OnCore Version 11.0 Offers Unprecedented Configurability Of Enterprise-wide Clinical Research Data Management

MADISON, Wis., May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Large clinical research organizations can now administer their clinical research data across multiple organizational units within a single system while giving each research group their own virtual environment when they use Version 11.0 of the OnCore® clinical and translational research platform. OnCore's creator, Forte Research Systems, Inc., has taken the system's signature configurability for supporting individual workflows at an organization down to the departmental level.

"While each research group or department feels like they are looking at their own instance of OnCore, the system provides true enterprise-wide visibility into the entire clinical research portfolio. And, when everyone uses the same clinical data repository, the duplication of effort related to data entry is virtually eliminated," said Srini Kalluri, Founder, President, CEO, & Chief Customer Experience Officer at Forte Research Systems.

Beyond workflows, the configurability of OnCore extends to the look and feel as well as the behavior of the system. In Version 11.0, team members of individual organizational units see the unique configuration for their own group including department-specific drop-down menus, electronic case report forms, and staff lists.

"We're truly proud that we can support the enterprise-wide viewpoint while still supporting the local nuances of individual groups," said Kalluri. "Now sites have an additional option besides systems that just cater to the lowest common denominator."

In addition to this much anticipated functionality, there are more than 200 enhancements in OnCore Version 11.0. Enhancements were made in such areas as reporting, administration, clinical trial financials management, workflow support, protocol calendar development, regulatory and billing compliance, security, biospecimen management, and registries management. Additionally, a great deal of work went into the Software Developer’s Toolkit (SDK), which allows OnCore to interface with a variety of external systems.
