- Clinical trial management
- Drug information
- Researchers list and diary

The central side among other facets of all the technologies is Electronic Data Capturing (EDC) factor. All the software as they provide the solution to the clinical research industry supports the feature of capturing data electronically. In all the software data is made centric and solutions are prepared with best of data back up support. The manual data is often prone to human mishandling and careless mistakes in factual transcript. Due to these factors all labs prefer to focus on this critical issue. Keeping in view the error free and reliable data storage, all the software ropes in EDC feature in their package.
To monitor EDC and keep track of concerned ethical issues in Clinical trials FDA 21CFR Part 11 Compliances, GCP-ICH. Going parallel to these regulations is mandatory for surviving and reaching high in the industry.
