CLEVELAND, June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DATATRAK International, Inc. (OTCQX: DATA), a technology and services company focused on global eClinical solutions for the clinical trials industry, today announced the signing of a five-year extension to the Enterprise Agreement and Marketing Alliance with NTT DATA Corporation. In addition, DATATRAK has agreed to extend its product’s capabilities in Post Marketing Studies and is adapting related functionalities in response to demands from the Japanese clinical trials market. The multi-year, multi-million dollar extension and development agreement allows NTT DATA to continue to be a value-added-reseller of DATATRAK eClinical® and to sell Enterprise Transfer services within the Japanese market.
The relationship consists of a five-year enterprise subscription license agreement through which NTT DATA continues to standardize on the DATATRAK unified platform for designing and delivering electronic clinical trials. The extension and development agreement was paid in full in accordance with the terms of the agreement and has the potential to increase in value as additional products and services provided by DATATRAK are contracted on an as needed basis.
“NTT DATA continues to be a successful strategic partner, and we are excited to assist in the delivery of DATATRAK eClinical® as they expand into the Japanese PMS market,” said Laurence P. Birch, DATATRAK’s Chairman of the Board and CEO. “The renewal of the Enterprise Agreement not only validates DATATRAK’s capabilities and effectiveness throughout international markets, but more importantly, it strengthens our financial position providing us the ability to fund additional growth opportunities and protect our intellectual property.”
