Our Work in Pharmacovigilance
Astrix provides strategic consulting services that enable the success of end-to-end Pharmacovigilance (“PV”) planning, design, and implementation as part of our comprehensive suite of services. Astrix experts know first-hand that the PV landscape is evolving and that our clients prefer a strategic IT partner (rather than an IT vendor) who understands and collaborates in solving challenges throughout the Requirement, Design, Implementation, Testing and Go-live phases of SDLC. Astrix achieves results using proven methodologies during guided and collaborative sessions led by highly experienced PV pros who keep our client’s needs at the forefront of every decision. Together we determine the optimal implementation strategy and business roadmap, as well as third-party software and hosting choices that represent the best fit for our clients.
