"Because of the increased efficiency it affords, we integrated InForm with our Web-based clinical trial management and reporting system (CTMS), InfoLink. By leveraging the data visibility afforded by our technology platform, combined with our high efficiency clinical processes, we've reduced the time from Last Patient/Last Visit to database lock to between three to eight working days. In addition to its functionality, Phase Forward's worldwide experience will be particularly critical to PharmaLink as we anticipate future global engagements."
"As a firm that's focused on real-time clinical trial management, PharmaLink is at the vanguard of technology adoption," said Bob Weiler, president and chief executive officer, Phase Forward.
