New technologies enable integration and collaboration in ways that are challenging conventional methods of monitoring the drug pipeline. Currently, most business information about preclinical activities resides on disparate, multiple platforms. Users have to access separate systems to extract, compile, and assemble reports from multiple laboratory operations.

To compound this problem, the network of preclinical information consumers - from the vice president of research to laboratory project managers - requires information on unique, although interdependent, key performance indicators (KPIs). With such an environment, how do you deliver throughput increases or avoid unnecessary costs?

What would it mean if your laboratory operations could investigate more candidates with the same number of resources, or you could uncover candidate failure before clinical development? All without risking the integrity of your business data or replacing the systems that house these data?

Paragon provides Preclinical Pipeline Acceleration solutions that deliver automated integration and timely reporting for Laboratory Operations and Candidate Development Projects. The solutions are built on a foundation of experience in data integration and solving the challenges that life sciences companies continue to face. Only Paragon provides a solution framework dedicated to Preclinical Reporting. And while our framework accelerates the implementation with predefined components and architectures - each client will have a unique, custom-tailored solution that meets individual needs.

Improve Overall Performance of Lab Operations

The rapid growth of candidates generated from discovery demands a more agile, aware preclinical laboratory environment. Paragon's Laboratory Operations solution speeds information consolidation and improves awareness across lab operations with:

• Near real-time updates of project status with consistent notification of, and preparation by, contributors
• Resource Allocation reporting to promote efficiencies of technicians and laboratory assets
• Comprehensive project rankings to resolve competing project bottlenecks
• Automated business status reporting to free-up technical staff for scientific investigations

The efficiency gains from Paragon's Laboratory Operations solutions will create a competitive advantage with tangible laboratory capacity increases.

Better Manage Candidate Development Projects

With more candidates to manage, organizations need a more sophisticated method of managing candidate development - both at individual and portfolio levels. Paragon Candidate Development solutions help you know more and deliver more by providing:

• Project performance trends and comparisons to historical averages
• Resource availability alerts and reminders to improve workflow queuing and experimental design
• What if scenarios to optimize workflow replanning

The project visibility capabilities of Paragon's Candidate Development solutions enable better control of project costs, more effective planning and portfolio rebalancing.

An Iterative Approach for Immediate Value

Paragon was first to build a framework for unified reporting in life sciences. Our experience benefits clients with an approach that can offer rapidly deployed lab status reporting or longer-term candidate portfolio management dashboards. This approach reduces organizational risk and establishes a path of measurable success.
