In 2011 we consolidated many exciting features of ta-Scan business intelligence system. The public activation of the EMA, EudraCT trial registry and multiple corporate websites disclosing data has enriched outreach, widened data depth and improved accuracy. But we are not stopping here.
Our open market dialogue has always been the driving force behind our development policies and client feedback has helped shape many improvements that fit with our clients’ evolving business processes.
Major system changes
Significant changes in our robotic foundation will occur towards the end of the 2011. While we are comfortable that our concept provides a sustainable value proposition to our clients, we strive to continually improve the depth and quality of the data.
ta-Scan has always provided a timely snap shot of the worldwide Pharma development space. However, data refreshes always overwrote the previous version. As of October 2011 we will launch DeltaCheck 1.0. This release will time stamp all changes in captured web information. DeltaCheck 1.0 will offer many new advanced algorithms and visualizations. This technology enhancement will benefit our users:
• Monthly update cycle
• Evolution monitoring (a new colour rendering system indicating date and data timeline)
• Enhanced meta-analysis, including trends in all our traditional data classes
• Custom GUI and email alerts
Site selection automation (The Wizards)
The terabytes of public data on the internet today rarely render one clear and faithful picture. However, through our intelligent meta-analysis techniques we expose trends, statistics and enable a user to test multiple planning scenarios based on evidence.
Indexing the indices
The challenge of many web resources is the ability to find what you are looking for. The better the index, the better the search result. ta-Scan has advanced indexing algorithms to pin point references in complex textual information. Whether looking for key words in trial inclusion criteria or novel biomarker, ta-Scan semantically links multiple websites to create a cluster of indices enabling more precise user search criteria.
