The ability to run efficient operations across all business areas is predicated in the need to access timely and accurate information. When working across different teams, departments and business units and when working with trusted third parties it is also essential that all parties share a common view and understanding of this information. Without this, time is spent finding, consolidating and cleansing data or debating the accuracy or meaning of the information presented.

Business & Decision provide solutions and consulting services to ensure that Life Sciences organizations manage data and information efficiently.

Using appropriate solutions from leading software partners, Federated Information management solutions provide user specific 360° views of the same information - products, sales, employees, contracts, orders, customers etc. Technology such as intranet and extranet sites and more advanced Portals provide configurable and context specific access to important information. As importantly, linking in to secure role based access, it is possible to ensure that access to information sets, records and individual fields can be restricted in order to meet regulatory or other confidentiality requirements.

Where information is based upon standard master data (e.g. Customer Masters, Item Masters, Supplier Masters, Recipes, Device Masters etc) it is important that all parts of the organization use the same master data, that this is defined, owned and efficiently maintained by an appropriate individidual or stakeholder group and that this master data is available to all users and systems that require access. Business & Decision again leverage solutions from leading software partners to help clients to define, manage and integrate their master data.

As experts in regulatory compliance and computer systems validation, Business & Decision also leverage appropriate tools and technology to assure data quality and the trustworthiness of information, ensuring that Master Data and Federated Information can be relied upon for GxP Decision Support.
