Toronto, Canada (July 23, 2007)—It is difficult to compete as a small- or medium-sized biotech company in the world of Big Pharma. If the goal is to bring innovative medicines to the marketplace in a cost-effective and timely manner, the road to success is fraught with obstacles, both large and small. What if there was software that could make the path to achieving those goals shorter and a whole lot smoother? In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has changed and it is no longer given that only the biggest companies with the most resources will win. In fact, some competitive advantages belong to the smaller companies alone. Those who are willing to consider new technologies and new methods, and are willing to adapt these new methods into their workflows have an advantage over the companies who show resistance to change.
