Infosys has been rated as a ‘Leader and Star Performer’ in life sciences IT Outsourcing (ITO) in Everest Group’s report “IT Outsourcing in Life Sciences Industry – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix Assessment 2014.”
Infosys scored high in terms of the size and growth of its life sciences revenues in 2013, global delivery capability and overall market success. As per the report, this was aided by investments in proprietary solutions and an expanding portfolio of offerings in the life sciences space. This portfolio includes solutions that support drug discovery, clinical trials, sales force effectiveness, digital marketing, ERP, supply chain transformation, management of complex compliance processes and solutions to track and trace. Infosys’ clients in the sector include global and mid-sized pharmaceutical companies, biotech organisations, medical devices manufacturers, and drug distributors.
Manish Tandon, Executive VP and Global Head – Life Sciences and Services, Infosys said, “The life sciences industry is operating in a very dynamic landscape today with heightened regulatory scrutiny, patent cliffs, and growing incidence of mergers and acquisitions. Technology can play an important role to help life sciences companies embrace these changes and stay competitive. For example, Infosys recently launched a cloud-based solution to help enterprises in this industry reduce costs of regulatory compliance and clinical trial management while accelerating business processes.” Jimit Arora, VP, Everest Group, “The new surge in life sciences in ITO is driven by application portfolio modernisation, infrastructure transformation, and analytics. Life sciences enterprises are increasingly looking at service providers that can provide a blend of traditional and next-generation services. In the past year, Infosys has made investments to create a balanced portfolio of offerings across traditional and next-generation services. This has resulted in significant market success in large life sciences ITO contracts for the company and contributed to the rating of Leader and Star Performer in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix.”
