What our customers say

Pharma & life sciences: Reaxys case study: Dr. Jonny Wray, Head of Discovery Informatics at e-Therapeutics

"The hardest part in building our compound library was establishing the pipeline to extract, transform and load data from multiple sources, each with its own structure. Our biggest issue is cleaning up source data and this is no simple task. Things as simple as spelling mistakes can impair our pipeline." Dr. Jonny Wray, Head of Discovery Informatics at e-Therapeutics

Pharma & life sciences: How a mid-market biopharma company avoids the risks of being wrong

"Having access to the full-text articles from all relevant disciplines in one place is very valuable and very efficient and ensures you are well aware of what your competition is doing." Roger Parker, Pre-Clinical Research Leader
