Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management Using Semantic Web Technology: Case Study
2011-10-01
American Laboratory

The growing product portfolio of Biogen Idec (Weston, MA) was resulting in rapid domestic and international expansion, leading to an increasingly complex pharmaceutical supply chain. Harmonized data reporting and real-time information were needed in order to move toward a risk-based model for contractor assessments and batch release. To meet this challenge, the company chose Anzo software from Cambridge Semantics (Boston, MA), which allows business users to search for, virtualize, analyze, act on, and make decisions with any internal or external, structured, or unstructured data. Based on the revolutionary flexibility of semantic web technologies, the software provides operational business process integration for just about any formal or informal business activity.

InfoBoom
While business intelligence is traditionally more focused on analyzing data after the fact, operational intelligence makes use of multiple approaches to conduct real-time event detection and data correlation in a way that supports complex business analysis. Cambridge Semantics' solution is particularly appealing because it supports on-the-fly data analysis, all while bringing relational data into a semantic space.

Cambridge Semantics: Making Data Analysis Easier
2010-12-16
BostInno
Currently, the main problem businesses face when analyzing data is inefficiency. Custom reports have to go through IT to be constructed (which is inefficient and potentially a hassle if your IT is anything like ours) and, by the time it is finished, the report may no longer be sufficient as the data set may have changed in scope.
