To help life sciences organizations and contract research organizations (CROs) streamline financial management and automate the often complex clinical trial payment process, Oracle has delivered Oracle Clinical Trial Payments Process Integration Pack (PIP).
Co-developed by Infosys and Oracle and released in conjunction with Oracle Application Integration Architecture (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/application-integration-architecture/apps-integration-architecture-210164.html) 3.1, Oracle Clinical Trial Payments is a partial PIP that provides pre-built integration components for Siebel Clinical Trial Management System (www.oracle.com/us/industries/life-sciences/046739.html) and a complete design specification for integration with financial applications.
With Oracle Clinical Trial Payments PIP, users can create, manage and monitor payment requests within Siebel Clinical Trial Management System.

Completed transactions are automatically registered in Siebel Clinical Trial Management System with comprehensive disbursement details including payment date, payment amount and check number.
