ILS selects Provantis for fully automating toxicology data acquisition, analysis and reporting processes

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 3^rd 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.

ILS will additionally be taking advantage of Instem’s Specialized Solution services, a more tailored approach to deployment, offering dedicated client specialists and extended customer care. This program features the Continuous Learning Model, where clients stay closely connected for one year following their first study using Provantis™, with on-demand access to industry specialists to assist with new study designs, refresher learning or anything else needed to optimize their use of Instem solutions.

Provantis™ is a modern, fully integrated software system for single users and global organizations engaged in preclinical evaluation studies. Orchestrating every facet of preclinical drug safety assessment, Provantis™ streamlines processes and workflows with straightforward, intuitive functionality for simple or complex studies within a GLP or non-GLP environment, on-site or over the Web.

Instem & ILS welcomes anyone wanting more information to visit them at this year’s 49^th annual ToxExpo in Salt Lake City, Utah at booths 1201 & 2118.
