Stop Selling “empty shell” CMS, EDC and RIM Software

We help Content Management System (“CMS”), Electronic Data Capture (“EDC”), and Regulatory Information Management (“RIM”) software companies Develop, Debug, Demo and Deploy better and faster by integrating life sciences-related Open Data into their systems.

The Problem: most software companies sell an “empty shell” where their customers spend weeks or months loading customer- and industry-specific data before the software becomes actually useful to the customer.

Our Solution: we help your software deliver an instant ROI to your customers by pre-loading our integrated Open Data.

The diagram shows our integration of all the Open Data available for a medical device cleared in the US. We call this our “Medical Device Tracker.”

We often use this analogy: your neighbor wants to build a green dog house in her backyard.

Your neighbor goes to a hardware store (e.g. Home Depot / Leroy Merlin / Obi).
She asks: “Hey, how can I build a green dog house in my backyard this weekend?”

The store clerk tells her about all the tools the store carries: “Hammers in aisle 03, nails in aisle 05, wood in aisle 27, and green paint in aisle 30.”

But your neighbor wants a green dog house (the desired result), not just a bunch of tools.

Sometimes software companies focus too much on the tools they sell, when all their clients really want to know is how quickly can clients build their green dog houses (i.e. the desired business outcome).

Look at IKEA. You can either buy the packaged pieces of furniture and assemble it yourself. Or you can pay extra to have somebody else assemble IKEA’s pieces into what you really wanted all along: a piece of assembled furniture placed in the proper location in your house.

And here’s where DataSDR can add significant value to your software: we’ll enable you to offer your clients many pre-built “dog houses” to choose from as starting points. Then your clients will be able to quickly change colors, apply different finishes, and scale up / down the sample dog house.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do you help clients to sell the Open Data?

Yes. We offer a Sales Accelerator program where we assist our clients from acquiring Leads to loading Open Data for faster deployments.

Do you help clients to create custom demos?

Yes. Our partnership model includes working closely with our clients’ sales staff to develop and deliver prospect-specific demos. An additional benefit is that the customized demo then becomes the baseline for a much faster customer deployment. Thus shrinking the time-to-ROI for our clients’ software.

Do you have experience with automated UAT?

Yes. We have developed our own metadata-driven tools to automate User Acceptance Testing (“UAT”). We can quickly build fully automated UAT processes to increase the quality and robustness of our clients’ software.

Many government agencies offer APIs.

Of course. Our value add is that our Open Data Repository integrates data across multiple agencies, and bundles together different individual data sources from a single agency. We curate and assemble the raw data into a coherent, integrated Data Model. See above diagram.

Do you provide Open Data for other industries?

Yes. We have decades of experience handling Open Data from US government agencies beyond life sciences. From the FAA (“Federal Aviation Administration”) to the FCC (“Federal Communications Commission”) to the SEC (“Securities and Exchange Commission”). We also have experience with EU-based agencies, mostly the EMA (“European Medicines Agency”).

What is your pricing model?

We offer several pricing models to best fit our clients’ needs. The pricing options are: a.) a flat fee per year; b.) revenue share per client’s deployment using our Open Data; or c.) pay-per-use by our clients’ own customers.

Licensing your data vs. building in-house?

We have decades of experience handling Open Data sources. And in the specific case of life sciences we have extensive personal experience supporting both pharma and medical device companies.

How quickly can we integrate your Open Data?

Our API is very easy to integrate with other software platforms. Your software will be able to query and display our Open Data in less than 03 weeks.
