Case Study: Fournier Pharma cuts data retrieval from one week to five minutes and accelerates lead characterization with TIBCO Software's Spotfire DecisionSite

Fournier Pharma Puts Spotfire at the Core of its Microarray Gene Expression Analysis Platform

Fournier Pharma, a Europe-based multinational focused on metabolic diseases and cardiovascular risk, was overwhelmed by growing microarray and gene-annotation data across multiple databases. The lack of a single, unifying analysis interface created a bottleneck that slowed QC and decision-making in its drug-discovery workflow.

By centralizing analysis on Spotfire DecisionSite—integrating TelaGene, TargetGene, Rosetta Luminator and pathway tools via templates and web links—Fournier gained scalable, interactive visualizations and tight data joins. The change cut common data‑retrieval tasks from about a week to minutes, improved analysis quality and complexity, and accelerated and de‑risked lead‑compound characterization.
