Managed Services – Designed to Ease Your Load
Our primary goal is to provide a cost-effective technical support service tailored to the unique needs of your SAS environment within your organisation. The subscription-based model ensures you get precisely what you need without straining your budget — ideal for businesses with limited in-house resources.
With our dedicated team of experts, we seamlessly integrate as an extension of your operations, ensuring the smooth running of your SAS environment. If desired, we can go beyond that and help you unlock the full potential of your SAS environment.
The pillars our Managed Services rests on are stability, continuity, safety, performance, and quality. Here's what sets us apart:
- Prompt Remote Support: Swiftly resolving issues from a distance.
- Proactive Maintenance: Preventing issues through impact analysis and the application of patches or hotfixes.
- Single Point of Contact (SPoC): Acting as your liaison with SAS Institute on your behalf.
- Exceeding Expectations: Striving to beat agreed response and resolution times.
- On-site Visits: Periodic face to face meetings to comprehensively understand your IT architecture and requirements to optimise support.
Entrust us with the management of your SAS environment and experience the comfort of a service designed for optimal efficiency and success.

Are you confident about the quality of your submission package?
Submitting your clinical trial to the regulatory authorities is exciting. Nerve-racking exciting, whether it's your first or your tenth submission. You know you will receive tons of questions and ad-hoc requests for additional analyses but you should not risk delays as a result of inadequate quality of your submission package.
Did you set that zoom level inheritance right for all pages of your annotated CRF? Is each and every one of those hundreds of items in your Define-XML correct? Is every discrepancy in CDISC compliance adequately documented in the Reviewer’s Guide and does that use the correct template? What was it again with those XPT-files?
These are just a few out of tens, perhaps over a hundred questions you could (and should) ask yourself while you prepare that submission package. We call this submission readiness.
If this has you worried even the slightest bit, or you feel that you don’t have your submission readiness fully under control, you should definitely ask us for help. Our team has been there before, has this down to a science, and will get your submission package ready in as little as two weeks.
