Solution Updates
In their mission to help customers unleash their research potential, Forte announced several new software and services updates.
OnCore / Forte EDC / Participant Payments
Forte continues to reduce the administrative burden for its customers and further centralize operations across systems. OnCore now integrates with their electronic data capture system, Forte EDC and their automated participant payment system, Forte Participant Payments.
The integrations decrease duplicate data entry, increase data quality and streamline protocol operations.
