Solution Architect

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• QEP is an Appian workflow overseeing the of data accuracy in three separate CTMS systems prior to regulatory reporting. The CTMS data is extracted via ETL to a data warehouse where it is conformed to a centralized data model. The application is provided a data mart refreshed by the warehouse several times each day.
• Informatica read2 the study data from the data mart and executes a series of data quality rules. The results of the Informatica analysis are recorded in the QEP application database.
• Appian shares the data mart and monitors the error tables for business rule failures identified by Informatica. The failures signify a data issue that must be corrected in the source CTMS. Appian bundles the failures into tasks and intelligently assigns them to groups of data stewards who oversee the correction process. Workflow steps monitor the correction process and progress reports are delivered through Appian dashboards. Reports that reflect business data are delivered through integration with Business Objects. This is a validated application.
• The objective of RBM is to reduce the frequency of monitor visits to study sites without compromising subject or Confidential t safety. The analysis of risk is based on a series of calculated Quality Risk Indicators and subsequent evaluation of the results within the context of the protocol design. The implementation is based on a third party Appian application. This workflow was based on data sources that have been deprecated and must be replaced. Current activities are focused on analysis of the original sources and mapping to sustainable authoritative systems. Current solution plans anticipate side loading of bulk data via Informatica with intraday events delivered via events coming from the ESB. This will be a validated application.
