Informa’s Pharma and Healthcare business consists of leading products – such as The Pink Sheet, Scrip Intelligence
Citeline, Datamonitor Healthcare, Biomedtracker, and Medtrack, -- that came through acquisitions and have been run independently. We have recently integrated them under one management team and P&L, and are making major new investments in them. Informa BI is investing $50+MM in its businesses over three years, and the Pharma and Healthcare business is getting a significant portion of that investment.
A key part of our transformation is in making sure that the products that we build and offer meet the market needs. No competitor has the breadth of content, expertise and respected brands we have in our pharma market segments, and we will leverage our business analysis function to align our current products and to develop new solutions in areas where we are well positioned to solve pervasive unmet market needs.
We need experienced IT/Operations analysts to work on the Pharma Insight publications, including Scrip Intelligence,
The Pink Sheet, The Gray Sheet, IN VIVO and others, as we prioritize significant investments we are making in these products.
