Many life sciences companies find it advantageous to outsource some of their functions to contract manufacturers, testing laboratories, and research organizations (CxO). This may include the design of a protocol, selection or monitoring of clinical investigations, evaluation of reports, and preparation of materials to be submitted to the FDA, EMA or any other agency. Outsourcing allows pharmaceutical and medical device companies to concentrate on their core competencies and at the same time reduce labor and overhead costs. In some cases, outsourcing provides access to expertise and facilities that don't exist in-house.
