<strong>and</strong> for generating performance reports. The<br />
solution presents a single view <strong>of</strong> the total<br />
infrastructure <strong>of</strong> CRO i.e. single view <strong>of</strong> system,<br />
network <strong>and</strong> applications metrics.<br />
Client automation enterprise (CAE) : Client<br />
Automation Enterprise (3) has been implemented<br />
to collect the hardware <strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware inventory<br />
details <strong>of</strong> each desktop in the CRO besides<br />
distributing s<strong>of</strong>tware simultaneously to all these<br />
desktops from centrally located server. By<br />
deploying this tool, the CRO will derive the<br />
following benefits.<br />
1. Monitoring the application usage pattern on<br />
individual desktops <strong>and</strong> hence helps to<br />
strategize the application distribution across<br />
the desktops.<br />
2. Monitoring <strong>and</strong> managing the licenses<br />
installed on each desktop.<br />
3. To have a homogenous baseline desktop<br />
environment.<br />
4. To keep all desktops in synchronization with<br />
latest s<strong>of</strong>tware releases from application or<br />
Operating Systems (OS) specific vendors.<br />
HP TRIM (Transparent Records &<br />
Information Management) document<br />
management system, shown in (Fig 3), is a<br />
transparent records <strong>and</strong> information management<br />
system that can capture, share <strong>and</strong> manage<br />
information by applying automated rules,<br />
classifications <strong>and</strong> workflows. It adheres to ISO<br />
15489 quality st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> complies with US<br />
FDA (Federal Drug Agency) 21 CFR Part 11<br />
guidelines (2). TRIM document solution<br />
implemented at the Labs under study addresses<br />
the above problems besides replacing the current<br />
document management with a leading edge<br />
solution from HP. All the existing data <strong>and</strong><br />
customization has been exported to TRIM using<br />
tools <strong>and</strong> techniques provided by HP. HP TRIM<br />
depends on Lightweight Directory Access<br />
Protocol (LDAP) for user authentication <strong>and</strong> it<br />
minimizes the cost impact by alleviating the<br />
earlier licensing requirements.<br />
Scientific applications: A clinical trial is<br />
sponsored by an organization <strong>and</strong> various<br />
organization roles are involved in conducting the<br />
Content management : The CRO has been using<br />
Lotus Domino document manger for managing<br />
documents <strong>and</strong> its workflows. However, it has<br />
been decided to phase out the existing Domino<br />
Document Manager because <strong>of</strong> the following<br />
reasons.<br />
1. It has reached end <strong>of</strong> life with no support<br />
from IBM which is a major concern for<br />
some organization like Vimta.<br />
2. It does not meet specific regulatory<br />
requirements such as 21 Code for<br />
Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 11.<br />
3. It has performance problems due to<br />
resource constraints.<br />
4. Growing licensing requirements because<br />
<strong>of</strong> tight integration with Lotus mail.<br />
