IntraLinks Announces New Tool for Life Sciences Data Capture and Submission-Based Business
Introduces Paperless Solution for the Clinical Trials Process Built With Adobe(R) LiveCycle(R) Enterprise Suite
| Source: IntraLinks
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - IntraLinks®, the leading provider of critical
information exchange solutions, today announced a strategic partnership
with Adobe Systems Inc. to develop comprehensive solutions that will
automate cross-organization data capture and submission based-business
processes within the life sciences industry.
The initial solution IntraLinks and Adobe are bringing to market addresses
the document-intensive clinical trial process. The solution combines the
strengths of IntraLinks' solutions, which facilitate the secure, compliant,
and auditable exchange of critical information inside and outside the
enterprise, and the Adobe® LiveCycle® Enterprise Suite (ES). The new tool
provides clinical trial managers with a single, tightly-integrated platform
to first conduct electronic data capture and then securely manage, organize
and share content across firewalls with sponsors, CROs and investigative
sites.
Specifically, the joint solution will help improve workflow during the site
recruitment and study start-up phases of a clinical trial. Once an
electronic form is created using LiveCycle ES, IntraLinks' validated
platform manages the external workflow to organize, distribute, collect,
and track e-forms across the firewall with email notifications and an easy
"one-click to submit" process for the e-form. LiveCycle ES completes the
process by automatically retrieving the completed forms from IntraLinks and
routing them through an internal review and approval process.
"Building on Adobe's LiveCycle ES, IntraLinks will leverage its secure and
auditable information exchange platform to create a truly paperless
solution for the clinical trials process," said Alison Shurell, vice
president of marketing for IntraLinks. "This new platform replaces
inefficient and non-secure methods of sharing sensitive clinical trial
documents such as email, fax and courier."
"Life sciences professionals who already depend on Adobe's LiveCycle ES for
data capture and submission based processes will now have a comprehensive
solution for document-centric workflows," said Melonie Warfel, director
Worldwide Standards & Life Sciences for Adobe Systems Inc. "Together, Adobe
and IntraLinks will work to make clinical trial management an efficient,
paper-free process."
