We recently shared the exciting news with our users that we are planning the launch of EDGE 3 for autumn 2021. This will be following years of hard work by both our Development and Knowledge teams who have been devoted to bringing a new and improved version of the programme to all users globally.
EDGE 3 will be a complete system overhaul from EDGE 2, not only having a brand new interface but it will also contain enhanced features and functionality, making things easier and faster to use. Other positives include: improved user experience using new browser technology, support on multiple devices, faster turnaround time for new functionality development and an improved help & support centre. Further innovation is in the pipeline for EDGE 3 which will be communicated to EDGE users, along with regular updates on the progress. We will also be sharing important information regarding the shutdown of EDGE 2, as well as training and support guidance to ensure users are fully prepared for the new programme.
We will also be engaging with users on the development, testing and feedback of EDGE 3 at relevant times so keep your eyes peeled for further updates from us. Whilst all of the EDGE 3 work is taking place, our Knowledge and Development teams are continuing to support users on EDGE 2 as well as keeping up with the systems maintenance and working on any critical changes when required.
We are looking forward to sharing more information in the upcoming months - watch this space!
And to finish this short but sweet post, Dave Osler, Head of Knowledge provided me with the following quote which I thought I would share here:
“To say I am excited about the release of EDGE 3 is an understatement. Software is a rapidly evolving area, just look at the companies in the world like Apple, Tesla and Netflix, all able to deliver experiences to people that could barely be imagined 20 years ago. Building applications using new technologies is critical to achieve this, old technology simply cannot cut it anymore in today’s rapidly evolving environment. By utilising these new technologies, we can make huge strides forward at pace to deliver the solutions people need, when they need them. Clinical Research itself is rapidly evolving and needs organisations that can keep pace with it. Ultimately, research management is about delivering better care for patients and EDGE 3 will be the cornerstone that supports us all in delivering this”.
