This Life Science Insights study discusses the key components of SAP products and strategy in the clinical trial supply market. Clinical trial supply is closely tied to the large-scale process manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and the technology that SAP offers in both spaces is closely related, leading to some overlap. However, this document focuses only on the supply management and facilitation tools offered by SAP for the clinical trial supply market, as a subset of SAP's larger presence in the ERP space. It includes both a discussion of SAP clinical trial supply chain management capabilities and a general overview of the issues that affect clinical trial supply.
SAP has long been a force in pharmaceutical manufacturing, but only with the recent attention focused on the cost of clinical development have clinical trial supply management tools gained in importance. According to Life Science Insights analyst Judy Hanover, "Clinical trial supply inevitably comes into focus as one of the few causes of clinical trial delays that pharma companies can manage and control."
