CTC Begins Offering Sinequa Products that Enable Comprehensive Batch Search

In recent years, a digital transformation is taking place in the field of life sciences, with companies seeking to achieve higher speed and greater efficiency in the development of new drugs through initiatives such as open innovation collaborations (between industry, government and academia), and analyses of massive volumes of data. As documents and various other types of data continue to be generated on a daily basis, the question of how efficiently data can be searched to extract the necessary information in the course of research, development, manufacture, sales and other work conducted at pharmaceutical companies is becoming an increasingly important factor in shortening drug development times.

Sinequa ES is a Cognitive Search & Analytics platform that works in conjunction with companies' internal and external systems and cloud-based systems storing unstructured data, to enable batch searching of multiple data sources. The solution performs comprehensive searches of data assets including file servers, databases, portals, e-mail, websites and social media. It then analyzes, classifies and displays the results for users. Sinequa ES is equipped with NLP and Machine Learning capabilities, enabling it to produce elaborate search results by extracting key themes from documents and categorizing results based on those themes. In addition to an easy-to-use user interface and sophisticated visualization of search results, the software can also be integrated with other systems through the use of external APIs.

As Sinequa's first partner in Japan, CTC will provide deployment-related consulting and training, maintenance support and other services, including integration with customers' existing systems. By utilizing its many years of experience and expertise supporting IT-related aspects of customers' drug development efforts, CTC will continue contributing to the digital transformations of customers in the life sciences field, while at the same time promoting the utilization of Sinequa ES and the convenience it offers in various other industries, including the finance, IT and telecommunications industries.
