Rave Accredited: Partners can build and configure their customers' Rave studies. These organizations provide study build services, in addition to end user training, administration and reporting services.

Rave Accredited Plus: Partners can provide the full suite of Rave-related services, including end user training, study build, reporting, outputs, integrations and migrations. CROs at this level can serve as a sponsor's one-stop shop for Medidata Rave implementation services.
