Some of Our Life Sciences Customers

Life Science Customers

Challenges we help organizations solve include:

R&D Inefficiency

Lack of easy and rapid access to information causes duplication of effort in R&D, is extremely expensive, and slows innovation.

M&A Integration

The cadence of biotech mergers and acquisitions is accelerating, and the inability to quickly access information across the merged organization causes lost revenue and missed market opportunities.

Provider Services

Healthcare providers are an essential part of the supply chain, and poor or slow provider service is costly, frustrating, and results in poor customer service.

Employee Collaboration

When collaboration and co-operation is poor, innovation and efficiency suffer. Existing information isn’t leveraged and knowledge and expertise doesn’t get transferred properly.

Regulatory Compliance

Adherence to FDA guidance, compliance and regulatory requirements under tight timelines is extremely difficult, and the cost of penalties and recalls is enormous.

Clinical Trial Management

In deciding whether to continue or stop drug trials, a lack of key information can result in billion dollar mistakes. Educated decisions require access to all clinical trial data available.

Intranet Engagement

If users are not actively engaging with their intranet multiple times a day, then it is not as effective as it could be. Lack of intranet utilization can have a detrimental impact on an organization’s efficiency.
