Captiva Software

Captiva Software was a leading provider of enterprise input management and document capture solutions, with a significant focus on the life sciences and healthcare sectors. The company's technology, including its flagship InputAccel platform, was essential for pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations (CROs) transitioning from paper-based to electronic data management. By automating the extraction of data from clinical trial documents and regulatory forms, Captiva helped streamline the drug development process and ensure compliance with FDA regulations. The company's solutions were widely adopted for managing Case Report Forms (CRFs) and other critical R&D documentation. In 2005, Captiva was acquired by EMC Corporation for approximately $275 million to enhance its enterprise content management offerings. Following subsequent acquisitions, the Captiva technology suite is now part of the OpenText portfolio.
