"As the market continues its shift toward more specialty product lines, traditional analytic approaches do not provide the clarity of insights that our clients demand," states Matt Reichert, CEO and President of Health Market Science. "Prism provides ten distinct service offerings delivered through our state of the art simulation platform. This gives our clients an effective way in which to simulate a therapeutic area and test assumptions, to ultimately obtain the answers to their business questions across corporate, brand, and sales functions."

Prism delivers unprecedented business clarity unattainable through conventional analysis, delivered by a state-of-the-art simulation platform. Traditional analytic approaches rely heavily on past behavior and consequently do not fully account for the complex dynamics of a market. They are also typically reliant on a full set of secondary data that doesn't exist in all markets. Prism is able to deliver business answers at the international, national and practitioner levels through its ten refracted offerings: Strategic Market Assessment, Portfolio Promotion Optimization, New Product Strategy & Management, In-Line Brand Management, Promotion Mix Optimization, Managed Markets Targeting & Contracting, Patient Flow, Patient-Based Forecasting, Sales Force Strategy, and Geocentric Promotion Allocation.

The Director of Market Research of a top 10 pharmaceutical company and current Prism customer recently stated that, "Prism is the most effective way to investigate and understand the complex cause-and-effect relationships that occur within a specific therapeutic market. It allows you to stop guessing at analogues by using logic to actually calculate the answers."
