TRIO DIFFERENCE

The focus at Trio is quality.  Few, if any, companies can provide both the clinical research management experience and the incredibly strong clinical resourcing background that we possess here at Trio.  With the Trio Management Team’s experience across the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, CRO and resourcing businesses, we recognize there is a gap between traditional CROs and large staffing companies that create challenges for our industry.  These challenges include:

• Over commitment of resources
• Minimal clinical research experience and management within staffing companies
• Inflexibility of traditional CRO full-service infrastructure

These limitations make it difficult for other service providers to deliver quality, efficient solutions for resourcing and management of clinical research programs for biopharmaceutical companies.  Trio works across many divisions and departments within large and small biopharmaceutical companies to provide the monitoring and study management outsourcing model that best fits their specific needs and the needs of their project.  With the flexibility of our outsourcing model and our client relationships, Trio is able to form partnerships and move beyond the classic sponsor-service provider relationship.

Historically, staff turnover has been an ongoing challenge with traditional CROs and staffing companies have attempted to provide pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with customized workforces.  Though we cannot guarantee turnover will not occur on our teams, our metric of 98% staff retention per project indicates our business model works and that turnover is rare.

Our business philosophy promotes team continuity.  Why?

• We work exclusively with industry professionals that are known to us or that are referred to us by our existing network
• We do not reassign people on projects, therefore we do not have to “pull” from one project to staff another clients project
• Our Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) are given the opportunity to choose with whom they work
• We customize each team to ensure a good fit for all parties
• Our reputation allows us to attract and retain a high level of experienced CRPs
• Trio Senior Management supports our CRPs and believes in building strong lasting relationships

Trio believes another key component which differentiates us in the industry is the establishment of good communication channels and a solid working relationship between all parties.  Our business philosophy has always been one of open and honest communication with our clients.  We believe this philosophy allows for a greater level of transparency and is a key factor in successful partnerships.  The successful relationships we have established in the past have proven this business philosophy to be solid with Trio’s repeat business rate of greater then 90%.
