Web Collaboration Application Secures Clinical Drug Trial Data; Vital Systems Utilizes DayPoint System to Safeguard Research Data

Greenville, SC - - April 7, 2005 - - TeamPoint Systems, Inc., a leading provider of intranet, extranet and collaboration solutions, reveals how their DayPoint Enterprise has become a critical tool for clinical trial research projects for companies conducting research for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). TeamPoint client Vital Systems relies on the DayPoint application for secure file storage and sharing of data related to clinical drug trial research projects. Vital Systems is a research support organization offering assistance to companies conducting clinical trials and market research. With DayPoint Enterprise, Vital Systems provides project team members with a secure study portal serving as a single access point available 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

"We are able to create a project site in minutes where all team members can securely post their files or instantly access existing information," states George Stoms, president, Vital Systems. "What used to take days to setup and often involved expensive conference calls to discuss project details is now accomplished in a matter of minutes. Sponsor employees, doctors and authorized team members worldwide have the ability to submit, post and review case report forms and key study documents in a project website hosted within our own secured IT environment."

The process of posting and accessing confidential data reports has been streamlined and simplified through DayPoint Enterprise's secure document management module. By using DayPoint to store critical report data, Vital Systems' clients simply email links to confidential documents without having to email the file itself. This process allows confidential data to remain fully secure in folders only accessible through authenticated and approved user groups. Not only is the quality of information protected, but the process satisfies the confidentiality requirements mandated by regulatory authorities.

DayPoint Enterprise has allowed Vital Systems to economically create a competitive advantage, offering value to its clients through this document management and other DayPoint functionality capabilities.
