Why Web-Based Portals?
SAVES TIME • Web-based solutions available 24/7/365• Instant document distribution & submission• Easy version control and information access• Speeds study start-up process – faster site activation• Allows online monitor review prior to visit• Dashboard view of status, to-dos, calendar, etc.• Maintained and supported by the vendor, so no burden to IT
SAVES MONEY • No more paper processing, overnight mail, FTE time, etc.• Web-based, so no more laptops• Shorten trial duration — reduced monitor, advertising, CRO costs• Speed time-to-market — beat competitors, enjoy longer patent protection time
ADDS SECURITY AND CONTROL
• Document locking and protection• Varied user access privileges• Ability to instantly add/remove users from the portal• Detailed record of all portal activity• 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

The Importance of Site Acceptance, Adoption and Use of a Portal • The value of a portal is directly
correlated to site adoption and use
• Lack of, or partial, site adoption and use leads to:
• Running the trial using multiple communication methods: portal, hard copy, email, etc.
• Portal reporting loses value because it does not include all data
• Portal status and completion dashboard will be incomplete because it does not include all sites
• Time is not saved, and processes may even take longer
• Money is not saved, and processes may even cost more

C O N F I D E N T I A L7
Why Sites Hate Portals: The Challenges
CHALLEGE REASONIts An Additional System • Sponsors with their own proprietary portals do not eliminate a system
from the site’s world, they add one• Perpetuates the issue of having a different system for every trial• Have to remember another set of credentials
Its Technology • Site personnel are hired for their clinical skills and medical/research experience, not computer skills — the level of tech savvy varies widely
• Requires taking time out of their day to receive training• Have to remember yet another technology interface, not common
across trials or sponsors
Its Not a Priority • Site personnel are in their profession to help people and provide patient care, not to spend time at a computer
Don’t See Direct Value • Portals are seen as providing value to the sponsor, not to the site (no time or money savings realized by the site)
C O N F I D E N T I A L8
Why Sites Love Portals: The Benefits
BENEFIT REASONEliminates Paper • No more copying, mailing and filing
• Reduces or eliminates paper storage in the office
Easy Access to Information • Immediate, online access to most recent versions of documents• Site dashboard provides a quick view of what SSU documents are
outstanding, requests and questions, calendar• On-demand training is available 24/7/365
Reduces Administrative Time • Intuitive, easy-to-use interface streamlines the process and communication with sponsors, allowing site personnel to focus on patient care
• Vendor maintenance and support eliminates the burden from the site
Reduces Complexity • A neutral portal used across sponsors and trials eliminates multiple systems, interfaces, training and credentials

The Site Perspective — Too Many Systems
The majority of sites work with more than one sponsor on five or more clinical trials*
This requires sites to access numerous systems and manage a burdensome number of credentials
