Strategikon, a leader in clinical trial outsourcing and vendor management solutions, has announced the launch of Clinical Maestro® 5.0, a major upgrade designed to help sponsors and CROs make faster, smarter outsourcing decisions.
This release introduces Maestro AI, an intelligent companion that turns static documents into instant insights—decoding files, summarizing vendor performance and pulling historical context to cut hours of manual work.
Maestro AI streamlines RFP due diligence and vendor governance: answering questions on proposals/comparisons, summarizing vendor responses and evaluation surveys, and guiding RFP/RFI content creation using templates and industry standards.
A recent industry survey found that over 70% of outsourcing professionals cite fragmented data and slow access to vendor information as top productivity barriers. Clinical Maestro 5.0 addresses this with five powerful advancements:
- AI-Powered Vendor Intelligence – Ask natural language questions and get answers that can intelligently cross-reference sourcing and vendor governance information from across the platform.
- Rate Card Compliance Detection – Automatically flag discrepancies between proposals and negotiated/preferred rate cards, preventing errors and aiding due diligence.
- 3rd Party Costs – Have transparency over the 3rd party vendors involved in a proposal and avoid the pitfall of labeling everything as “pass-through”, which leads to more predictable budgets and reveals hidden costs.
- Change Order Simplification – Decode complex change orders quickly, improving decision speed by integrated reporting and variance analysis
- New control, approval, and access features for sourcing that provide compliance and security for clinical RFP processes.
“With Clinical Maestro 5.0, we’re embedding intelligence directly into the outsourcing workflow,” said Anca Copaescu, CEO of Strategikon. “Our AI-powered tools turn hours of data digging into instant, actionable insight — something the industry has needed for years.”
