How does Velos eResearch differ from other research management systems?

Velos eResearch focuses on the activities leading up to trial data collection and submission…

Most system solutions support either study management or electronic data capture. Some vendors have subsequently added capabilities, or merged third party software, to extend their offering. That's not at all the same as designing an integrated solution from the ground up. At Velos, study management and clinical data management are two sides of one coin.

Another area of distinction is in ability to solve information problems at the sites. Most major vendors have focused on the activities that begin with submission of trial data to sponsors . While such initiatives can accelerate drug approval, most of the ground to be gained from information technology lies in the activities leading up to study data submission. These activities include study design, patient recruitment, task/time management, study compliance, integration with other clinical systems at the sites, IRB functions, and so forth.

By far, this area of clinical trial activity represents the most elapsed time and inefficiency in clinical trials and, correspondingly, the largest return on investment for investigators and sponsors alike.
