This IDC study presents findings from a survey conducted in the summer of 2002 of 20 providers of software tools and applications to
companies and organizations engaged in the life sciences. The participants consider themselves players in the expanding life sciences - IT
market, and their responses provide a clearer understanding of the convergence of the emerging bioscience market and information technology.
Among the questions this study answers:
- What is the profile of this cross-section of life sciences - IT software providers?
- How do these vendors sell their software, and to whom?
- What kinds of software do these companies provide, and how are installations implemented?
- What do these vendors see as market opportunities and hurdles?
"The biological imperative that drives the discovery of cures for human disease, and its concomitant technological requirements and
economic constraints have created opportunities for life sciences - IT providers that are global in scope." - Gisela D. Wilson,
IDC director, Product Life-Cycle Management Solutions
