Phase Forward Incorporated was a U.S. company that developed and distributed laboratory informatics software, with a strong focus on the life sciences.

History

Acquisition of Waban Software

On April 22, 2009, Phase Forward announced that it had acquired Waban Software, Inc., including products Waban SMS and Waban LIMS.[1] The Waban products were apparently merged into a Phase Forward offering called Clinical Development Center.[2]

Acquisition by Oracle

Oracle Corporation announced on April 16, 2010 that it had an agreement to acquire and integrate Phase Forward into its structure.[3] The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), however, questioned the acquisition, extending an antitrust review on May 28.[4] The DoJ finally cleared the acquisition on August 6[5], and the acquisition was finalized on August 11, 2010.[6]

Phase Forward's LabPas software survived as Oracle Health Sciences LabPas.[7] Clinical Development Center survived as Oracle Health Sciences Clinical Development Center.[8]
