As an early adaptor of the CDISC standards, XML4Pharma has gained a large amount (almost 20 years) of experience in implementing the CDISC standards (ODM, Lab, Define-XML, SDTM) at technology vendors, CROs and pharma companies, all over the world.
We help large sponsor companies, CROs and technology vendors with the implementation of CDISC standards, usually on basis of consultancy. This goes from providing project-based consultancy, and down to the development of software and systems.
Furthermore, we help sponsor companies and CROs with conversion of legacy data to CDISC standards.
Very regularly, we are helping CROs learning them how to retrieve clinical data from their databases (Oracle, SQLServer, Access, ...) or CDMS into XML, and to transform these data into the CDISC ODM and/or Lab format.
For a number of EDC vendors, we developed and provided the necessary knowledge or software to allow their systems to import and export data in CDISC
format (ODM, Lab), and for enabling their systems to become CDISC-compliant.
If your EDC system has the ability to import and export data in CDISC ODM format, XML4Pharma may have implemented that!
We find knowledge and technology transfer important. We are not one of these consultants or technology providers that provide you with a black-box solution.
At the contrary, during an assignment, we learn your people understanding the CDISC standards and how to work with them.
When developing a software solution for your company, we provide the source code of that software together with the full software documentation.
XML is a well established technology (or better: set of technologies) that is still evolving. JSON is younger but rapidly growing in importance, especially in the area of RESTful Web Services. Also here, development is rapid (e.g. JSON-schema, JSONata), needing us to constantly acquiring new skills to work with these technologies. About 20% of our time is used to keep up with the evolution of and learning new technologies.
Very often, we use Java to develop software for our customers, but more and more also Python, which is rapidly growing in importance.
A (non-complete) list of technologies we use (and are very good in) for the development of solutions for working with CDISC standards is:
