Competitive intelligence solution serves pharmaceutical industry
Thomson Reuters has launched Thomson Reuters Cortellis, which it describes as the next- generation solution for the life sciences industry. This resource brings together the company’s drug research and development data and the information management technology, ‘to transform the way pharma and biotech professionals access and use data across the entire drug research and development life cycle,’ says the company.
The technology will enable
companies to access data hosted within Cortellis and merge it with their own data, or with public data sources. The technology will allow customers access to Thomson Reuters data through an API (application programming interface), and a software development toolkit. This will enable customers to build tailored applications that meet the specifi c needs of their end users.
