The CIO 100 2010 Winner Profile describes Pfizer's clinical trial enrollment optimization project this way:

"To help complete their clinical trials on time and on budget, Pfizer deployed DecisionView's StudyOptimizer, enabling clinical teams to optimize enrollment in trials using predictive modeling and visualization. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based system allows users to analyze current data, forecast trial end-dates, and track the impact of possible course changes.
