Introduction

Outsourcing in the pharmaceutical industry is no longer in its infancy The past 25 years have witnessed an evolution in pharma R&D management strategy Outsourcing penetration for development activities now stands at >60% Most pharma companies no longer outsource simply because they have to Most now recognize value in the use of contract organizations Sure, many individuals still hold strong preferences for using in-house resources to run clinical trials, but these attitudes tend to reside deep within operational functions; much less within executive management where R&D strategies are formed Additionally, where outsourcing once was limited to the buying of "hands and feet" – supplemental resources – organizations now regularly purchase experience and guidance (they still don't like the word "strategy")

But while the evolution of pharma's outsourcing philosophy has been fairly uniform across companies, the application of outsourcing strategy remains highly diverse Many approaches to the use of CROs remain in play for those responsible for R&D strategy

The most common among them include:

preferred provider agreements, one-off fee-for-service agreements, functional service provider agreements, large scale single-source partnerships, and a few others of merit
ISR's data in the current report show – in our judgment – acceptable levels of satisfaction for most outsourcing models The real trick for a head of R&D is not identifying which model is best, but rather, which model is best given the particular pharma company's culture, infrastructure for clinical trial management, infrastructure for CRO management, depth of pipeline, and a host of other factors
