For the last 10 years, CRIS, Sierra's lead product, has responded to the industry's unmet triple-demand for data integration, compliance and convenient data accessibility by delivering solid information on clinical trials - from enrollment, protocol violations, and CRFs, to outstanding queries and center closeouts - in real time, anytime you need it, anyway you want to see it.

Now in its seventh version, CRIS remains the original truly integrated, Part 11-compliant clinical research software package, which is why local, national and international medical products companies have chosen CRIS for numerous clinical research studies.
