Secure Access Manager - Trusted Single Sign-On to Access Applications Across the Entire Life Sciences Community
Traditional identity and access management solutions are designed to control user access to critical information within their organization but have been slow to deal with the complex web of credentials, permissions, usernames and passwords required for the collaboration that defines today’s life sciences industry. In that world, each sponsor provides its own systems, processes and procedures that a site user must access to participate in the sponsor’s clinical trials. Because site users frequently work on concurrent trials with one or more sponsors, remembering the myriad of unique logins not only is daunting and inhibits productivity, but also places sensitive information and intellectual property at risk.
In fact, a study of over 500 sites worldwide conducted by the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) identified “too many systems requiring different processes and login credentials” as site investigators’ #1 technology problem. Clinical trials represent an essential component of the research and development process to bring new drugs and therapies to market to prevent, diagnose or cure diseases. When trials execution slows because of unnecessary administrative overhead, participants become frustrated and lives are on the line. Exostar eliminates these concerns without sacrificing security by enabling access to multiple sponsor systems through a single, community-accepted industry credential. Secure Access Manager (SAM), our single sign-on (SSO) solution allows users to cut through the overhead and focus their expertise on the tasks that really matter. Simplifying access, reducing costs, raising productivity, and speeding up clinical trials and time-to-market is how Exostar helps solve the #1 technology challenge. In fact, after switching to Exostar’s SAM, one top ten pharmaceutical manufacturer reported a 94% reduction in on-boarding time – from two months to two days.
