Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e1c7a6/clincal_data_manag) has announced the addition of the "Clinical Data Management 2010" conference to their offering.

19, October 2010, ITC Maratha, Mumbai, India "Creating an optimised data integration & standardised data collection for a secured future for CDM"

The pharmaceutical business is under huge pressure and needs to be more competitive if it is going to stay successful. Every day companies generate large amounts of data, much of which is never fully leveraged. Traditional approaches to data collection and management prevent the full curation of all data within a company, leading to a substantial opportunity lost for that company. Why is this? Do companies really understand the full power of the data they own? What can be done by your members of your organisation to advance the thinking and technology?

India has developed into a super power for IT skills and has become a major hub for pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing and contract research, the outsourcing business in various other segments is also exhibiting promise. Clinical trial data management and statistical analysis is one such area which is growing rapidly, accompanied by a variety of players entering into different models of this business. This conference will reflect on the data management business in India and review the emerging outsourcing models in this growing pharma industry.

Few tasks in R&D rival the complexity of clinical data management while its importance in providing clean and correctly mapped data carries direct impact on the success of drug submission. In times of increasing trial costs and the rising threat of clinical outsourcing, keeping ahead of competition and abreast of the latest developments is paramount to surviving a harsh CDM climate. The role of data managers has experienced a fundamental shift from doer to controller, from data collector to system administrator. This year's conference will capture the essence of electronic data integration, interface interoperability and system optimisation to spearhead a global understanding of data standardisation and usher clinical data management into a time- and cost-efficient second generation. Meticulous care has been taken to offer practical solutions and real-life case studies to combat the challenges of CDM. Market leaders will share their ideas and outline their action plan to crucially assist your decision-making process when improving Data capture and integration, Outsourcing strategies, Data cleaning, validation and mapping, CDISC implementation and compliance, Vendor and project management skills

CDM 2010 will provide you with the data that you need to recognize this complex and rapidly-expanding sector. Knowing the future market, and what impact will that have on future business opportunities? This is your opportunity to stay ahead by learning the latest trends and networking with the trend setters.
