Electronic Data Capture

EDC stands for Electronic Data Capture, a digital system used to collect, store, and manage data—especially in clinical trials, research, or enterprise networks—without relying on paper forms. In a network or IT infrastructure context, EDC platforms are often web-based and connected to centralized servers, allowing real-time data entry, remote access, user authentication, and secure transmission across systems.

In industries like healthcare, finance, and telecommunications, EDC systems are integrated into networks to streamline data workflows, ensure accuracy, and support analytics. Proper network configuration ensures that Electronic Data Capture tools function with high availability, data integrity, and regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
