Datatrak International, a developer of cloud-based, unified eClinical technologies for the clinical trials industry, will expand office locations to include downtown Chicago in early 2015.

"Chicago offers Datatrak an exceptional talent pool, and is easily accessible by our global clients," said Laurence P. Birch, Datatrak chairman and CEO. "We considered many locations, including Austin and San Francisco, but ultimately chose Chicago for these reasons, and to take advantage of the growing technology industry and the presence of leading life sciences companies. We are actively hiring in Chicago and will continue to focus our recruiting efforts in the Chicagoland area."

Datatrak will continue to operate in its four existing locations, including Cary Research Triangle Park (RTP), N.C.; Bryan, Texas; Cleveland and London.
