Are you spending too much time custom programming to achieve the desired results for tables and listings? Our all new Report template library saves time and frustration.

Comment: Vendors tools such as ClinPlus for creating tables and listings are too expensive for sponsors on a long-term basis, and as such not worth for spending so much budget. Major pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, BMS, Novartis, GSK, Bayer, and many others have developed a set of macros which are more friendly and easy to use.

Response: Actually, embarking on a standard reporting system development project using in-house programmers typically costs 5-10 times what ClinPlus licensing fees would cost, perhaps much more if using third party consulting companies.  And, results are uncertain at best.  I have seen several of these projects fall well short of their initial goals or fail completely - money down the drain.  With an off the shelf product like ClinPlus Report, that has been in production (with ongoing development) for 20+ years,  companies see the benefits immediately and have a team of experts available  to support them. 

Many of the pharmaceutical companies you mentioned do, in fact, use ClinPlus as their standard along with several other tier-1 pharmas, biotechs and CRO's. (60+ ClinPlus clients total)  All have expressed satisfaction in not only the time and money saved but also in the superior quality and flexibility they enjoy from a validated, expertly supported product. The return on investment with this product is predictably significant vs. any development effort with an unknown final outcome.
