Abstract
The increasing complexity of the drug development process is a major challe nge for today's pharmaceutical industry. The industry is increasingly turni ng to outsourcing to satisfy its needs for clinical trials. As much as 30% of the clinical development budget is spent in this way. In contrast, only 12% is spent on R&D.
