Client Portals - PPD DirectConnect™
As one of the first in the industry to pioneer secure Web portals, PPD gives our biopharmaceutical and medical device clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week access to information and progress reports on clinical trials being performed on their behalf by PPD.
Developed in close collaboration with companies across the industry, PPD has refined this secure and efficient study communication and management tool to be used in projects with diverse needs. Today, PPD hosts thousands of users for more than 125 biopharmaceutical, government and and medical device clients.
PPD DirectConnect provides a secure, centralized source of information for efficient management of your clinical trials. The technology is browser neutral and requires no plug-ins or downloads, other than the use of Adobe
Acrobat reader for PDF documents.
Leveraging the PPD DirectConnect architecture, PPD has developed customized, branded Web portals for large scale programs, providing program management utilities, study information, status reports and a single point of access to tools such as remote data entry. Role-based access can be implemented to further customize the experience. Our developers are skilled at adding unique functionality per the needs of each program.
Clinical Trial Website Security
We host each of your clinical trial websites on servers dedicated to sponsor sites and are located securely behind PPD firewalls. Using server-based security, each site requires authorization and authentication of anyone trying to access and encryption for all transactions and communication between user and site. Further, password administration is governed by procedures that are strictly defined and monitored for optimal security.
