A group of researchers and scientists from Columbia University observed the limitations of data capture tools available for clinical trials work. In 1999, Glen de Vries, Tarek Sherif and Edward Ikeguchi, MD, developed Medidata Solutions, a privately held New York City based company, with the goal of creating a powerful but user-friendly electronic data capture system for clinical trial use that would improve productivity and workflow.
Medidata Solutions has rapidly become a leading provider of web-based data management solutions for clinical trials, streamlining the process of collecting, verifying, and consolidating research data. The company’s products and services are designed for front-line clinical research, giving sponsors, investigators, monitors and data managers the earliest possible visibility into data. Better decision-making, improved resource allocation, and better science are the company’s goals. Medidata Solutions has recently expanded operations into Europe and Asia.
