Clinical Data and Trial Management Services and Solutions Organization Leverages Medidata Rave Web Services API to Enable Data Sharing Between ClinPlus CTMS and Medidata Rave EDC/CDM
New York, NY/Bound Brook, NJ – April 6, 2011 – Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO), a leading global provider of SaaS-based clinical development solutions, and DZS Software Solutions, a specialty provider of clinical data and trial management software services and solutions, today announced the addition of DZS to Medidata’s Technology Partner Program. The partnership recognizes that DZS has enhanced its ClinPlus® clinical trial management system (CTMS) to automatically share trial data with the Medidata Rave® electronic data capture (EDC) and clinical data management (CDM) platform using its Web Services API, eliminating redundant data entry.
DZS works with a range of biotechnology and pharmaceutical organizations worldwide who are trying to improve clinical data and trial management using best-of-breed clinical technologies. In response, DZS has introduced a new version of their ClinPlus CTMS with new functionality that helps overcome a common, complex challenge of sharing trial data between EDC systems and trial management systems. With an efficient and error-free method of bringing trial data captured within Medidata Rave into ClinPlus CTMS, DZS is now better able to serve customers with rapid, automated transfers of trial data, such as patient enrollment, patient visit, dropout and discontinuance data.
Clinical trial sponsors can now utilize both solutions together to further improve trial efficiencies, including faster availability of comprehensive trial data to help reduce redundant or incorrect investigator, patient enrollment and site visit data and support better decision making. With earlier access to patient milestone data, sponsors have the ability to make more timely payments to investigators, which contributes to site satisfaction and retention.
"DZS continues to focus on improving clinical trial productivity in all phases of the clinical trial process by using technologies that leverage the value of trial data and improve the quality of that data to support regulatory approval for new compounds and medical devices. Our partnership with Medidata Solutions positions DZS to take advantage of a leading EDC breakthrough solution that is quickly becoming a major force in the drug development arena,” said Doron Steger, CEO, DZS Software Solutions.
Since its introduction in June of 2009, Medidata's Technology Partner Program has grown to include 12 independent technology vendors that offer specialized solutions supporting data sharing with Medidata products in order to streamline and enhance the end-to-end e-Clinical process.
"We welcome DZS as a Medidata Technology Partner and are excited that our customers have the choice of leveraging DZS’ easily configurable solution to streamline their trial management activities,” said Glen de Vries, president, Medidata Solutions. “DZS designed their solution for customers around the globe who are increasingly looking to efficiently use an advanced CTMS solution alongside Medidata Rave."

Strategic Alliance between DZS/and APT will facilitate Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery of their recently launched ClinPlus Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS) and future Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and Medical Coding applications in a fully validated 21 CFR Part 11 compliant manner.
Bound Brook, NJ - April 19, 2010 - DZS Software Solutions, Inc. and APT Information Technology Consultants of Allentown, PA have formed a strategic alliance for APT to provide clinical information systems management and hosting services via their WebtrialZ offering to enable software delivery as a service (SaaS) for DZS's recently released, web-based clinical trial management software as well as their future EDC and Coding solutions. Both companies plan on demonstrating their solutions at the upcoming ACRP Global Conference in Tampa, FL, April 23rd - 27th. (DZS Booth #529 and APT Booth #229)
SaaS-enabled technologies have gained increased popularity of late because they can be implemented without IT department support, don't require significant up-front capital investment, and eliminate the need for installed servers and the associated maintenance costs. All that's required is an internet connection and browser. Until recently, skeptics have been reluctant to adopt SaaS technology in part because of security concerns. However, using APT's WebtrialZ Services, software applications can be deployed rapidly with the assurance that the data is safe, secure and managed to a level that will meet the 21 CFR Part 11 standards and the most rigorous Pharmaceutical Sponsor audit. APT has extensive experience managing and documenting clinical information systems with services that include the creation and management of IQ/OQ documents for the servers, software and associated equipment, and an established change-management process used to facilitate and document any system changes.
The availability of ClinPlus CTMS in a SaaS delivery model is also an extremely important and timely development for many emerging Life Science organizations struggling with the challenges of improving clinical trial productivity while at the same time reducing expenses. "The appeal of this delivery model is its immediate availability to Life Science companies of all sizes, and its ability to accommodate a wide range of the requirements needed to quickly and effectively deploy the software and get clinical studies up and running in weeks and not months," said Bob Borysko, DZS's VP of Product Development. "By improving global user accessibility and communications, tremendous efficiencies and time-savings can be realized, manual operations can be reduced and redundant data and tasks can be completely eliminated."

DZS Software Solutions, Inc., developers of the ClinPlus brand of products, and a technology and services leader focused on global clinical trial solutions, today formally announced the launch of its new website found @ www.clinplus.com.
Bound Brook, New Jersey (September 28th, 2009) - The latest release is designed with the overall visitor experience in mind. In addition to the overall experience, the new website heightens ClinPlus brand recognition and promotes its continuously expanding product and services offerings like its recently released Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS). The new Website is a collaboration between DZS's marketing department and "Geeks on Steroids" web design firm located in Columbia, South America.
"Our new website is a great representation of the ClinPlus brand and what it represents. We have made it a point after launching ClinPlus almost 15 years ago to engage our customers at all levels and the intranet has become the one constant in terms of where customers turn for information about a company and its products and services. The web is a powerful tool and in many cases it is the first impression to the customer of what a brand represents both in terms of image and product. We want to immerse new and current customers alike in the ClinPlus experience," says DZS CEO, Doron Steger.
"The Social Network Marketing trend is beginning to make its imprint on nearly every industry and Life Sciences is no exception, as brands look for new avenues to market to their customer base. ClinPlus's new website will serve as a foundation for exploring these emerging new social mediums and support our commitment to creating global brand awareness through thought leadership. It will also serve as gateway for information about industry best practices and DZS products and services," comments Keith Ward, DZS's Director of Global Marketing. What we are announcing today is just the first phase. It will only get more exciting as we continue development and build off the client interest," adds Ward.

ClinPlus® web-based (CTMS) proves to be best choice for proprietary device technology using trans-cranial laser therapy (TLT) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and other neurological diseases and disorders.
Bound Brook, NJ (September 15, 2009) - DZS Software Solutions, Inc., developers of the ClinPlus brand of products, and a technology and services leader focused on global clinical trial solutions, announced today they have entered into an agreement with PhotoThera, Inc, of Carlsbad, CA to provide Clinical Trial Management Software (CTMS) for their upcoming pivotal clinical trial involving transcranial laser therapy (TLT).
PhotoThera selected DZS‘s new web-based CTMS after an extensive RFP process involving over 10 different CTMS solution providers. "After reviewing a variety of competitive CTMS systems, DZS's ClinPlus CTMS emerged as the most logical fit for our needs and budget", said Cindy Croissant, PhotoThera's Director of Clinical Operations. "One of the main reasons we decided on DZS, was the fact that we found the intuitive design of the system to be easy to navigate, which we felt eventually would translate into less training time and less potential for errors and frustration among the system users. We were also impressed with the simple elegance of the system, the attention to detail, and DZS's commitment to configure and deliver a product to meet our unique requirements," added Ms. Croissant.
The ClinPlus CTMS improves site productivity by eliminating redundant systems and existing manual tasks and helps enforce PhotoThera's adherence to trial procedures and regulatory compliance. The system also helps provide a real-time trial financial and recruitment picture with immediate access to data about patient recruitment, site payments and supply inventory. The ClinPlus CTMS will enable PhotoThera Clinical Research and Engineering professionals to be proactive rather than reactive, and control and manage trials in ways not possible when only spreadsheets or manual processes are used. The system also alerts users of out-of-window patient visits, late monitoring visit reports, documents due to expire, and other unresolved monitoring issues. And because the system is web-based, all that's needed is an internet connection and a computer. This allows users around the world to access data immediately and make changes as needed, preventing frustration and errors which commonly happen when one user makes and distributes all changes. As a hosted solution ClinPlus CTMS offers low start-up costs of between $50.-120./month per user, with very few IT implementation issues, robust data security, and unmatched levels of efficiency. And, by improving overall efficiency, ClinPlus CTMS helps reduce overall product timelines and the ability to meet trial deadlines.

ClinPlus® expands their existing suite of clinical trial software and service solutions to include web-based Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS)
-resized-600.jpg)
Bound Brook, NJ (June 15, 2009) - DZS Software Solutions, Inc., developers of the ClinPlus brand of products, is a technology and services leader focused on global clinical trial solutions. DZS today announced they will be unveiling new branding as well as a new Clinical Trials Management System (CTMS) and a number of exciting new features and functionality to their existing ClinPlus Solutions Suite of products that include ClinPlus® Data Management and ClinPLus ®Coding.
Until recently, many research organizations have delayed the adoption of new CTMS technology due to the complexities of implementing such a system across their enterprise. Technological change of this scale that affects all areas of an organization requires new workflows and changes in inefficient, but well established manual routines can be extremely difficult and time-consuming to accomplish.
DZS‘s new web-based ClinPlus CTMS, based on Microsoft .NET technology makes the utilization and integration of information across the enterprise much easier than in the past. The ClinPlus CTMS dramatically improves site productivity by eliminating redundant systems and manual tasks and helps enforce adherence to trial procedures. The system also provides a real-time trial financial and recruitment picture with immediate access to data about patient recruitment and reimbursement. ClinPlus CTMS is designed to track the status of people, events, data and finances and documentation involved in and required for a clinical trial. It tracks planned activities and events to ensure that they occur, and notifies users about upcoming activities and events. The system allows research professionals to be proactive rather than reactive where possible, and enables the control and management of clinical trials in ways not possible when only spreadsheets or manual processes are used. The ClinPlus CTMS can proactively warn organizations of out-of-variance patient visits, deficient regulatory documents or documents due to expire, and unresolved monitoring issues. This capability enables resolution of queries within minutes rather than hours needed to find and possibly miss these issues. And because the system is web-based, all that's needed is an internet connection and a computer. As a hosted solution it offers low start-up costs, very few IT implementation issues, robust data security and unmatched levels of efficiency. And, by improving overall efficiency, ClinPlus CTMS helps reduce product timelines and meet trial deadlines.
DZS/ClinPlus will be exhibiting their suite of products at the San Diego Convention Center, Booths 1024-1026 from 9AM Monday June 22nd through 4:00PM Wednesday June 24th. Prospects are encouraged to arrange comprehensive system demonstrations by contacting: salesandmarketting@clinplus.com.
