Clinpro Inc. Selects VISTA

Investigative site technology assessment tool improves clinical study start-up for pharmaceutical companies, CROs and e-clinical providers

Media, PA April 15, 2004 - Scientific Software Tools, Inc. (SST), a leader in the area of technology enabling software and services for clinical trials, and Clinpro Inc., a leading Clinical Research Organization, announces that Clinpro Inc. has selected VISTA – the site technology assessment tool, as an added service for their clients.

Rich Purcell, president of Clinpro Inc., explains,  “One of the areas that can cause time delays in the study start-up process is the analysis of the existing infrastructure at the site level.  In the past we have had CRAs manually check hardware, software and Internet connectivity.  We have evaluated and tested VISTA as a way to more quickly and accurately gather this information.  It is simple, easy to use and based on our evaluation, we believe that our clients will gain some real time and cost advantages using VISTA.”
