“This means that, with iMedNet, EDC is now both practical and economically viable for any study, even very small studies of short duration."
Max Neeman has launched its customized Project Management Software (PMS).
The business say its software is tailored for each individual study, and is unique because of extended features in regulatory, site initiation, and CDMS.
A spokesperson for the company said: “These help clients track the progress of the study in terms of enrollment status, regulatory and EC status, monitoring visits, CRF retrieval status and safety reporting – at their convenience and from anywhere.
“Also additional observation can be added for a module according to the study needs. Thus it is a flexible management solution, which enables any kind of sharing of Web-based information free of cost.”

“To remain competitive, it is essential for sponsors to get impeccable EDC support from their provider."
StudyManager’s Evolve software product sales have increased by more than 500 per cent year-on-year.
The company attributed the boom in sales for its EDC and CTMS (clinical trial management software) system down to increased pressure to reduce technology costs for eClinical solutions within the life sciences industry.
A demand for easy-to-implement eClinical solutions as well as a growing awareness of their product were also key factors in the rise in trade, according to the firm.
"2011 has been somewhat of a watershed event for our company,” said Bruce Schatzman, CEO of StudyManager.
“Not only has the growth been beyond our expectations, it has sustained itself and helps set the stage for breakout growth in the future.”
