Sponsor’s Study Requirements Cause Leading EDC Provider to Recognize Importance of Automated Site Assessment

Problem:

Requests for proposals (RFP) from important study sponsor mandated that automated site assessment be carried out before proceeding with EDC study
Highly detailed information about site technology infrastructure was required
Study timeline was short and EDC vendor recognized that too much costs and time will be needed to develop and maintain their own automated site assessment technology

Seek a fully automated solution to obtain information required about site technology infrastructure
Solution should accurately capture hardware, software, and connectivity information quickly and easily
Solution should be cost-effective while allowing EDC vendor to meet the sponsor’s requirements within the study timeline

VISTA, the customized, web-based solution proposed by SST, provided an automated assessment of the sites’ computer infrastructure within seconds to minutes anywhere around the world at any time of the day
Comprehensive assessment reports containing all required data points were quickly and easily generated with 100% accuracy
EDC vendor was able to focus their limited resources on the core business while satisfying the sponsor’s requirements for automated site assessment
