Alliance to Provide Professional Consulting Services and Information Management Technologies for Improved Scientific Information Management

NuGenesis Technologies, developers of NuGenesis Scientific Data Management Systems (SDMS) software, today announced a business alliance with PA Consulting Group, a global management, systems and technology consulting firm. PA has a particular focus in consulting in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.

Critical to the drug development process is the effective management and maintenance of data generated on a daily basis by research and development activities. PA and NuGenesis Technologies will work with companies to capture the value of this scientific data as a corporate asset by implementing innovative technology to enhance e-business enabled research and development, improve knowledge transfer, enhance compliance with regulations, and integrate scientific content across the global pharmaceutical research & development value chain.

"Through this alliance we are providing proactive information management solutions for the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries," said Michael E. McGuinness, president of NuGenesis Technologies Corporation. "PA enables us to widen our scope through their innovative and pragmatic approach to improve and shorten development time scales."

"Information is the lifeblood of pharmaceutical research and development and new e-technologies, such as the solutions offered by NuGenesis Technologies, which will allow our clients to deliver their new drug products faster and more efficiently to the market," commented Jim Hall, global leader for PA's Life Sciences and Technologies practice. "As the industry consolidates, companies are actively seeking ways to harmonize and integrate the way they manage their drug discovery and development processes across a diverse and globally distributed network of research and development sites. In this environment, process improvement and the adaptation of new information technologies must drive the next wave of performance improvement. We believe this alliance will enable us to help accelerate our clients' effort to unlock the drug discovery bounty from their understanding of human genomics, and effectively speed these discoveries to the global marketplace."
