This EDC is very user-friendly and allows for easy view of which pages are pending/reviewed/monitored. Logline options for Adverse Events, Concomitant Medications and Drug dosing allow for simple corrections and quick review of any changes required.

I have used IBM Clinical Development for 6+years. It has very good functionality, offers lots of flexibility and is easy for the sites and CRAs. The system offers a modular approach, so you can select (and pay for) only the modules you want. On the downside, some of the modules are must haves and you have to pay for them when other systems include them in the base fee. The system really requires a programmer to set-up the studies and to be able to utilize all the functionality, and the customer support can be extremely slow. The reporting functionality is poor unless you purchase the reporting module, which is expensive. However, the programmers can program reports using the exports, so there is a way around reporting, these reports would just not be in the system for the users. The fees associated with the use of the software are high.

reporting features, necessity of needing a programmer to set-up, costs, user support

Great Electronic Data Capture features Cost effective Many standard reports available

Not effective on large clinical studies using IBM CD

I used it to submit my assay results, review analysts results and double-check data reports

It works although it's old and clunky and feels like windows 95 level technology. Using IBM Clinical Development allowed us to track assay performance, analytical reports and pretty much anything that was data related in the lab

It's old and because it is so deeply rooted in your lab environment you dont really have the choice to explore competitors without losing a lot of money on sunk cost. Also, any time something needed to be validated, our life would get really hard
