Interview Highlights

How has Clinical Maestro evolved since its founding, and what key milestones have marked the company's journey in the clinical trial budgeting and management industry?

The inauguration of our transformative journey came with the introduction of our inaugural commercial solution, the Clinical Maestro PORTFOLIO module, in 2019. From the onset, our vision was to create an end-to-end platform catering to the unique needs of the clinical business operations segment—an ambitious undertaking given the inherent complexity of core business processes. These processes span from planning and budgeting trials to managing high-value clinical RFPs for vendor selection, change order management, tracking, reforecasting actual completed and out-of-scope activities, and overseeing clinical vendor performance.
