“We’re thrilled to be the only company to be designated both a leader
and star performer,” said Glen de Vries, president and co-founder,
Medidata.

Everest Group noted that as a leader, Medidata has established itself as
a front runner to support life science firms looking to achieve digital
transformation within clinical trials. The report notes that leaders
have showcased:

  • An integrated end-to-end platform offering for processes across the
    complete clinical trial
  • A healthy mix of mid-and large-sized clientele, with accounts in many
    prominent life science firms
  • Technological expertise and the ability to incorporate digital
    technology themes within their products
  • Consulting pedigree to add to strong product functionality

“The clinical trials landscape has a significant opportunity for
digitalization focused on enhancing trial efficiency, optimizing costs,
and reducing cycle time to get drugs to market faster. Currently, most
life sciences firms use disparate point solutions for different
functions across their clinical trials. Medidata is ramping up Rave and
enhancing its portfolio through Acorn AI and SHYFT. Its focus on
enabling an intelligent platform underpinned by AI positions it well to
partner with life sciences enterprises on this journey,” said Nitish
Mittal, Practice Director at Everest Group.

There are five distinguishing features which Everest Group identified
which make Medidata a Star Performer in this year’s report:

  • Introduction of Acorn AI, a platform incorporating digital technology
    themes to enhance clinical trials
  • Building upon its reputation for being a leading vendor in the market
    for EDC solutions
  • High market adoption for data capture and Rave
  • Enterprise that began with only EDC solutions are expanding and
    opening up to other Medidata products/solutions and expanding the
    engagement
  • Consulting pedigree and effort invested in understanding customers’
    business
