Oracle announced April 16 the acquisition of Phase Forward, which builds health care IT and life-science applications, in a cash merger worth about $685 million. The deal adds to Oracle’s health care IT portfolio at a time when the company is seeking to position itself as an end-to-end systems provider in a number of market segments, including health care.

Phase Forward has developed an SAAS (software-as-a-service) platform, termed the Integrated Clinical Research Suite, which allows health care workers to manage clinical development and medical safety processes.
