VISTA is a web-based application that removes time, cost and inaccuracies from the investigative site technology assessment process. Designed with non-technical users in mind, potential investigative sites log in to a password-controlled site, click a button, and all of the machine specifications (hardware, software, internet connectivity, security) are automatically captured and reported. Identify problem sites before they become problems, improve support and trouble-shooting, and manage the security of your data over the study life cycle.
