The AC Experience: Clients

Our mission, “Advancing Discoveries Through Insight,” is at the core of the client experience. We partner with you to achieve the best clinical trial results and make an impact on people’s lives.

What we do:

We offer a suite of “strategic research solutions” with our consulting, strategic sourcing, talent management and technology services, based on:

• Codified methodology and delivery methods, tools and assets that supply industry leading performance and insight, not only addressing current needs, but predicting future needs
• TRUE flexibility along six dimensions based on what will provide you the best solution.  The six dimensions of flexibility include: commercial model, phase, location, approach, style and function needs

How we do this:

We utilize our “collaborate, innovate, optimize” approach in our services to deliver the best results for you:

Collaborate:
In the beginning of our relationship, we work closely with you to determine the best solution for you.  We proactively engage in collaborative planning and forecasting, working together with you to provide for your resource and risk management needs using our delivery tools, methods and assets as well as our commercial models.

Innovate:
We drive leading practices into every element of work we do through our Industry Leading R&D Performance (ILRDP) methodology and framework.  ILRDP encompasses leading practices for processes and technology; identification of risks and risk mitigation techniques;  Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for all Phase I-IV processes as well as  a complete diagnostic that allows us to ensure the work we do is of the highest caliber. 

Optimize:
To deliver the best results for you, we utilize our continuous learning model, constantly updating our leading practice assets and methodology. We want our capabilities to be the best that anyone can offer and deliver high quality step change improvement for our clients.

Why we do this:

We are in the business of helping Life Sciences companies. We care about getting the drugs that people need to market as quickly and safely as possible. We care about creating TRUE value for you, not just cost reduction, efficiency or other promises. We go beyond bland, value claims. When we say efficiency, we can prove it with fact-based metrics. When we say value, we show cost reduction and revenue uplift. When we say we’re flexible, we show you six dimensions of flexibility. Please see below for a few of the reasons we create success for clients every day:

• Demonstrable Effectiveness: 220+ reference-able clinical studies, delivered fast, safely and efficiently with supporting metrics
• Value Add:  We reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for clients, and we can model the P&L impact of success
• Commercial Models: Creative in offering strong economic value, e.g., performance-based, risk-sharing, retainer-based, asset transfers, etc.
• Delivery Methods, Tools and Assets: Operationally efficient models from the back office to delivery and implementation
