Companies' Solutions Built on the Microsoft Office System Provides a Natural Fit

Bellevue, WA - February 17, 2009

NextDocs Corporation and TranSenda International, LLC have entered into a collaborative agreement to integrate and cross-sell their solutions. Combining NextDocs' Microsoft Office SharePoint Server-based document management solutions with TranSenda's Office-Smart clinical trial management solutions creates a unified best-of-breed solution. Life sciences organizations will be able to take advantage of the seamless ways in which each company's solutions naturally complement one another due to their use of the Microsoft Office System.

The NextDocs product suite is an easy to use solution that is designed to enable organizations to comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, GLP, GCP and other regulations and industry standards. Built on the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 platform, NextDocs Document and Compliance Suite delivers a complete content management and collaboration system for managing documents, records (e.g. training records), SOPs (standard operating procedures), activities and other information critical to the enterprise. The Suite provides organizations with the ability to track, approve, and manage data in a secure and centralized repository without sacrificing usability and affordability. Seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Office, the NextDocs Document and Compliance Suite is fully web-enabled and can be securely accessed from any location.

"Our partnership with TranSenda is another important step toward providing invaluable document and quality management solutions for life sciences organizations," said NextDocs CEO Zikria Syed. "Together we can offer added-value to organizations engaged in clinical trials and ensure that we continue to provide the most intuitive and productive solutions in this industry."

TranSenda's Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager^TM is unique in its ability to utilize the Microsoft Office System, creating a more efficient environment that unifies study software with the practical business-side of Office productivity tools. Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager is a comprehensive system for setting up and administering clinical studies while delivering unparalleled flexibility and ease of use. Using TranSenda's Office-Smart solutions, study professionals can take advantage of their experience with their favorite Office tools like Excel and Outlook, as they benefit from a study environment of less work-not more.

"We believe it is critical that a next-generation clinical trial management system be open and able to connect with other systems," said Robert Webber, President and CEO of TranSenda. "But the NextDocs partnership goes beyond just connecting two disjointed systems. Our unique relationships with Microsoft means we can work together to deliver a deeper and more compelling value proposition for organizations looking to optimize the management of their clinical trial."
Both NextDocs and TranSenda have worked closely with Microsoft to ensure their solutions align with the company's technology and overall vision for life sciences.

"Given the turbulence in today's economy, and the pressure of pipeline productivity on the industry, life sciences firms are looking for ways to improve efficiency, save money and get products to market faster," said Michael Naimoli, U.S. life sciences industry solutions director, Microsoft Corp. "NextDocs' document management solutions and TranSenda's clinical trials management solutions, combined, provide a comprehensive offering for clinical trial and regulated document management- seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Office - that tackles these issues head-on."
