TranSenda Releases Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager Version 2.0

New release expands functionality of industry's only Office-Smart CTMS

Bellevue, WA - June 11, 2009

TranSenda International, LLC, today announced the release of Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager v2.0, the latest addition to TranSenda's line of Office-Smart clinical trial solutions designed to help organizations take full advantage of their familiar Microsoft® Office tools.  The new version substantially expands the unique functionality offered by Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager (OSCTM), providing study professionals with enhanced interconnectivity between a comprehensive Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) and the Microsoft Office System environment.

TranSenda has also continued to introduce functionality in this release specifically designed to augment the usability of the Office system as a front-end for OSCTM for those study professionals who have limited needs to use core CTMS functionality, but still need access to the information contained within it. The integration between the OSCTM and the Microsoft Office environment that they use every day allows the continued use of a familiar system to access and manage a trial's operational data, assuring user adoption.

The release of OSCTM v2.0 represents a significant step forward in TranSenda's delivery of a next generation CTMS which enables unprecedented connectivity between people and data across trials, systems and regions. New features that TranSenda has included in the v2.0 release include: greatly expanding the bi-directional updates for information exchange between OSCTM and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) through use of ClinBUS®, TranSenda's advanced data interchange technology; the ability to create Microsoft's InfoPath forms and bind them to SharePoint lists, making the process of data collection and review much easier; capability to create ad-hoc events and case report form (CRF) pages, resulting in sleeker and deeper integration with electronic data capture applications; enhanced connectivity between global configuration settings and study-specific parameters; and ease-of-use improvements such as expanded identifier variables, advanced address handling and dedicated sign-in assistance.  Additionally, OSCTM v2.0 supports the requirements of the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration System, allowing users to access all of the data needed to comply with the corresponding regulations with the push of a button.

"TranSenda is very pleased to announce the release of the second version of our Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager solution," said Jeremiah Rehm, director of product management at TranSenda. "This essential upgrade improves upon what is already the only CTMS designed to work in concert with the Microsoft Office environment, and will allow our customers to take a step towards solving any CTMS adoption issue they may face by allowing their study professionals to work in the environment best suited to their needs".
