CDS - Custom Data Shop

The Problem - and Potential - of Data

Know What Counts, Where to Find It, and What to Do with It

Custom Data Shop stands for better data, better applied, to create better business outcomes.

The pharmaceutical business depends on generating new and applicable insights. And data is the raw material on which those insights are based.

But, like many raw materials, data in an unrefined state is flawed and formless. Data alone is not an insight. To be of use, it must be examined, analyzed, interpreted and structured to produce understanding.

In addition to knowing how to make data more valuable to clients, we know where to find it and how to harmonize across sources. We combine our core Medicare offering with industry-best reference data to create insights that complete the patient-HCP-office-pharmacy view of life sciences marketing. By helping you capitalize on more forms of data from more sources, we help drive your commercial outcomes more effectively and economically.

Put Deep Industry Experience
to Work for You

A Team That’s Redefining What’s Possible with Data

With Custom Data Shop, you’ll work directly with an expert group of data architects, analysts, technology specialists, and pharmacoepidemiologists. We are an agile team that combines decades of pharmaceutical data and solution experience to craft an approach that’s tailored to you.

You’ll find that we’re always ready to push further, to find out and accomplish more. In fact, our endless curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit have earned us industry recognition. We’re proud to be winners of multiple software development challenges, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and ProPublica’s Finding The Right Provider Challenge.

We are the principle designers and developers of several of IMS Health’s (now IQVIA) most innovative products. Our clinical science core trained at the top public health institutions, has authored numerous publications and served on top 100 peer-reviewed journal editorial boards and medical specialty society science boards.

What’s most important, of course, is how we put all of this original thinking to work for you. We don’t see client engagements simply as projects. We view them as possibilities for harnessing the power of data, to deepen our shared understandings and create opportunities for growth.
