The document summarizes a presentation on CTMS data migration. It discusses four phases of analyzing a potential CTMS data migration: purpose, scope, methods, and timing. For purpose, it examines the business reasons for migrating and risks. For scope, it addresses determining which studies and data types to include. For methods, it evaluates tools and complexity. For timing, it considers aligning with the CTMS rollout strategy. The presentation provides examples and recommends a study-by-study migration approach to pilot the process before full implementation. It demos the ASCEND-Migrate tool and closes with Q&A.
10 Things to Consider When Building a CTMS Business CasePerficient, Inc.
Sponsors and research organizations are often tasked with building a business case for a clinical trial management system (CTMS) before they even evaluate the various solutions in the marketplace.
After multiple successful Oracle Siebel CTMS implementations, Perficient has identified 10 ways you can benefit from a CTMS solution.
In this slideshare we share information that you can leverage as you develop a business case for a CTMS.
We also demonstrate the two most popular CTMS benefits and corresponding features.
Clinical Trial Management System Implementation GuidePerficient, Inc.
Clinical trials account for the majority of the cost in new drug development – a cost that is
constantly increasing. Not only are clinical trials expensive, but they are lengthy, complex
and highly scrutinized. Technology solutions play a significant role in helping life sciences
organizations oversee these critical tasks.
In this slideshare, we discuss:
1. Signs that a CTMS is needed
2. Benefits of a CTMS
3. Preparing to explore CTMS options
4. Developing a CTMS selection checklist
5. Choosing an implementation partner
6. Considering post-implementation support

Integrating Siebel CTMS with Medidata Rave and Veeva VaultPerficient, Inc.
Alliance Foundation Trials (AFT), a research organization that develops and conducts cancer clinical trials, selected Perficient’s Siebel Clinical accelerator, ASCEND, as its clinical trial management system (CTMS). Since the initial implementation they have added integrations with Medidata Rave, a unified electronic data capture (EDC) and clinical data management system (CDMS), and Veeva Vault eTMF, an electronic trial master file system.
Why did AFT choose ASCEND? Why did they prioritize the integration with Rave? What challenges led them to integrate with Veeva? How useful are the integrations proving to be? What are their future plans for their CTMS?
Param Singh, director of clinical operations solutions at Perficient, hosted a one-hour “fireside chat” with Jennifer Gaskin, operations director at AFT, in which Param asked all of these questions, and more.

Healthcare Data Management: Three Principles of Using Data to Its Full PotentialHealth Catalyst
Author Douglas Laney is now tackling the topic of Infonomics: the practice of information economics. In his 2017 book, Infonomics: How to Monetize, Manage, and Measure Information as an asset for competitive advantage, Laney provides detailed rationale as well as a thoughtful framework for treating information as a modern-day organization’s most valuable asset.
This article walks through how healthcare organizations can leverage data to its full potential using this framework and the three principles of infonomics:
Measure - How much data does the organization have? What is it worth?
Manage - What data does the organization have? Where is it stored?
Monetize - How does the organization use data?

Preparing for Your Oracle, Medidata, and Veeva CTMS Migration ProjectPerficient, Inc.
There are multiple reasons why companies migrate to a new clinical trial management system (CTMS). Still, the two most common are mergers and acquisitions (i.e., CTMS consolidation) and the desire to switch CTMS vendors. Regardless of the reason, many of the best practices, processes, and tools are the same.
In this webinar, we looked at the migration approaches taken across several case studies. You’ll come away with an understanding of:
Pros and cons of each CTMS migration method
Types of migration tools, including APIs, ETL tools, and adapters
Approximate timelines and costs associated with each migration method
The topics discussed in this webinar can be applied to any CTMS migration project, whether you’re moving to or from Oracle’s Siebel CTMS, Medidata’s Rave CTMS, and Veeva’s Vault CTMS.

4. Today’s Agenda
Time (CDT) Topic
9:00-9:10 Welcome and Introductions
9:10-9:15 Should We Migrate?
9:15-9:25 What Should We Migrate?
9:25-9:30 How Should We Migrate?
9:30-9:35 When Should We Migrate?
9:35-9:45 Live Demo of ASCEND-Migrate
9:45-10:00 Q&A
5. Should We Migrate? (Purpose)
• What are the benefits of having historical
study data in the new CTMS?
– Comprehensive reporting
– Complete picture of each study
• What are the benefits of having current
study data in the new CTMS?
– All study team members working in one
system within one set of business processes
– More cost-effective for IT to support and
maintain one system
6. Should We Migrate? (Purpose)
• What are the risks of migrating?
– Loss of Functionality: New CTMS might not
have the same functionality as all combined
legacy systems and tools
– Loss of Data: Data could be lost in the
process of cleaning and/or migrating
– Time Lag: Could be a gap between when the
data is unavailable in the legacy system and
when it is available in the new system
– Time Overlap: One study could be available
in two systems before the legacy system is
decommissioned
7. Examples Scenarios
Growing CRO
• Recently secured a new,
global client
• Several large-scale and long-
term studies planned or
already started
• Limited human resources to
manage studies; need to
operate as efficiently as
possible
• Limited IT department to
support systems and tools
Oncology Pharma
• For all studies of all sizes,
need to track subject data,
even after officially closed
• New Clinical Director
requires comprehensive
reporting on study, site, and
vendor expenses
• Recently implemented a data
warehouse
8. What Should We Migrate? (Scope)
• Scoping takes place on two levels:
1. Study: Which studies should be migrated?
2. Data Type: Which types of data should be migrated for all of the studies
chosen?
• Begin with a study-by-study analysis:
– Compare each study timeline to your CTMS implementation timeline,
especially CTMS go-live date and legacy system cutoff date(s)
– For current studies, consider the volume of work that remains, given
available resources
9. Example Studies
EndSoon Study LastLong Study StartSoon Study
Study ends in three
months (before legacy
system cutoff)
Study will continue for at
least one year post CTMS
go-live
Study begins one month
before CTMS go-live
Manageable volume of
work with available staff
Large volume of work Moderate volume of
work, but do not need to
use CTMS for first 2
months
Migrate = No Migrate = Yes Migrate = No
10. What Should We Migrate? (Scope)
• Data Types: Which are available in the new CTMS?
– Contacts – Subject Visits
– Accounts – Adverse Events
– Addresses – Protocol Deviations
– Products – Correspondence
– Programs/Projects – Site Visit Reports
– Studies – Investigator Payments
– Sites – Vendor Expenses
– Subjects – Documents
11. What Should We Migrate? (Scope)
• Which are you currently tracking?
– Contacts – Subject Visits
– Accounts – Adverse Events
– Addresses – Protocol Deviations
– Products – Correspondence
– Programs/Projects – Site Visit Reports
– Studies – Investigator Payments
– Sites – Vendor Expenses
– Subjects – Documents
12. What Should We Migrate? (Scope)
• Which of the remaining data types do you need in the system
going forward? Think:
– Extracting and/or reporting data
• No need for correspondence; no reporting needs
• No need for adverse events; safety system is system of record
– Acceptable workarounds
• Keeping existing vendor payments tool
• Approved site visit reports can be printed and archived
13. How Should We Migrate? (Methods)
• Inventory your source systems: Where
does the data currently live?
– Spreadsheets
– MS Access databases
– Home-grown databases
– Word documents
– Document management system
– Accounts payable system
– Existing CTMS
14. How Should We Migrate? (Methods)
• How many records do you have of each
date type in each source system?
– Use reports or embedded functions that
provide row and column counts
• How closely does the source system
format map to the CTMS format? Think:
– Relationships: one-one, one-many, many-
many
– Attributes: fields
– Data Standards: field contents
15. How Should We Migrate? (Methods)
• Manual migration vs. automated
migration
– Automated options:
• Embedded tools
• Existing external tools
• Custom-built tools
• To choose a method, consider:
– Available tools – Available
staff
– Volume – Complexity
– Budget – Time
16. When Should We Migrate? (Timing)
• Timing depends on your CTMS rollout strategy
– Big Bang: All studies go live at the same time
– Study-by-Study: Begin with a pilot study, roll out subsequent studies one
by one
• Recommendation: Study-by-Study
– Iron out kinks in business processes and training materials during pilot
• Increases user adoption
– Easier to manage training rollout
17. Summary
4 Phases of CTMS Data Migration Analysis
• Purpose: What is the business driver behind the
migration?
• Scope: Which studies do we need? Which data
types do we need for those studies? How will
the data be used?
• Methods: What tools and resources are
available, and how do they fit with our budget
and timeline?
• Timing: What makes the most sense,
considering our CTMS rollout plan?
