New York, January 14, 2003
IntraLinks, Inc., the leading provider of secure digital workspaces to the financial services and pharmaceutical markets, today announced that it has entered into a co-marketing agreement with Quorum Review Inc., an Institutional Review Board. A Quorum Review template will now be available within IntraLinks' clinical trial workspaces for potential investigators to utilize when submitting credentials for review.
"We work with hundreds of sponsors, contract research organizations, site management organizations and investigators. By using IntraLinks we are reinforcing our commitment to innovative methods of assistance in the clinical trial process and the reduction of turnaround time," said Greg Fritz, CEO of Quorum Review.
"Our partnership with Quorum Review provides our pharmaceutical clients with yet another link to an integral component of the clinical trial process. The IRB community on IntraLinks has grown tremendously over the past year, and we expect this growth to continue as we bring more IRBs into our drug development hub," said Richard Jenkins, General Manager of Life Sciences at IntraLinks.
IntraLinks' service connects members of the pharmaceutical community and accelerates the flow of information among IRBs, CROs, SMOs, investigators and pharmaceutical companies. By forming alliances with Quorum and other IRBs around the country, IntraLinks brings additional efficiencies to study start up for its pharmaceutical clients.
