Secure and compliant Investigative site technology assessment tool improves
clinical study start-up for pharmaceutical companies, CROs and e-clinical providers
MEDIA, PA June 8, 2004 - Scientific Software Tools, Inc.
(SST), a leader in the area of technology enabling software and services for
clinical trials, and APT, Inc., the developer of WebtrialZ, a professional and
compliant hosting service for pharmaceutical information systems, announces
that APT, Inc. has selected VISTA, the site technology assessment tool, as an
added service for its WebtrialZ clients and that
SST will utilize WebtrialZ
services for hosting VISTA implementations that require a secure compliant environment.
The two companies have entered into a non-exclusive co-marketing agreement.
Richard McSweeney, Director, Sales and Marketing for APT explains,
“Initially SST approached us as a potential customer for our hosting and
deployment services. Once we saw VISTA, we realized that this was a tool
that could add significant value to our clients. Many of our customers deploy
clinical applications across hundreds of physical locations. Knowing in
advance that the computer systems at these locations will be able to support
the application is key”.
Dr. Roy Furman, co-founder and CTO of SST, Inc adds, “WebtrialZ provides
the professionally managed and validated environment many of our clients require.
We look forward to working with APT to provide solutions that ease the functional
and regulatory barriers to e-technology adoption in clinical trials”.

About VISTA
VISTA is a web-based application that removes time, cost and inaccuracies
from the investigative site technology assessment process. Designed with
non-technical users in mind, potential investigative sites log in to a password-controlled
site, click a button, and all of the machine specifications (hardware, software,
internet connectivity, security) are automatically captured and reported. Identify
problem sites before they become problems, improve support and trouble-shooting,
and manage the security of your data over the study life cycle.
