Reengineering CTEP-ESYS: An Ongoing Evolution

The Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) has developed an enterprise system designed to enhance the scientific and administrative aspects of cancer clinical trial development. Faced with a maturing enterprise system, CTEP is migrating to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which will reduce long-term maintenance cost without sacrificing flexibility, and will enhance the continuous improvement of the clinical trial development process by converging with the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG™). This paper outlines the reengineering process CTEP is using to move towards an SOA for its enterprise system.
