TCD chose Flex Databases eTMF

At the end of 2020 TCD, an African-focused CRO with a full-service offering, signed a contract for eTMF implementation with Flex Databases.

We’ve asked Bianca Oelschig, Clinical Data Sciences Manager/Project Manager at TCD, a couple of questions about the upcoming partnership:

Why TCD decided to pick Flex Databases as a provider for eTMF?

After spending many months researching various TMF vendors we concluded that Flex Databases eTMF was a great fit for TCD. The software is well designed, user-friendly and extremely customizable to suit the needs of various clinical trials. The team from Flex Databases has been very efficient and helpful and we look forward to working with them going forward.

What do you expect to achieve with the implementation of Flex Databases?

We are looking forward to using Flex Databases eTMF module as it will allow for a completely paperless and remotely accessible TMF. This will result in all essential documents being available to be viewed by stakeholders all around the world, keeping all parties up to date on all aspects of the trial at all times.
