Instem, a leading provider of early drug development software solutions,
announced today that Integrated Laboratory Systems (ILS) has subscribed
to Provantis™ Online, enhancing their existing software systems.
“Instem’s hosted solution is a true turn-key system, so the time
required by our staff to get their system validated and into production
is significantly reduced”
Headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, ILS is a
multidisciplinary research organization providing comprehensive support
to federal and commercial clients in the environmental and health
sciences.
After reviewing all commercial alternatives within the preclinical IT
market, ILS chose Provantis™ as the most comprehensive solution to fully
automate their toxicology data acquisition, analysis and reporting
processes. By using Provantis™, they will be able to reduce costs,
execute more studies and deliver increased value in shorter timeframes
to their sponsors.
“Instem’s hosted solution is a true turn-key system, so the time
required by our staff to get their system validated and into production
is significantly reduced,” comments Brad Blackard, COO at ILS. “We felt
that using Provantis™ over the Web provided the best fit for our
business model and allowed our limited IT resources to be leveraged more
efficiently.”
Using Instem’s hosted remote delivery model offers simpler, more cost
effective ways to provide software functionality, maintenance, and
support over the Internet. ILS will have complete in-application access
to their data just as if their software was deployed on-site, yet they
no longer require additional hardware or dedicated resources. Removing
the need for on-site software ensures clients like ILS can access the
latest major releases of Provantis™ without the delays and costs
traditionally involved with site-based installations.
Instem’s turn-key subscription includes all 3rd party
licenses such as Oracle, Outlook and SAS, along with training,
maintenance, unlimited help desk support and Instem’s Validation Pack.
Since 2005, Instem has utilized a military-grade data center based in
the US, which is being used by clients running GLP and non-GLP studies.
