What is iDOT?

MakroCare’s iDOT is a strategic approach towards delivering standardized services and technology in an integrated manner. Defining the right parameters / scope of the service and developing the right combination of ‘end to end process, teams and tools’ are the key activities that drive best value to customers.

Most of Pharma and Life sciences companies, currently have different vendors for data operations, technology and programming. Sometimes this works well as when selecting "best-of-the-breed" vendors who are a best-fit for that service or technology brings the best deliverables to clients. Unlike other services, Data Operations has matured over a period of few years and measuring the productivity and managing through metrics has become very manageable, if not easier. Clients should take advantage of this and consolidate vendors who can do multiple parts in data operations. This has obvious benefits and value as well. iDOT solution consists of best-in-class people, process and technology. MakroCare ‘s technology subsidiary -DDi has eclinical tools (mEDC, mIRT, mPORTAL) and solutions (ClinMetanoia, TULA), clients can leverage by paying only for the usage.
