Accell Clinical Research Expands the Use of the CTMS Platform by Flex Databases

Flex Databases, a company specialising in Professional Services Automation (PSA) for pharmaceutical industry, announced today that Accell Clinical Research are expanding the use of the Flex CTMS platform to include its innovative Project Management module.

Accell is a CRO headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia and active in Russia, Ukraine and Baltic States.

"We have been working with Flex since July 2012," said Natalia Nayanova, Director of Clinical Operations and General Manager of Accell Clinical Research. "We are going through an active growth phase, and last year we decided that it was time to acquire a platform allowing us to standardise both our internal and external processes. We looked at the market and Flex Databases were the best available choice for us. Although many factors contributed to our decision (clinical trial experience of the Flex team, their knowledge of the CRO business, flexibility of their platform), we felt that the biggest advantage they brought was the Professional Services Automation functionality — the ability to manage all the aspects of running a service organisation together with the clinical trial process. We are extending the use of the Flex platform by licensing their Project Management module - this will allow us to have full visibility of our projects and have all the relevant information centrally available, in an environment configured for our needs."

"We are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Accell," said Timur Galimov, Technical Director of Flex Databases. "It has been a pleasure to work with Accell who are a dynamic company open to innovation. We are glad to see them leverage the full potential of our platform by adding Project Management, gaining access to features such as bid grid tool, resource planning, dynamic Gantt tables and automated budget updates. Accell took an active role in the relationship, feeding back ideas to us and sharing our enthusiasm for cutting edge technology, and we are pleased to be a part of their success."
