Specialty companies have emerged to help drug sponsors cut time and cost in getting new drugs to market as part of a plan to expand their business offerings and to provide medical writing and scientific editing services to both the pharmaceutical industry and academia. As contract clinical trial work has begun in emerging countries, companies have begun to align themselves as global partners in order centralize their services in India.

In addition, the difference in time zones also is proving to be an advantage as deadlines are generally short and work sent during the evening in the U.S. can be completed in India during the day.
