The recent Spotfire on-demand webcast, “Data Science 2.0: Guided and In-line Analytics with Spotfire”, shares how Spotfire and data science are impacting global business across every market and industry. Case studies are offered in finance, energy, pharmaceuticals, telecommunication networks, consumer goods and retail.

Perhaps no sector of the economy could benefit more from big data and the use of predictive analytics to churn through vast expanses of information than the pharmaceutical industry. For example, if you work in the pharmaceuticals industry this may mean using analytics in clinical trials to identify safety issues more quickly and bring effective therapies to market faster.

Data Analysis to Boost Drug Development for Pharma shares a sample clip from the pharmaceuticals segment of the webcast. Here at InCrowd we’re not affiliated with the Spotfire Team but we did find their use of data to be ‘spot’ on and for that reason did want to share with others in the pharma space.
