Pharma companies are seeking to bolster pipelines and cut costs more than ever before in preparation for looming patent expirations of blockbuster drugs. In this environment global collaborations are increasing while budgets are shrinking, and as a result Internet-based communication has taken a prominent position in clinical development.
