Purdue Pharma L.P. (Connecticut) Deploys Inxight SmartDiscovery To Provide Researchers With A Direct Path To Relevant Medical And Scientific Data

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Life science companies create, analyze, and share huge quantities of information throughout the product development life cycle. The ability to find and focus on the most relevant data is essential to accelerating new product time-to-market and increasing the number of breakthrough developments. As life sciences organizations take action to gain true value from their wealth of information, the Library & Information Services department of Purdue Pharma has chosen Inxight SmartDiscovery to provide its researchers with a direct path to relevant data contained within thousands of text documents.

Purdue Pharma is committed to supplying its scientists and researchers with the vital information that they need to discover and develop new, innovative pharmaceutical products. The company's Library and Information Services team chose Inxight SmartDiscovery for its search, automatic document categorization, and taxonomy capabilities, providing immediate access to relevant data from both internal and external sources. SmartDiscovery will replace the labor-intensive process of manually classifying unstructured data in text documents, saving the company significant time and money while providing enhanced information access.

"The Purdue Library has developed an extensive collection of medical, pharmaceutical, and scientific information for its end-users," said Kathryn Walsh, Senior Director, Library & Information Services, from Purdue. "We looked at a number of solutions to help our employees mine these documents in a consistent and accurate manner. We chose Inxight SmartDiscovery because it will enable us to identify, classify, and provide relevant information to our colleagues. As a result of implementing SmartDiscovery, we will have a state-of-the-art information retrieval system that will provide considerable cost savings to the company," she added.

Inxight SmartDiscovery is the most complete, powerful, and integrated information discovery solution available.
