# Best Electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) Software - Page 3

*By [Emma Stein](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/emma-stein)*


Electronic trial master file (eTMF) software is a specialized content management system that captures, stores, and manages all essential documents and images from a clinical trial. These solutions speed up content management via templates, mobile scanning, document classification, AI-powered automation, and approval workflows.

Organizations such as pharmaceutical and biotech companies that conduct regulated clinical trials need to maintain a TMF to comply with government regulatory requirements. By digitizing essential trial documents and content, an eTMF offers greater quality control and visibility over processes and documentation, making it easier to audit content throughout the trial lifecycle to ensure compliance is being met. Sites, sponsors, and contract research organizations (CROs) can collaborate in real-time on the TMF, track key metrics for study completion, share and migrate content, and search and filter data.

An eTMF supports [clinical trial management software](https://www.g2.com/categories/clinical-trial-management) and [electronic data capture (EDC) software](https://www.g2.com/categories/electronic-data-capture-edc) by importing documents from both solutions, as well as automating the creation and filing of new documents using information stored in both.

To qualify for inclusion in the Electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) category, a product must:

- Provide pre-built and customizable TMF reference models, and allow specifications to be configured at the study, country, and site levels
- Track the status of all necessary trial documents from missing to completed stages and provide analytics
- Establish review and approval workflows
- Allow document authoring and collaboration between internal and external parties
- Comply with all relevant government regulatory requirements for clinical trials, such as 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, ANNEX 11, GxP, and GDPR
