EDGE is used by a wide range of research professionals, including Pharmacists, Clinical Trial Assistants and Research Governance Officers. We are very proud of the feedback and comments we receive. Here is just a handful of user testimonials:

 
“The implementation of EDGE finance has overhauled our commercial research trial cost recovery. Our income generation has improved dramatically, enabling us to use the income to employ two members of staff for a dedicated commercial research team. Other benefits include succinct workflow, no more Excel spreadsheets and improved financial transparency. Finance reports are presented to departments which raises R&D’s profile within the Trust and enables dedicated job plan discussions for clinicians wishing to undertake research.
”
— Marthe Ludtmann, Commercial Research Manager, York & Scarborough Teaching Hospitals, England - UK
“The flexibility offered by EDGE means we have been able to successfully introduce it not just to the research staff but also to our service departments, such as Imaging, who traditionally have used standalone systems. This means we are benefiting as we can use the system as an intelligent data management tool to fully integrate information from all departments to produce meaningful, quality data for outcome analysis.”
— Maria Maguire, The Clatterbridge Centre NHS Foundation Trust, England - UK
“My experience using EDGE is one full of gratitude and appreciation. The system is very easy to use. Not only does the system promote collaboration with our partners, it is in real time and I greatly appreciate the various reporting functionalities of the system. I can see at a glance all our research studies and easily track their status on EDGE. I am grateful to the special team that put this system together. You have done a great job!”
— Oge Ezeh, Covenant Health, Alberta - Canada
“EDGE has enhanced my organisational skills, IT skills, and communication skills through its usage, as my core team of colleagues can see my activity in terms of recruitment per month. It gives me focus and structure to see how my activity is, has been, and what is still to be achieved. I have made it a part of my recruitment routine so it is no extra effort to input the details. I like that it is all in one place. ”
— Davina Hewitt, Urology Research Sister, University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire - UK
