Ergomed Enters Strategic Collaboration to Drive Pharmacovigilance Leadership
in Intelligent Automation

 

PrimeVigilance collaboration with Automation Anywhere and DataRobot to advance

robotic processes and machine learning

 

 

Guildford, UK - 18 May 2020: Ergomed plc (LSE: ERGO) ('Ergomed' or the
'Company'), a company focused on providing specialised services to the
pharmaceutical industry, is pleased to announce PrimeVigilance's strategic
collaboration with Automation Anywhere, a global leader in Robotic Process
Automation (RPA) and DataRobot, the leader in enterprise artificial
intelligence (AI), to accelerate the Company's Intelligent Automation
strategy.

 

PrimeVigilance, a division of Ergomed, is the leading global specialized
provider of full pharmacovigilance (PV) services, and currently employs over
750 people. By empowering its clients and colleagues with the application of
RPA and Machine Learning (ML), PrimeVigilance will enable clients to improve
quality and consistency within safety databases, as well as productivity.

 

A successful proof of concept has been completed, and PrimeVigilance will now
implement a cloud software solution to automate specific pharmacovigilance
processes. The productivity gains made possible by working with Automation
Anywhere and DataRobot, are expected to deliver organic growth more
efficiently, with the automation of manual, repetitive processes. Automation
Anywhere's cloud-based RPA on its digital workforce platform combined with
DataRobot's enterprise AI platform will bring new levels of speed and
intelligence to a crucial component of the business, freeing up valuable hours
for highly trained pharmacovigilance professionals to focus on value creation
and problem solving that only humans can address.

 

This strategic partnership will be part of Ergomed's wider strategy as it
transforms the relationship between its people and technology, enhancing the
Company's creativity, agility and skills for the benefit of its clients and
shareholders. It will enhance Ergomed's existing skills and expertise by
combining human insight and knowledge with the intelligent application of
technology to enhance the speed and precision of analysis and decision making.

 

Dr Miroslav Reljanović, Executive Chairman of Ergomed, said: "Adoption of the
latest available technologies, including automation and robotic technology
across our pharmacovigilance business, ensures we are able to continue to
offer cutting edge services to our customers. This collaboration provides the
foundation to rapidly identify and automate a wide range of business
processes, enabling clients to maximise quality and consistency within safety
databases as well as increasing productivity."

 

Prince Kohli, Chief Technology Officer at Automation Anywhere, commented:
"Intelligent Automation can help to unlock valuable human capacity to focus on
innovation-led projects, while reducing costs and shortening the time to
market. Ergomed understands this opportunity, and we're excited to be working
with them and DataRobot to unleash the potential of Intelligent Automation to
enable a better customer experience and faster time to value."

 

Automation Anywhere Enterprise A2019, was designed from the ground up as a
cloud-native and web-based RPA platform offering lower total cost of ownership
(TCO), increased performance and scalability. It combines advanced RPA,
artificial intelligence (AI) and embedded analytics, enabling enterprises to
digitize business operations, driving scalability, reusability and lowering
operating costs. The company's software bots, which are delivered via the
cloud, work side-by-side with human workers to automate repetitive, mundane
tasks, freeing up valuable human resources to focus on more meaningful work.

"Companies across all sectors and geographies have learned that they can
transform their business by embracing Intelligent Automation," said Dan
Wright, President and COO, DataRobot. "By implementing this technology,
companies can combine the best of human and machine intelligence, drive rapid
automation and enhanced operational efficiency, and experience exponential
returns on their investment. We're excited to have teamed up with Automation
Anywhere to help Ergomed push the boundaries of what's possible."

 

DataRobot is the leader in enterprise AI, delivering trusted AI technology and
return on investment (ROI) enablement services to global enterprises competing
in today's Intelligence Revolution. DataRobot's enterprise AI platform
democratizes data science with end-to-end automation for building, deploying,
