Today pharmaceutical companies have many choices, when electing an outsource provider. Drug developers may find it difficult to identify a single provider with a list of services, which meets all of the client's requirements. Specialization or limitations at the provider's site may require that pharmaceutical developers obtain services from multiple sources. Select service providers have expanded their offerings to include: research, manufacturing, analytical services, quality assurance and regulatory compliance. While no one provider may offer all the possibilities required, the developer must focus on a provider's capabilities, resources and expertise during the selection process.
