Advantages: Full version control
Being able to configure or modify any trial design from one point is not enough. To assure scientific integrity and regulatory compliance, organisations also need to be able to fully manage database configuration versions through each design change. Timaeus does this.
Version Control: At the core of Timaus
Timaeus incorporates Subversion, a true version management system, proven by millions across the software and information services industry, into the foundation of its database and configuration architecture. Subversion manages every data field, edit check, eCRF, etc. as a distinct configuration item, with its own version and history.
The benefits of full version control
As a result, Trial database configurators can use the Subversion tool to easily move the design forward or backward to any version or point in time. This provides greater agility to respond to trial design changes. It also improves quality control and support for audits and inspections.
The effect on trial operations
Contrast this to systems that do not (or cannot) provide true version management. In these systems, organisations are required to execute costly database snapshots and rollbacks to manage each configuration change. These make it impossible to do what Timaeus can do: modify live trials without downtime
