Two top-ten Pharma companies have extended and expanded their current agreements with Skila, the industry's leader in knowledge agility and stakeholder collaboration management.

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ, May 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Two top-ten Pharma companies have extended and expanded their current agreements with Skila, the industry's leader in knowledge agility and stakeholder collaboration management. The extensions of Skila's iAdvocate , the opinion leader management solution, and iAlliance , the alliance management solution, represent a strong expression of satisfaction among these clients. Both of these companies recognize that the trusted technology, advisory and hands-on support supplied by Skila solutions are essential to increase functionality, address challenges and enable communications to reach goals.

Having found success during a first year pilot of Skila's iAlliance solution, the first client requested their contract run an additional 3 years. This will enable Skila to continue providing this top global vaccine supplier with a single touch point for managing commitments, communications and the sharing of knowledge for each of their 210 key alliances. This solution contract was augmented to support the global team with a structured alliance portfolio solution throughout their entire alliance platform, consisting of product, inventory, supply chain, manufacturing, R&D and operations alliance teams.

The second customer's renewal and expansion of the iAdvocate solution was based on the initial ability to efficiently and effectively provide knowledge in a short amount of time. Overall, the critical information within the platform which ensured internal transparency, team alignment and the ability to identify their key customers in real time based on internal and external knowledge lead to the contract extension. Having made a strong impact, iAdvocate will continue to identify, validate and segment key influencers and opinion leaders, build strong relationships with thought leaders, and manage relationship goals and outcomes for this Skila client.

"These two key companies in the life science industry identify Skila's solutions as crucial components to managing and improving their relationships and working as one team," stated Cort Grey, Skila's VP of Global Sales. "This is proof that our customers are happy with what we do, and we are happy to provide them with the technology, services and advisory to help them reach their goals."
