Macro vs. Merative Clinical Development

ICD is a good tool for companies currently utilizing multiple software platforms to create and monitor clinical trial information. Due to the price, it is best suited for large pharmaceutical manufacturers with active pipelines and high R&D spend. ICD's value is more limited to smaller, more focused companies.

• Study build process is relatively easy to learn, and there are many tools within the system to help builders throughout the process.
• Outstanding support - both technical / Helpdesk (with system features and capabilities) and project management. Each organization has their own Client Success Manager, and ours is doing an excellent job.
• Periodical enhancements based on the users/clients/s feedback.
• Training materials are very well prepared and organized.

• We cannot have multiple study accesses for a study in the studies supported by IBM clinical. eg. Coder and Data manager.
• Though all the study-build related errors are flagged on the study-build page, some errors like incorrect dynamics applied, which eventually affects the subject PDF extraction, reports, etc.
• When the study is imported from another IBM studies, certain attributes remain running in the background even if it seems to be disabled.

We are satisfied from our experience with IBM, the close collaboration we have with the ICD team is also something we value. We plan to use ICD for a long time

IBM has many different functionalities as well as modules that can be used depending on what the sponsor wants. I like that they are optional so that when building a study, you can give the sponsor options if they want them or not. Many of the optional models I like to use (Training Tracking for example) as they make tracking Site training so much easier than sending training forms out

ICD's support team is phenomenal. They are quick to answer or indicate that they need to research to provide an answer. There are some things that they cannot do which we can be annoying but we deal with it (visit windows). I have been very happy with the support team.

It was easier to understand the usability of the software [ICD]. For our engineers [it] was easier to migrate our data, and fully set up everything. We found out that comparing other software[s], this one is safe, easy to use, has more functionalities, [and it's] easier to work with team members everywhere making clinical trials more efficient.
