Realizing the Vision
Phase Forward was founded in 1997 by Paul Bleicher, M.D, Ph.D., who had experienced firsthand the complexities involved in developing and conducting paper-based trials – in particular, capturing and managing growing volumes of data. Dr. Bleicher’s vision was to develop technology that would enable organizations to make the shift from paper-based methods to Internet-enabled solutions. His pioneering efforts have contributed significantly to Phase Forward’s evolution from initial concept to its current industry-leading position.
Spearheading the evolution of electronic data capture (EDC) with its industry-leading InForm? solution, Phase Forward has fundamentally transformed the way clinical data are collected, analyzed and managed. With the acquisition of Lincoln Technologies’ innovative safety management solutions, we have taken a major step in fulfilling our broader mission: to provide the end-to-end solutions our customers need to track and monitor product efficacy and safety, while building their trials more efficiently and cost-effectively.
