Answer Your Toughest Questions

The Teradata Life Sciences LDM gives you the power to answer some
of the toughest questions facing life sciences organizations today,
including:

building focused LDMs for a wide range of

industries. That means the Teradata Life

> How can you pinpoint and quantify success or failure chances earlier in
the clinical trial process?

Sciences LDM has been designed to allow

you to implement your analytic environment in an incremental manner, and then
expand the scope of coverage without
massive reorganizing of your data.
Plus, because we have such an extensive
background in LDM design, we can seamlessly integrate common functions, such as
call centers or web logs, into your modeling
project. Your installation support team can
determine if a specific function is available
within one of the other Teradata industry
LDMs, and whether or not you can migrate
that module into your installation.

> How do you identify which subject recruiting changes are most likely to
provide reduced costs and more accurate clinical trial results?
> Do your clinical trials require multiple protocol changes that could have
been discovered in the trial design phase?
> How can you proactively detect and prevent excursions throughout the
manufacturing process?
> Are there ways to better plan and forecast that result in more rightsized inventories?
> How can you optimize your marketing budget and sales resources to
deliver the right message via the right channel to the right health care
professional at the right time?
> Does the projected earned value of drug development justify continued
expenditure?
> Is there a known profile of products that are showing less than expected
efficacy or safety levels?
And perhaps the most pressing question of all: Can you even identify
where you should focus your efforts and resources to answer these
and other vital business questions?
