Statistical Computing Environment

The Statistical Computing Environment (SCE) from eClinical Solutions is a fully integrated module within the elluminate Clinical Data Cloud® designed for clinical programmers, biostatisticians, and R&D IT teams. It provides one centralized place for all data, metadata, programs, and results, enabling organizations to increase the efficiency, traceability, and visibility of their statistical analyses throughout the clinical development lifecycle.

By combining intelligent workflow automation with AI-powered data review, elluminate SCE helps pharmaceutical, biotech, and CRO organizations accelerate and automate statistical analysis processes. The platform supports popular programming languages including SAS, R, and Python, and can be added and configured in under two weeks following deployment of the elluminate platform.

Increasing Development Efficiency

• Programmers and statisticians can develop, maintain, and execute programs and scripts written in SAS, R, and Python directly against data within the platform.
• Gain access to all data and metadata across the system from a single, unified environment.
• Utilize an integrated code editor that provides comprehensive version control of programs, collaborative editing and review, and full software development lifecycle tracking.
• Leverage a Global Library of reusable code snippets, macros, and functions to maximize reuse and increase programming and analysis efficiencies.
• Validated and locked macros can be maintained within the centralized code repository.

Streamlining Execution and Traceability

• View detailed metadata about each program, including its location, version history, execution history, and data dependencies.
• Reproduce results reliably through unified version tracking of code, data, metadata, and the execution environment.
• Track dependencies and visualize the flow of data from source to output, encompassing not only SCE programs but also steps from other elluminate modules such as Importer and Mapper.
• View a specific data audit trail from origin through to analysis results via unified version tracking.
• Users can edit programs within the system and also import or export programs to view and edit outside of the system, while maintaining the audit trail in elluminate SCE.

Automating Workflows and Task Management

• Schedule programs to execute automatically upon updates to data or upon completion of other elluminate tasks.
• Auto-create programs based on configurable templates to reduce manual effort.
• Build intelligent, task-based workflows that support business processes and direct SCE users to their assigned tasks, showing how their efforts support the critical pathway for study deliverables.
• Visualize the entire data flow — including processes from other elluminate modules — all the way from source to output.
• Role-based permissions allow users to accomplish all tasks associated with their various roles and seamlessly transition between functions without needing to log out and re-authenticate.

Platform Integration and Deployment

• elluminate SCE is part of the broader elluminate Clinical Data Cloud® platform, which centralizes data from any source across clinical operations, data management, and statistical programming.
• The SCE enhances the value of a platform approach by leveraging shared data, standards, and mappings to maximize reuse across the organization.
• After initial deployment of the elluminate platform, the SCE module can be added and fully configured in under two weeks.
• The solution is complemented by eClinical Solutions' Biometrics Services, including Biostatistics and Statistical Programming support, as well as access to training resources and an SCE playbook for clinical development teams.
