Why Sinequa
Over the years, Sinequa has delivered the Big Data Search & Analytics Platform to speed vital information discovery of its clinical trial file share for various clients. Using the Sinequa Platform, a multinational biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, UCB is able to more effectively find data sets that will help expedite responding to questions arising in the lifecycle of drug development, in order to serve the patients’ demand for new drug therapies.

Here is what Oliver Thoennessen, Senior Manager Global IT Drug Development, UCB had to say about the Sinequa experience. “SAS data sets comprise as much as 70% of our clinical development file content. No other company we evaluated couldhandle SAS data sets like Sinequa,” said Todd Culverwell, Director, Trial Master File and Clinical Repositories, UCB. “We can simply search for a key phrase and be directed right away to a row in a SAS data set. We can also use any number of 900 SAS clinical dataset variables and ask for results within a value range for each of these variables. In some cases what once took weeks, can be easily be produced within a day or two.” He further added that, “Sinequa is simply great technology! We immediately saw its benefit watching it perform something we didn’t know was possible. It makes an exponential difference for our organization. We were also impressed with the number of smart connectors available out-of-the-box and Sinequa’s unique ability to develop new ones”.

On the other hand, Nick Brown, innovation & technology architect of AstraZeneca, who sought Sinequa’s assistance in building a powerful next-generation search platform that is simple and intuitive enough for its R&D scientists to use easily and be alerted to new information anywhere, anytime said that, “After considering the top 20 enterprise search platforms, Sinequa provided the best solution to quickly search through all of our data to see who is working on which projects organization-wide, gathering information that will power the next generation of our business intelligence”.
