October 31, 2013

Medidata Solutions Inc (MDSO), a cloud-based software player in the clinical research segment, is gaining share and seeing accelerated revenue growth and margin improvement as it adds functionality to its core data-capture product, says David H. Windley, Managing Director at Jefferies & Company, Inc.

“[Medidata] has, in the clinical research world, a better mousetrap, and the customer base is recognizing that. Medidata is gaining share, displacing its competitors and seeing its revenue growth accelerate as a result. With that stronger revenue growth, it is also seeing margin improvement, which we think is important,” Windley said.

Medidata is seeing benefits as a cloud-based software company, Windley says, and is also developing more functionality to its core data-capture product, Rave, to aid clinical research operations in managing their activities.

Medidata benefits from the efficiency of deploying software solutions through the cloud. It is also developing complementary functionality to its core product, Rave, which is a data-capture tool. You could kind of think of it as the EMR for clinical trials. Medidata is trying to surround that with other functionality that helps the research enterprise manage its broad spectrum of activities,” Windley said.
