10/21/2008 Research outsourcing marketplace for a Fortune-50 pharmaceutical company.
This fall marks an anniversary of the inaugural project that got our company started. On October 21, 2008, IFXworks LLC Principal, Dr. Vladimir Makarov, closed a long-term software development project that he had managed for the previous 12 months on behalf of a major pharmaceutical company based in La Jolla, CA. The main focus of this effort was creation of the industry-leading electronic marketplace for contract research services specific to pharmaceutical research and development. “Today the pharmaceutical industry is shifting to the business model based on outsourcing of various business processes. Outsourced work may include such steps as target discovery, parallel organic synthesis, and screening, in addition to traditionally outsourced clinical research. As this trend is spreading through the industry, we expect that demand for contract reaserch services would explode. This growth, in turn, necessitates the need for specialized exchange platforms”, commented Dr. Makarov. IFXworks played a management consulting role in this project and collaborated with off-shore development partners to deliver the system on time and under budget.
