Each of ALTA's principals has a minimum of 15 years of CRO experience managing high-throughput analytical facilities. From this unparalleled production experience, we have identified and made a personal commitment to five key operational strategies that we believe have contributed to our success and are necessary to maintain superior service in a very demanding laboratory environment:

1. Maintain scientific integrity by building the business at a sustainable and manageable level and stay actively involved with technical development projects and daily operations.
2. Facilitate communications with our clients by providing direct access to key technical and project management personnel.
3. Maintain a stable and experienced workforce by providing a pleasant, professionally challenging and rewarding workplace environment. Provide systematic training modules to promote career advancement.
4. Develop a strong QA/QC program that is designed to maintain facility and study compliance by providing adequate QA staffing and implementation of proactive systems designed to prevent recurring types of errors.
5. Aggressively pursue laboratory and data management automation where it facilitates cost savings, superior service, and improved data quality.
