Reduce your development timeline with expert consultants

Product Development Consulting

Get an integrated strategy with operational oversight across all phases of your development program.

Reduce your product development timeline up to 30% with programmatic outsourcing that eliminates the white space between development phases.

Apply our flexible, fit-for-purpose model that enables collaboration across several disciplines and unites multiple vendors and resources.

Identify time and cost savings throughout your development life cycle.

As part of Fortrea Consulting, Product Development Consulting offers a unique approach to compress your timelines and reduce costs. Instead of traditional, transactional "study-by-study" outsourcing-where knowledge must be transferred between vendors and phases-we've formed a unique product development team (PDT) and created a model that helps reduce time gaps between phases.

Throughout your iterative development process, we maintain our continuous scientific dialogue, adjusting to your latest product requirements as we integrate regulatory, clinical, medical, access and commercial strategies. By connecting and delivering cross-functional knowledge across our enterprise, we provide a holistic roadmap for your product and enable an end-to-end product development solution across local, regional and global geographies.
