Case Study: a leading multinational pharmaceutical company improves drug pipeline monitoring with InfoDesk PipelinePlus

How consolidating multiple pipeline databases enabled R&D and CI teams at a multinational pharmaceutical company to stay ahead of their competition.

A leading multinational pharmaceutical company faced challenges in tracking global drug development due to its use of multiple pipeline databases. Their R&D and Competitive Intelligence teams struggled with differing index terms across sources, requiring separate search strategies and manual data consolidation, which led to missed information and inefficiency. The company engaged InfoDesk for a solution.

InfoDesk implemented its PipelinePlus service, which used federated searching and unified taxonomies to resolve indexing differences across up to five databases. This created integrated records for each drug, ensuring no data was missed. The solution saved significant time, with query output increasing by 25-45%, leading to higher quality landscape reports and confidence in meeting deadlines.
