IDBS has launched its 'innovation through partnership' programme.
The scheme is an extension of IDBS' existing partnering programme, designed for technology organisations to work together and maximise the value of their research and data management systems.
It will ensure that the best applications for managing, sharing and securing data are developed, with the benefit of combining technical expertise.
Currently working alongside principle suppliers of infrastructure and technology, IDBS intends to build on existing technology partners including Microsoft, Oracle and Perkin Elmer.
In working collaboratively with existing research and technology organisations, and building relationships with other companies, IDBS' partnerships will offer customers flexible choices to meet individual data management needs.
IDBS will also specifically extend its consultative partnerships as a way of ensuring support for customers around the globe.
Building on existing relationships with A-tune Software, Germany, CTC-LS, Japan, and Kooprime, Singapore, IDBS will expand its consultative network, and work with regional leaders in scientific research informatics to complement its professional services organisation.
