Pharmaceutical companies are facing increasing pressures from all fronts, rising customer expectations, patent expiration cliff, innovation challenges, complex regulatory environments. In an environment of constrained  resources and elevated premiums,  it is critical for companies to make the right R&D investments to bring innovations to patients quickly. These drive the need for effective knowledge discovery and management of the exponentially growing public information.  Recent advancements of semantic technology show the promise of effective managing and connecting  data points in an unprecedented manner. This talk will present an application of text mining and semantics technology in pharmaceutical external intelligence. We will explore the roles of  agile text mining, ontology management, semantic data integration in accelerating strategic decision making and R&D operational effectiveness.
