Accenture’s Life Sciences Cloud for R&D features five core modules that enable your organization
to capture, store, import and standardize diverse and complex internal and external data types that continue to grow in volume. With this capability, our clients are able to compare and contrast data that was previously never comparable and unlock information about their products and operations never known before.

The Clinical & Scientific Data Warehouse (CSDW) delivers a platform to aggregate data for analysis.
CSDW provides the business an aggregated view of both internal and external data, conformed to industry standards, in a fully validated, high-performance environment. Enforces and tracks standards across data from multiple systems and enables data standardization for cross-study analysis.
-
The Analysis & Reporting Workbench (ARW) provides a flexible statistical analysis environment that audits traceability between data, programs, and outputs.
ARW is the powerful tool for planning and developing outputs within a controlled validation cycle. It defines the analysis components that can be tracked and re-used across multiple studies and programs, enabling validated programs and report structure well before database lock.
-
The Metadata Registry (MDR) enables industry standards management and creation of study specifications based on approved standards.
MDR provides Clinical Data Standards Metadata to ensure submission of CDISC-compliant clinical data to Health Authorities. It includes structure and attributes to extend standards for Study Usage for ADaM, Controlled Terminology, Data Acquisition, Data Review Model, Data Verification, SDTM, TFL, Transformation/Mapping, VLM standards.
-
The Unstructured Content Repository (UCR) provides a central storage location creating a single source of truth for all ALSC content.
UCR is the cloud storage location of all ALSC content with full indexing providing robust content search capabilities. It allows business users to quickly and efficiently store, retrieve, and re-use content across the platform for a myriad of clinical processes and operations.
