OCTAGON ANNOUNCES NEW SUBMISSION DATA CAPABILITIES
Wayne, PA - July 29, 2005 - Octagon Research Solutions, the leader in the electronic transformation of clinical R&D, today announced plans to extend internal capabilities by integrating ViewPoint®, Octagon's enterprise submission process management solution, with DataLabs XC, the flagship product suite from DataLabs, Inc. The planned product integration will support electronic and paper-based clinical trial processes and enable full process integration, connecting clinical data processes to larger enterprise submission processes.
This new capability further aligns Octagon's capabilities to support industry trends such as CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium) data standardization models. It provides visibility into cross-functional activities that have traditionally made it difficult for clinical teams to operate efficiently and enables Data Management, Programming, Project Management, and Regulatory Operations to work in a more seamless environment.
"This integrated implementation will provide visibility into processes, while also facilitating our ability to implement CDISC standards throughout our daily operations," said Kirk Gallion, COO, Octagon Research Solutions. "The traditional clinical data operations will be significantly improved through this novel approach, leading to more rapid completion of clinical trial activities and the production of submission-ready deliverables. The combination of automation and process refinement offers the greatest potential for maximum efficiency."
"The concept of merging clinical and regulatory processes to gain efficiency has continued to gain momentum," said Jim Walker, president and CEO, Octagon Research Solutions. "There are many opportunities to take advantage of current technologies and emerging standards to uncover new avenues for efficiency. Automation and management of related sub-processes that span multiple functional areas has always been a challenge for industry. Our business model enables us to address this challenge while simultaneously preparing for future standardization initiatives."
