Winchester Business Systems - Cubist Pharmaceuticals

After evaluating several vendors, Cubist decided that Protocol Manager from IBM Business Partner Winchester Business Systems offered Cubist the right combination of functionality, customizability, scalability and cost.

“Protocol Manager was very rich in clinical trial management functionality out-of-the-box,” says Ed Campanaro, Vice President of Clinical Operations and Data Management.

“We were growing fast, so we had to make sure we had a platform that could handle the increasing amount of trial management data that complex clinical trials generate. And knowing that the solution was based on the highly scalable and industrytested IBM Lotus Notes and Domino platform gave us that assurance.”

“But because it was based on IBM Lotus Notes and Domino, it also had the flexibility to allow us to create specific modules as well as the exact forms and reports that we needed for our particular business. Plus, the Lotus Notes and Domino platform has a powerful workflow engine that would allow us to automate critical processes. It was a very compelling combination," said Campanero.

Campanaro and his staff were also confident that the system could scale to meet the demands of the rapidly growing company. “We were growing fast, so we had to make sure we had a platform that could handle the increasing amount of trial management data that complex clinical trials generate,” says Campanaro. “And knowing that the solution was based on the highly scalable and industry-tested IBM Lotus Notes and Domino platform gave us that assurance.”
