Announcement at 2019 Bio-IT World Conference & Expo syncs with
PerkinElmer’s strategy to get labs from big data overload to research
insights faster and easier

WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PerkinElmer,
Inc., a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world,
today announced that it has joined Accenture’s open partner ecosystem,
designed to help solution providers, software vendors and life sciences
companies team more effectively to accelerate drug discovery and improve
patient outcomes.

The ecosystem is an integral part of Accenture’s cloud-based
informatics research platform 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 PerkinElmer, to integrate their technology
and content into Accenture’s research platform.

Joining the ecosystem is in sync with PerkinElmer’s strategy to deliver
advanced informatics solutions that empower researchers to more quickly
and easily spotlight key findings amidst the ever-growing volume, types
and complexity of scientific big data.

PerkinElmer is making its informatics solutions compatible with
Accenture’s integrated ecosystem starting with the following: key
functionality of electronic
laboratory notebooks, which allow for effective organization and
sharing of experimental data; TIBCO^®Spotfire^®software for data visualization in
research and clinical analytics; and ChemDraw^®software, a leading application for chemistry-based analytics
and workflows. PerkinElmer
Signals™ solutions, which provide advanced analytics for R&D such as
lead discovery and translational medicine, are also planned to be
available via the Accenture ecosystem in the future.

“Today’s pharmaceutical companies are dealing with tremendous silos of
data that are hard to access, expensive to maintain and can create
missed opportunities to connect insights that propel new patient
therapies,” said David Wang, general manager of Informatics at
PerkinElmer. “Forward-looking life science organizations are
reimagining, streamlining and accelerating the power of their research
organizations by digitizing and integrating their big data. This is the
promise of informatics in the lab, and we are pleased to be the largest
instrument and informatics solution provider to join the Accenture
ecosystem to date.”

“As PerkinElmer is a leading provider of lab instrument and informatics
solutions, we’re pleased to welcome the company to Accenture’s open
partner ecosystem and to be working closely with them to integrate their
capabilities into our cloud-based research platform,” said Joe Donahue,
a managing director in Accenture’s Life Sciences practice. “Our clients
will benefit from access to PerkinElmer’s solutions and we look forward
to collaborating with them to help our mutual clients gain insights from
data to drive scientific discovery—ultimately improving patient
outcomes.”
