August 14-16, 2002 – New York City Developed by: MarcusEvans Addressing the IT challenges of the life-sciences industry, the Executive IT Life Science Forum has been created to allow senior executives the opportunity to discuss, strategize and offer solutions to the ever-changing IT landscape in the pharmaceutical and biotech markets. While research and development is pushing the limits of science, limitations of information technology are being surpassed. Issues of supercomputing, data scalability and storage, and data management continue to provide headaches for IT managers and researchers alike. A rapidly evolving industry brings with it frequent changes in business models, placing importance on a global supply chain strategy that must be flexible and place value on partners in the face of mergers and acquisitions. Web services will continue to prove vital to partner relations, as well as enhanced R&D and knowledge management…where data reigns. This executive-only event is designed to open doors to strategies that will enhance network stability, IT flexibility and R&D efficiency. We look forward to your involvement.
