BioClinica®, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOC), a global provider of
clinical trial management solutions, today announced the release of
BioClinica OnPoint CTMS and noted a surge in clinical trial management
system (CTMS) demand. OnPoint is the new release of the CTMS platform
that BioClinica acquired from TranSenda in 2010.
"A quiet transformation of clinical study architectures is occurring in
the industry through the increased use of standard collaboration tools
for clinical study management and regulatory document management,” says
Gartner Research Vice President Steve Lefebure. "Life science companies
are seeking to leverage existing infrastructure, support collaboration,
and create flexibility. Solutions that leverage both industry standard
collaboration tools and office automation software while providing
comprehensive clinical study management capabilities present significant
advantages in this environment.”
BioClinica OnPoint CTMS helps sponsors of clinical trials and CROs to
efficiently access, share, and analyze operational trial data by
leveraging the power and ease of use of the Microsoft®
SharePoint standard collaboration and office automation tools.
BioClinica's patent-pending data interchange technology eases the
acquisition of operational data from multiple sources in real-time.
OnPoint’s tight integration with SharePoint enables users to interact
with the system via Microsoft Office applications (Outlook, Excel, Word,
etc.), speeding user adoption and compliance. Organizations find they
can decrease their cost of ownership for large implementations using
SharePoint’s proven scalability to manage millions of documents.
"We are experiencing extremely strong interest for OnPoint CTMS,” said
Peter Benton, President of eClinical Solutions for BioClinica. "So far
in this quarter we have already received contract awards from four
pharma and device companies that range from mid to large in size. The
combination of features, value and fast implementation – augmented by
OnPoint’s out-of-the-box integration with SharePoint – is changing
market perceptions of CTMS’ utility and cost-effectiveness.”
The new release of BioClinica OnPoint CTMS includes full support for the
advanced features of SharePoint 2010. For organizations who desire to
minimize infrastructure investment, BioClinica also offers hosting
options for OnPoint. OnPoint has been selected by clinical trial
sponsors and CROs after comprehensive market assessments and evaluations
that have demonstrated not only the system’s capabilities, but have also
delivered high satisfaction ratings and a high level of user adoption.
