Operating at Cloud Speed, ICON Advances Data-Driven Clinical Trials Through a NetApp Ecosystem
Industry
Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology
The Challenge
Before a new therapy can be licensed, most clinical trials take 10-15 years, and it is estimated to cost approximately $2 million USD to take a new drug to market. The scientists and engineers at ICON are committed to bringing new therapies to market faster and more cost effectively. The growing quantity of business applications that generate data must be able to provide insight and improved performance to add value quickly, efficiently, and reliably
- Accelerate clinical trials
- Introduce new revenue model for clinical data storage
