News:
Members of seven tech companies collaborate in the “Intelligent Automation Collective” The launch of the Intelligent Automation Collective (IAC) promises to be an interesting initiative, as it involves seven technology companies from across the intelligent automation sector, each known as one of the best in its field offering a key component of an IA solution. Alongside Emergence Partners, Enate, KYP.ai, OpenDialog, RPA Supervisor and XpertRule, Intelligent Document Processing vendor AntWorks is also part of the Collective. David Poole, lead spokesperson for the IAC and Chairman of Emergence Partners, commented: “It is a fact that software vendors don’t traditionally play nicely together and leave it to the customer to fix interoperability and deployment challenges. We set up the IAC to be different; to harness the power of true collaboration and create something that works for the client and their specific challenges and opportunities.”
Data capture company YonaLink raises $6M led by Debiopharm Clinical trial software provider YonaLink announced that it has raised $6 million led by Debiopharm Innovation Fund. The funding round also included Israel’s eHealth Ventures. Ophir Shahaf, Partner at eHealth Ventures, commented: “While clinical trial data capture and management has evolved from paper to software, they are still labor-intensive and largely manual processes. YonaLink is changing the paradigm with a solution that provides true automation. This technology can be used to help reduce the burden on research sites, lower trial costs, and enable efficiencies that speed time to market for clinical trial sponsors.” YonaLink will use the funding to bring more talent to the company, expand platform capabilities, and drive its adoption among clinical trial sponsors and their clinical research organization partners.
