Instem Leads Chinese PreClinical Market with Provantis Software

Instem Solutions Deployed at More Sites than any Competing Vendor

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - January 17, 2013 - - Instem, a leading provider of IT solutions to the global early development healthcare market, is pleased to announce its continued success in the growing preclinical market in China, with Instem solutions deployed at more sites within the region than any competing product.

Instem was the first western toxicology/pathology software supplier to enter the Chinese market, deploying its initial China-based system in one of the largest and most advanced vivariums during 2006.  As the Chinese preclinical market continues to grow, Instem is leading the market, winning the overwhelming majority of contracts awarded in the region.  

Neil Donaldson, VP European & Asian Operations, Instem said "Instem understands the important role that China plays in the global  preclinical R&D market and we are committed to supporting organizations in the region. Instem and our world-leading Provantis preclinical toxicology/pathology solution have become the gold standard in China. It is extremely pleasing to see that international organizations, government sponsored institutions and domestic Chinese laboratories  are all recognizing the value in Provantis and the benefits it can bring to their laboratory processes."

Mr. Donaldson continued "We recently hosted our second Annual China user conference in Beijing and it was fantastic to see so many of our clients in attendance. The conference gave our clients in the region the opportunity to meet with their industry peers and key members of the Instem team to exchange information and learning experiences, share best practice and help shape Instem's solution roadmap."

Acknowledging analyst projections that the People's Republic of China (PRC) is on pace to becoming the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world, Instem has an established full-service office in Shanghai and has localized the Provantis product suite into Mandarin Chinese.  Instem supports organizations serving the PRC through traditional on-site systems as well as through their SaaS delivery model from a secure, professionally managed data center based in Shanghai. The SaaS delivery model offers simpler, more cost effective ways to provide software functionality, maintenance, and support over the internet, providing clients with complete in-application access to their data without the need for additional hardware or dedicated resources
