Cutting time to market in life sciences

Relay Technology Management has chosen a solution from Attivio to power a new platform aimed at helping the life sciences industry capture, access and track scientific, clinical and business information.

Relay Innovation Engine is said to remove inefficiencies and complexity for early-stage drug development stakeholders. It captures a comprehensive body of scientific literature, including more than 20 million scientific publications. Relay, however, needed technology to aggregate, analyze and present the structured and unstructured data from various sources in a way that is data type agnostic, scalable and user friendly. Relay chose Attivio’s Active Intelligence Engine (AIE) to help produce its SaaS solution.

Brigham Hyde, Ph.D., managing director at Relay Technology Management, says, “The flexibility of Attivio’s platform and its team’s deep subject matter expertise helped us shorten our time to market by several orders of magnitude, an achievement we simply did not think was possible given the enormity of the technical challenge. Because of this and through the integration of AIE with Relay’s proprietary system architecture, ontologies and quantification platform, the Relay Innovation Engine streamlines the time and complexity involved in sifting through large data sets and aggregating complex sources so that the life sciences community can perform value-added analysis on their business development decisions.”
