For many years the drug discovery and development process has been seen as too long and complicated. While Bioinformatics, modelling and simulation have reduced the need for experimentation, there is still a need to allow researchers to better understand their data without the use of programming tools or the intervention of IT experts.

Services and Support

As experts in the field of business intelligence and Life Sciences research, design and development, Business & Decision provide a range of services to assist Life Sciences clients to streamline their drug and device development processes.

Traditional analytical systems report on static or semi-static data warehouses, but miss most of the valuable data held at the departmental or personal level. This is the data most likely to be useful in understanding why something happened in the past and what is likely to happen in the future and which allows researcher to understand what their colleagues are working withour duplicating activities. Dynamic R&D departments need real-time access to all relevant data and to be able to report and analyze such data in intuitive and meaningful ways, without the need for specialist programming skills.

Business & Decision's experts use their knowledge of the Life Sciences industry and of vendors tools to help clients to select the right tools for the job and to apply them in a way that facilitates flexible and efficient working. This includes the use of traditional reports and dashboards as well as mashups (combining data and views from different sources) and advanced data visualization tools.

In additional to core business intelligence and analytics, Business & Decision's also apply technology to automate various modelling and simulation steps into a consistent and efficient process, allowing the research and development process to be streamlined through the definition of reproducable processes.
