EDETEK, Inc. Granted CDISC Registered Solution Provider Status

EDETEK, Inc. has joined a select group of just 16 other companies worldwide to receive the coveted Registered Solution Provider designation from the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC).

(Princeton, NJ; June 14, 2011) -- EDETEK, Inc., developer of its Panther CDISC SuiteTM Data Management platform, the only fully automated data management platform available, is pleased to announce its acceptance to the prestigious Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) list of Registered Solution Providers.

The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) is developing standard data models to define how clinical trial data should be collected, analyzed, exchanged and stored.

CDISC initiated the CDISC Registered Solution Providers (RSP) program to assist parties interested in implementing the accepted models with finding organizations that have demonstrated a high level of expertise. Those few organizations listed have passed intense CDISC scrutiny and are regarded as experts in the subject matter and are particularly well qualified to assist in the model implementation.

EDETEK is proud to join this list of only 16 other RSP companies worldwide to have attained this distinction.

EDETEK has developed the only data management platform which fully integrates all of the CDISC modules into a single, seamless integrated whole. Uniquely built on metadata architecture and the CDISC standards, EDETEK's Panther Suite is the first to essentially automate the data management process. The metadata approach allows options and efficiencies not available with traditional data management methods. Through the Panther Suite, EDETEK provides full end-to-end data management services, Legacy Data Conversion services for completed trials, data warehousing and CDISC implementation consulting.

EDETEK President Jian Chen stated, "EDETEK is actively and deeply committed to the continued improvement and implementation of the CDISC standards. As an active member in 16 of the Standard Development teams, EDETEK is proud to be included in CDISC's list of Registered Solution Providers. This selection validates the principles the company believes will drive the data management transformation in the future. We are convinced the analysis of data in clinical trials cannot continue in the ways of the past. Built on metadata architecture and CDISC standards, we believe our Panther CDISC SuiteTM is the first platform to successfully achieve the goal of integrating CDISC standards into a single, seamless platform. The combination has meant tremendous savings in time and dollars for our clients while greatly increasing data quality. We are committed to continuing to work with CDISC to move the standardization process forward."
