Bob Weiler, chairman and CEO of Phase Forward, said: “The first quarter was a strong start to the new year, with our top line and profitability results both coming in well above our guidance. During the first quarter, demand was broad-based across our suite of solutions and target markets.
“During the first quarter, we signed our first significant agreements that can be utilized for both electronic data capture (EDC) and our Clarix IRT offerings. We also recently expanded our overall value proposition with the acquisition of Waban Software. Phase Forward continues to outpace other clinical data solution vendors with the addition of integrated IRT and now statistical computing environment and clinical data repository solutions to our industry-leading EDC solution.”
