Phlexglobal to Improve eTMF Document Transfers with Adoption of New Exchange Mechanism Standard
21.6.2018 19:16:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Phlexglobal, a specialist provider of technology-enabled Trial Master File (TMF & eTMF) management solutions, is adopting Version 1 of the eTMF Exchange Mechanism Standard (eTMF-EMS) of the TMF Reference Model (TMF-RM) into PhlexEview, the company’s eTMF technology. This marks a major advancement in efficient document interchange and will firmly solidify Phlexglobal’s position as a driving force in eTMF management for clinical trials.
Prior to the creation of the TMF Reference Model, there was no universal methodology for the organization of trial data in an eTMF. In 2009 Phlexglobal joined other industry TMF experts to create the TMF Reference Model which has primarily focused on organizing the artifacts of a clinical trial.
While the TMF-RM has aided in the organization of artifact, the transfer of TMF to trial sponsors or contract research organizations has often required a significant amount of mapping and manipulation. Phlexglobal has extensive experience migrating millions of TMF documents across countless systems. The Exchange Mechanism Standard facilitates the transfer of this data, and by adopting it Phlexglobal will bring order to the interchange of trial master file content, metadata, audit trail and electronic signature information between organizations and systems. Phlexglobal is an active contributor in the eTMF-EMS development, providing valuable insight to the collaborative effort.
“Standardization is crucial to TMF success,” said Karen Roy, Chef Strategy Officer at Phlexglobal and the Chair of the TMF RM steering committee. “Phlexglobal has a steadfast resolution to lead the way in eTMF standards so we can ensure our customers’ records are always compliant and inspection-ready. Combined with Phlexglobal’s industry-leading expertise in TMF management, the eTMF-EMS will enable us to migrate TMF data in a variety of situations with a minimal amount of manual work.”
Ms. Roy will join other members of the TMF-RM steering committee in presenting the new standard at the DIA Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 26 at 5:30 pm at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. All attendees are encouraged to join this free event to learn how the eTMF-EMS will revolutionize data exchange. More information can be found at https://tmfrefmodel.com/category/news/. Registration is not required but would be useful for an indication of attendance.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment

The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend.
