Suvoda Accelerates Clinical Trial Software Implementations with Kantata, Reducing Project Timelines by 16%
Kantata, the leading global provider of professional services automation (PSA) solutions, is excited to spotlight the outstanding achievements of Suvoda, a global provider of clinical trial software solutions. By implementing Kantata OX—Kantata’s open infrastructure solution—Suvoda has significantly optimized project delivery, reducing implementation timelines by 16% and achieving substantial gains in operational efficiency.
Meeting the Complex Demands of Life Sciences
Suvoda supports clinical trials with innovative technology that must be delivered on time, every time. As the company experienced rapid growth, legacy systems like Excel and Teamwork.com could no longer scale to meet the demands of hundreds of projects and growing teams.
According to Steve DeSantis, CFO at Suvoda, “Pharmaceutical companies have FDA timelines they need to meet, or their drug launch can be derailed. Often, they will give priority to the company with the resources available to commit to that timeline.”
A Purpose-Built Solution with Transformative Impact
Suvoda selected Kantata OX for its flexibility, scalability, and ability to integrate with existing systems. The implementation was completed in under three months, with full integration and reporting capabilities achieved within six months. The results have been transformative:
- 50% reduction in the number of team members required to deliver each project
- 16% faster average project implementation time
- Improved project profitability through data-driven team restructuring and precise resource management
- Enhanced confidence in project capacity forecasting, leading to higher project intake
- Real-time insights into billable utilization, project performance, and profitability
“When you’re trying to manage a large number of teams across hundreds of projects annually, you need to understand where people are spending their time,” says DeSantis. “Our ability to optimize that by just a few percentage points produced a significant improvement to our bottom line.”
“Suvoda is a perfect example of the transformative power of purpose-built professional services technology,” said Sarah Edwards, Chief Product Officer at Kantata. “This is exactly the kind of impact we know PSA software can deliver for software providers with embedded services teams. The insights leaders gain fundamentally change the math of professional services—unlocking the ability to do more work with the same capacity while getting customers live faster and delivering value sooner. We’re proud to support Suvoda’s mission and excited to see what they achieve next.”
