DSG Company History

DSG - Company History

DSG Inc. (Document Solutions Group) is the oldest and most trusted provider of EDC solutions in the industry.
Our roots run deep in clinical trials. Since our founding in 1992, DSG has produced the most innovative software solutions for the pharmaceutical, medical device and life sciences industries world wide.

Our corporation, software and services have grown through our understanding of technology and our collaborative approach with our clients. In our beginning, and before the internet became mainstream, DSG pioneered CRF document management software, setting an industry standard. Our best-of-breed CaseLink allowed individuals to build CRFs electronically, greatly reducing the amount of time it takes to run a clinical trial. CaseLink became the industry standard, and has been trusted and utilized world-wide by the top 5 pharmaceutical companies since 1992.

DSG continues to lead the way in the clinical trials software arena with eCaseLink EDC, Data Management services and CTMS.
