — sized to your needs — staffed with dedicated experts who advance your science without overburdening your bottom line.
Our processes and best practices, refined over decades, allow us to integrate legacy knowledge with your specific needs to build customized, fit-for-purpose strategies that drive success.
