Invicro LLC Joins Accenture’s INTIENT™ Network to Help Advance Innovation in Drug Discovery and Scientific Research
Today, Invicro LLC, a Konica Minolta Company, has joined Accenture’s open partner ecosystem—the INTIENT™ Network—which is designed to help solution providers, software vendors and life sciences companies’ team more effectively to accelerate drug discovery and improve patient outcomes. Invicro is a global provider of imaging biomarkers, core lab services, advanced analytics and software solutions for drug discovery and development.
The INTIENT Network is an integral part of INTIENT Research, Accenture’s cloud-based informatics suite that is focused on improving productivity, efficiency and innovation in the drug discovery process. Accenture is currently working with a select number of independent software vendors and organizations, including Invicro, to integrate their technology and content into the INTIENT platform.
Through the INTIENT Network, research scientists can access Invicro’s industry-leading imaging software platforms, iPACS® and VivoQuant®, that help transform the way translational medicine research is conducted. Invicro joining the network contributes to a robust ecosystem—one that offers the most advanced, cloud-based informatics solutions to help accelerate precision medicine studies across all therapeutic areas.
“By providing access to Invicro’s novel software solutions, researchers will easily gain insights from complex biological data at each drug discovery and development phase,” stated Mr. Chris Fuller, Vice President of Software for Invicro. “The advanced and collaborative capabilities offered by Invicro and Accenture will improve operational efficiencies and help streamline drug discovery efforts by using a data-driven approach.”
Invicro’s capabilities will be available to life sciences companies within a common informatics framework that handles core infrastructure requirements such as data ingestion and cleansing, security and IP management, request management workflow, enterprise search, data governance, and collaboration environments.
“Imaging data is enabling some incredible opportunities in early drug discovery, yet there remain challenges around the effective image management, interpretation, and sharing,” said Joe Donahue, managing director, Accenture Life Sciences. “I look forward to working closely with Invicro to leverage their capabilities to help address these challenges which will, ultimately, lead to better outcomes for patients.”
