“I’m not interested in data; I’m interested in translating data into information for decision making. . . . So you take data, you turn it into information, you apply it, and you make better decisions because you know more than anybody else. I think that’s real power —and that was our hidden advantage for years.” – Leonard Schaeffer, Retired CEO, Wellpoint.

Is there any good indian companies in this space.

 

No claris life sciences is a pharma manufacturing company. I am talking about software companies catering to life sciences, i.e., pharma, biotech companies. This is a very niche area in software.

 

Veeva systems is the gorilla in the US in this space. All the large pharma companies are standardizing on this globally.
