Healthcare research is leaping into the future aided by technological advances. Regulatory agencies across the globe, while becoming more stringent on compliance requirements, are fast harnessing the technology adoption by simplifying the guidance on electronic records and submissions. While Technology has been playing a major role in the core research, the industry is yet to catch-up with adoption of software solutions used for monitoring this research, especially Clinical Trials on Humans. The market place is crowded with big and small technology vendors offering multiple software products/platforms. High license costs, integration challenges, low tool adoption and huge manual efforts, are still plaguing the Industry.

Sufficing the requirement of an apt technology partner for pharma industry is Bangalore based SyMetric Systems that happens to be the first to envision the need for an ERP like integrated IT platform for managing the Clinical Trials. SyMetric Systems is the pioneer in the industry to combine a wide range of features of a Randomization Tool, an Interactive Web Response System (IWRS), an Electronic Data Capturing Tool (EDC) and a Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) etc. all rolled up in a single integrated suite under the brand name SyMetric C6.

Thriving to combine the power of technology and emerging industry trends for superior solutions, SyMetric realized this integrated platform, as a single collaborative cloud platform for a range of services such as: Sites & Patients Handling, Drug Logistics Handlings, electronic Case Reports Forms (eCRF) management, Pharmaco Vigilance, Source Data Verification, Medical Coding, Project Management, Reports & Dashboards, Data Downloads and Inbuilt ticketing tool. “Customers can pick and choose which processes they would like us to configure, based on their specific needs.” claims Uma Janapareddy, Founder & CEO at SyMetric Systems. Simple and easy to use nature of SyMetric C6 platform eliminates the need of extensive help documents, thus making it a preferred solution for end users in the pharma companies and CROs.

“Being the designer & developer of our own product suite without depending on the tools from outside, SyMetric enjoys the benefit of addressing all the requirements of our Customers and delivering the desired output, with very quick Turn-Around-Time, sometime even within hours” says Uma. In order to boost its penchant to offer remarkable products/solutions, company conducts regular market research with its clients/partners and interacts directly with the end users and industry experts. Entire handling of the setup/configuration for each and every project, while providing technical support all by itself, without depending on any third party, gives SyMetric Systems a huge competitive advantage.

Driving a change with ‘SyMetric C6’
The Company envisions to transform the way the clinical trials are conducted globally, aided by its SyMetric C6 suite. It is helping to reduce the overall study timelines, enable faster submissions and provide greater agility for pharma companies and CROs.“We would like to help the pharma companies reduce the cost of trials, so that they can offer the medicines at an affordable rate to the human population” says Uma.

The suite is not only designed for pharmaceutical products, but can also be used for BA/BE studies, Nutraceutical studies, and studies for Personal Care products. The multi-language capability of the suite extends its reach to global trials.

The company regards Quality and Security as two important pillars of its entire clinical research study; and thus implemented one of the best Quality Policy and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Frameworks. SyMetric regularly faces Clients’ audits of their Product and Services. Successful completion of one such recent audit by a renowned independent audit firm from UK; engaged by one of the largest global pharma companies, to check the compliance of SyMetricC6 Product suite and services for 21CFR Part 11 guidelines and ICH –GCP; led to the enrollment of SyMetric Systems as their preferred vendor.

Future Roadmap
The future of SyMetric is driven by the Industry, where the company keeps receiving suggestions from Directors of Global Pharma companies, on various technologies that can be adopted to provide a world class product.

Encouraged by the overwhelming response received for SyMetric C6 Suite, the Company is currently working on customized Electronic Health Records (EHR) solutions and advanced analytics. Company is also exploring to capture the clinical trials marked space for medical devices.

“SyMetric C6, is not just a product, its an experience of Simplicity and Creative extravagance,” summarizes Uma.
