CHICAGO, IL – May 3, 2011


ClearTrial today announced that it has been included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the "Cool Vendors in Life Sciences, 2011"i report by Gartner, Inc.   Authored by Gartner Research Vice President Steven Lefebure and Gartner Managing Vice President Dale Hagemeyer, the report explores key challenges faced by life sciences companies and discusses the ClearTrial solution for planning, forecasting, and tracking of clinical project and financial performance.  The complete report is available to view and download at http://www.cleartrial.com/gartner-cool-vendor-2011.

The Gartner "Cool Vendors in Life Sciences, 2011" report identifies technology companies in the life sciences that are:

  • Innovative, enable users to do things they couldn't do before
  • Impactful, have, or will have, business impact (not just technology for the sake of technology)
  • Intriguing, have caught Gartner's interest or curiosity in approximately the past six months

According to the report, "Life science companies collect vast amounts of structured and unstructured data from clinical and commercial efforts. However, classic business intelligence tools are often inadequate to handle this data in a way that provides value for the enterprise."

"We're honored to be named a 'Cool Vendor in Life Sciences' for 2011 by Gartner," noted Mike Soenen, CEO of ClearTrial. "This is really a testament to our vision of helping life science companies manage the increasing complexities of planning and conducting clinical studies to bring new treatments to market more quickly and cost-effectively. What's more, it's a tribute to the hard work and dedication of everyone at ClearTrial in helping turn that vision into reality."
