As frustrating as the process of obtaining the CE Mark seems to be, I'm now more concerned with our partners progress on ensuring the sales and supply channels are in place. Not only is that approval process well within the control of TIS and it's partners, it is also a measure of how serious Quintiles are about selling the product.

This deadline is looming and both deliverables/milestones will be on the critical path before too long.

That said, it doesn't seem to matter what industry it is, delays always seem to be the norm.
