The life sciences industry has rapidly matured in its adoption of IT and business process outsourcing services in recent years. Regulatory reforms, emergence of new technologies, and the challenges facing the life sciences industry have accelerated the adoption of outsourced services. In order to cater to this growing market segment, a number of service providers have developed focused capabilities.
