When the going gets tough, the tough get … creative.
The search for the best resourcing solution sometimes defies a single answer. That’s when Premier Research combines outsourcing, insourcing, and geographic flexibility to devise a hybrid solution.
Rethinking data operations
A small oncology-focused biotech company presented such a challenge when seeking to contract out its data management services. We responded by embedding Premier Research staff at the company’s offices near Boston and locating heads-down data managers in home-based offices around the country — 20 people in all, comprising the client’s entire data operations function.
By assigning back-room functions to remotely located people, we helped the small company overcome space constraints at its headquarters and avoided the facility costs associated with housing people for whom geographic location was not a factor.
In a similar arrangement with a pharma company in Connecticut, we situated heads-down staff in low-cost Slovakia, achieving significant cost savings and effectively extending the client’s workday by way of the six-hour time difference.
The right balance
