Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca
has signed a $95m (£47m) deal with Indian outsourcing firm Cognizant to provide
electronic support to its research and development (R&D) operations.
The five-year contract will require
Cognizant to provide a range of
services, data management planning, medical coding, and the training of clinical
investigators.
The agreement is part of AstraZeneca's wider plans to improve the
effectiveness of its R&D projects, according to Anders Ekblom, vice
president of clinical development.
“Delivering efficiencies through reshaping our business is one of our key
strategic priorities,” said Ekblom.
The new deal will build on previous contracts between the two companies,
signed in 2004. Cognizant already supports AstaZeneca's business operations in
the US, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
