Overview
Our broad array of consulting offerings leverage The Relay Innovation Engine (RIE) to deliver tailored insights to clients. The consulting offerings focus on questions that are beyond the scope of Relay’s software products, and often involve customized analyses or the integration of non-standard data sources.
The underlying philosophy of our consulting practice is that novel and powerful business strategies can be uncovered by analyzing recent historic information and extrapolating future trends. We believe that too many business decisions are influenced by both the perspectives of a limited number of key opinion leaders and the biases of passing fads and conventional wisdom. Our services and approach use a data-driven methodology to identify the trends and market dynamics that define the current business environment.
In order to deliver on this philosophy, our consulting practice relies on our proprietary Relay Innovation Engine (RIE). The RIE integrates data from numerous publicly available and private data sources, then overlays them with meaningful disease, therapeutic, biological and business ontologies to uncover patterns in the ingested data streams.
Our consulting practice provides services to all segments of the biopharma industry, from large pharmaceutical companies to University licensing and technology transfer offices.
The services we offer span the tactical to the highly strategic, and can cover solutions both internal and external facing.
Relay Consulting is used for custom projects including:
- Researcher and KOL Identification
- Portfolio Optimization
- Pre-Clinical Development Strategy
- Financial Modeling and Net Present Value
