In addition, OpenClinica 3.0 will be exhibited at the annual conference of the Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM), October 4-6 in Seattle, Washington.

OpenClinica version 3.0 contains powerful new capabilities for making EDC and clinical data management more productive, such as automatic job scheduling, enhanced support for medical coding, and a web services interface. Cal Collins, CEO of Akaza Research, noted, "For our 3.0 release, OpenClinica community members have been intimately involved in product development and pilot testing. This has produced features that will greatly increase the productivity and accuracy of CRCs, investigators, monitors, and data managers."

At the upcoming conferences, instances of the software will be readily available for people to "test drive," and experts will be on hand to answer questions.
