At The FDA Group, we recognize that life science teams often collaborate with multiple vendors to complete their projects, which can be expensive, time-consuming, and complicated to manage.
We believe that life science teams deserve more than mere transactional vendor relationships; instead, they should have genuine partnerships that emphasize open communication, trust, and collaboration to effectively address all their needs.
Introducing our Functional Service Program
That's why we've created a Functional Service Program (FSP) — a way to consolidate some or even all your externally-sourced projects through a single, trusted partner with substantial discounts. Our FSP model simplifies vendor management, eradicates inefficiency, and minimizes budget overruns, all while delivering high-quality services from the industry's top talent.
Simply tell us which projects you'd like to outsource to us for a significant discount, and we'll develop a plan to resource and execute those projects with progressively lower rates. The more you outsource to us, the more you save. You'll have a single, dependable resourcing partner to plan, coordinate, and execute projects and programs at a fraction of the cost and complexity you currently manage.
With a single external support partner, you can more efficiently move and deploy the same resources across multiple functional areas, avoiding costs and delays due to additional onboarding and training.
Our FSP model caters to the later stages of the product lifecycle, where bundled service engagement offerings are scarce. Like a traditional clinical FSP, this outsourcing model allows you to streamline your external work and benefit from a single point of accountability and integrated service offering.
With discounts that increase with the size and duration of the service package, you'll cut costs and reduce management workload—all while receiving dependable service backed by a Total Quality Guarantee.
