Case Study: SurroMed achieves faster, more reliable biomarker discovery with TIBCO Software (Spotfire DecisionSite & S-PLUS Server)

Surromed Chooses S-PLUS® Server and Spotfire® DecisionSite for Biomarker Discovery

SurroMed is a biomarker‑enabled drug discovery and development company that integrates diverse bioanalytical and clinical data (mass spectrometry, proteomics, metabolomics, cytometry, gene expression, SNPs) in an Oracle data warehouse to identify biomarkers for therapeutics and diagnostics. The company needed a scalable analysis workflow to combine these data sources and enable advanced statistical analysis, reporting and interactive visualization to support biomarker discovery and better decision‑making.

SurroMed built SurroStat, an integrated application that pairs Insightful’s S-PLUS Server for rigorous, validated statistical analysis and reporting with Spotfire DecisionSite for interactive visualization, guided workflows and easy-to-use interfaces; a J2EE backbone and ETL-fed data warehouse manage processing and job orchestration. The result is a robust, extensible biomarker‑discovery workflow that performs sophisticated analyses more efficiently, turns raw data into actionable information, empowers users with modest technical skills, and improves enterprise‑wide decision quality for drug development and diagnostics.
