CHRIS CONNOR JOINS PHOENIX DATA SYSTEMS AS DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
DALLAS, September 22, 2008 – Phoenix Data Systems (PDS), a subsidiary of Bio-Imaging Technologies
(NASDAQ: BITI) and global provider of clinical data services including electronic data capture (EDC) and
comprehensive eClinical data solutions, today announced industry veteran Chris Connor has been appointed to
the newly created position of director of product development. In this position, Connor will guide the software
development roadmap for PDS’ Express suite of eClinical technology products.
“Over the next five years, the major growth in EDC adoption will result from improvements in “clock-speed” and
efficiency that are required to support earlier stage studies,” said Connor. “PDS has consistently proven its ability
to deliver the benefits of EDC to the entire marketplace, not only those late stage studies with very large budgets.
No other supplier matches PDS’ record in this area.”
PDS’ eClinical technology suite is the foundation that enables PDS to deliver high-quality clinical data services
quickly and efficiently. As the director of product development, Connor will help define PDS’ product strategy and
services architecture.
“Chris has demonstrated an ability to identify technology and market trends well before they become apparent.”
said Mark Weinstein, CEO of Bio-Imaging Technologies. “It’s this eye toward the future that establishes him as an
industry thought leader. To state it simply, Chris just gets it. We’re excited to have Chris join our team, and I
expect PDS to accelerate its success as a premier provider of clinical data services.”
Prior to joining Bio-Imaging Technologies, Connor was senior research analyst at Health Industry Insights, an IDC
company. At Health Industry Insights, Connor managed the Clinical Development Strategy and Technology
service where he provided research and market analysis on key topics in the life sciences area. Leveraging his
experience in clinical development and IT, Connor focused on assessing the effect of eClinical software and
solutions with the potential to deliver value in the late stage drug development and clinical trial areas. Connor's
expertise included adaptive clinical trial design, EDC, clinical trial management systems (CTMS) technologies,
electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO), digital imaging and identifying emerging technologies and market
trends in the life science industry.
In previous positions, Connor held responsibility for business operations at WorldCare Clinical, an early leader in
the imaging core lab market. Before that, Connor was a principal in a consulting firm dedicated to best practices in
new product innovation and development. Connor has also led product management and technical marketing
efforts at Lucent Technologies, Brix Networks, 3Com, and Shiva Corporation.
PDS and Connor will be at the Society of Clinical Data Management (SCDM) 14th Annual Conference at the
Hyatt Regency Dallas, September 21-24 (booth #106/08). Additional information about Phoenix Data Systems is
