Perficient to Present on Successful Implementation of Siebel Clinical Trial Management System in the Oracle
Cloud at Oracle Health Sciences Connect
Additional Perficient presentations will focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in
clinical data management and medical coding
Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT) (“Perficient”), the leading digital transformation consulting firm serving Global 2000® and
other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced it has successfully implemented Oracle’s Siebel Clinical
Trial Management System (CTMS) in the Oracle Cloud for one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The Siebel CTMS
implementation, which is the biggest to date in the Oracle Cloud, provides the infrastructure needed to facilitate several hundred
clinical trials each year and bring new medicines to market faster.
With the increased complexity of clinical trial studies, and the push to accelerate trial results, life sciences organizations
need to modernize their clinical and safety systems. Migrating applications to the cloud helps standardize and optimize clinical
study processes, shorten cycle times, and support patient recruitment and participation.
The pharmaceutical company worked with Perficient’s seasoned clinical trial operations solutions team to migrate from a
homegrown, on-premises system, to an enhanced Siebel CTMS cloud solution. The successful Siebel CTMS implementation has enabled the
company to efficiently manage and monitor the operational aspects of more than 300 global studies. It has experienced reduced
clinical trial related costs, increased trial management consistency, streamlined clinical trial management, and improved clinical
research productivity.
“Oracle’s Siebel CTMS is critical to the central management of clinical trials,” said Mike Grossman, general manager, Life
Sciences at Perficient. “Our client is the largest company leveraging Siebel CTMS in the Oracle Cloud, and we are thrilled to be
the partner of choice. We’ve delivered a cloud solution that contained complex integrations and enhancements in a short amount of
time, and we look forward to demonstrating this innovative implementation during Oracle Health Sciences Connect.”

Thought leaders from the pharmaceutical company and Perficient, an
Oracle Platinum Partner, will showcase the Siebel CTMS in the Oracle Cloud success story during Oracle

The session will begin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, Wednesday, April 10, in the Aria room at the DoubleTree by Hilton

“Our client's implementation of Siebel CTMS in the Oracle Cloud, which supports hundreds of studies across the globe and

operations,” said Parambir Singh, director, clinical operations solutions at Perficient. “We truly value our partnership and the
