Axio Joins the DataLabs CRO Partners™ Program

Irvine, Calif. -- April 25, 2005 -- DataLabs, an innovative developer of Internet-based applications for clinical development, announced today that Axio Research, a contract research organization (CRO) based in Seattle, has joined the DataLabs CRO Partners Program.

"Axio evaluated many EDC vendors, but we ultimately joined the DataLabs CRO Partners Program because DataLabs offers technology advantages and support services at a cost that competitive vendors simply couldn't match," said Lee Hooks, Axio CEO. "We really felt that DataLabs was providing us with a tool while other EDC vendors gave the impression that they wanted to compete in our space."

"DataLabs is pleased to help Axio expand its service offerings while increasing revenue as a member of our CRO Partners Program," said Jim Langford, DataLabs president. "DataLabs understands the challenges and opportunities that CROs face, and our DataLabsXC CRO Edition suite of software is proven to conduct trials faster, easier and with fewer resources, which benefits the entire spectrum of stakeholders in clinical trials."

The DataLabs CRO Partners Program makes accelerating clinical trials easy and affordable with the DataLabsXC CRO Edition suite of software for clinical study design, electronic data capture and data management, which can be privately labeled to the CRO partner and is configurable to meet the various processes of CROs' pharmaceutical clients. Unlike traditional application service provider (ASP) models, DataLabsXC offers CROs the flexibility to adapt the software to unique specifications and conduct studies in a cost-effective manner. The program also features flexible pricing options that provide partners with a path to increased revenues. For more information, please visit www.datalabs.com/cro.html.
