What Dacima Software does

Dacima Software, Inc. is a Montréal-based, privately held software company founded in 2003 and incorporated in 2006, operating since July 1, 2022 as a division of the EvidentIQ Group. The company builds Dacima Clinical Suite, a web-based Electronic Data Capture (EDC) platform that supports randomized clinical trials, observational studies, patient registries, ePRO/eCOA, eConsent, eDiary, IWRS randomization, supply management, medical coding (MedDRA/WHODrug), and pharmacovigilance workflows. The platform is differentiated by a no-programming-required form designer, an image-based data entry feature, dynamic visit scheduling, and an offline distributed database with intelligent synchronization for remote regions, and is delivered as a SaaS subscription with optional on-site installation.

The platform is regulatory-grade, with compliance to FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and ICH GCP, and supports CDISC ODM 1.3 web services for third-party integration. Dacima's customers include academic medical centers (Emory University, University of Washington, University of Ottawa Heart Research Institute, CHUM, Jewish General Hospital), hospitals and research institutes (Shriners, Montreal Neurological Institute), CROs (Julius Clinical), commercial life sciences firms (Immunotec, Laboratoires MédiS), and non-profit health organizations (Movember). Notable engagements include the COLCORONA COVID-19 trial with the Montreal Heart Institute and a global prostate cancer registry network with Movember spanning more than 130,000 subjects across 15 countries.

Dacima generates revenue primarily through annual or multi-year SaaS subscriptions priced on a quote basis against study parameters (subjects, users, centers, duration, modules), supplemented by professional services for eCRF design, SAS/biostatistics programming, and separate licensing for medical coding dictionaries. Distribution is enterprise field sales combined with inside-sales self-service inquiry flows, channel partnerships with CROs and N2 Canada, and integrations with Microsoft, Salesforce, and Rybbon (BHN Rewards). The company runs more than 100 concurrent studies and provides toll-free technical support in at least seven countries across North America, Latin America, South Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Direct peers

• Veeva Systems: Veeva's Vault EDC is a direct competitor targeting large and mid-sized life sciences sponsors. Like Dacima, it provides a unified platform with EDC, ePRO, IWRS, and supply management, but at a much larger enterprise scale.
• Medrio: Medrio provides cloud-based EDC, ePRO, and eConsent for clinical trials, with a strong mid-market and academic footprint similar to Dacima's. It targets Phase I-IV studies, registries, and observational research.
• Clinical Ink: Clinical Ink (now part of Emmes) provides eCOA, EDC, and ePRO solutions for clinical trials, with a strong focus on patient-facing data capture. It competes directly with Dacima's eCOA, ePRO, and eDiary modules.
• Formedix: Formedix provides a clinical trial standards platform for building CDISC-compliant EDC and submission datasets. It overlaps with Dacima's CDISC SDTM and ODM-XML capabilities and serves a similar mid-market sponsor and CRO base.
• OpenClinica: OpenClinica offers open-source and cloud EDC for clinical trials, registries, and observational studies. It directly overlaps with Dacima's target use cases (clinical trials, registries, academic research) and competes on configurability and price.
• Medidata Solutions (Dassault Systèmes): Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes company, is the dominant cloud-based EDC platform (Rave EDC) for clinical trials. It is the most direct competitor to Dacima's Clinical Suite, serving global pharma, biotech, and CROs with a full eClinical suite.
• Oracle Clinical One: Oracle Clinical One (formerly goBalto) is a unified clinical trial platform with EDC, randomization, and supply management. It competes head-to-head with Dacima in mid-market and large pharma, and brings Oracle's enterprise IT scale.

Emerging players

• Castor: Castor is a modern cloud EDC platform with a self-service, modular product similar in philosophy to Dacima Clinical Suite, serving academic, medical device, and emerging biopharma sponsors. It is one of the most visible next-generation EDC challengers.
• REDCap: REDCap is a free, widely-adopted EDC tool from Vanderbilt used heavily in academic and non-profit research. It directly overlaps with Dacima's academic and government segments and is a major indirect competitor on price-sensitive studies.
• Medable: Medable is a next-generation decentralized clinical trial platform with eCOA, eConsent, telehealth, and EDC. It overlaps with Dacima's patient-facing modules and represents the modern, AI-enabled direction of eClinical technology.
