ICCS, Inc. and IBM Corporation Announce the Life Sciences & Healthcare Practice Technology Leadership Forum Series

VICCS, Inc. Life Sciences Division announces its Life Sciences Technology Practice focused on helping companies operating in the Life Sciences and Healthcare markets to increase ROI by reducing capital and operating costs, reducing inventory levels, improving order lead times and combining financial, manufacturing, distribution, sales, marketing and customer information into integrated systems that provide maximum return on investment.

According to Mr. Robert Weiner, Director of Sales & Marketing for VICCS, Inc., "Life Sciences companies face one of the greatest challenges they have faced in recent years. How to survive and grow in this increasing complex economy, maximize their limited resources and achieve maximum return from their technology investments. VICCS new Life Sciences Division will help them to achieve these objectives by offering an integrated set of products and services to achieve maximum return on their technology investments".

VICCS offers a combination of Enterprise Resource Planning Software for Life Sciences integrated with other technologies like Content Management, Document Imaging, and Customer Relationship Management systems to provide integrated solutions for Life Sciences companies that cover the entire spectrum of manufacturing, distribution, sales, marketing and customer management. In addition to software, VICCS will provide professional consulting services to deploy this advanced technology.

To facilitate and formally announce its Life Sciences Division, VICCS, along with IBM and SAP® Corporation will hold the first of a series of Technology Forums to educate and guide Life Sciences companies on how to take advantage of these cost saving technologies. To provide expert up to date industry trends and best practices, Mr. Eric Larson, an Associate Partner with IBM's Life Science consulting practice responsible for delivering global Supply Chain Strategy and Performance Improvement projects, will speak about trends in the life science Industry. Mr. George Marble the IBM General Business sector's SAP Life Sciences Industry Solution Manager, will speak about achieving growth, efficiency & ROI in the Life Sciences industry.

According to Mr. Kamran Soheili, VICCS Senior Vice President of technical Services, "life sciences companies need to prepare themselves organizationally and technically for the health information revolution through the implementation of interoperable systems that work together to provide combined benefits. Combing Life Sciences ERP with Content Management is needed because 75% of life sciences firms say current documentation practices are inefficient, don't meet their needs and don't work in conjunction with their financial management systems.

The Technology Leadership Forum will provide information and strategies to Life Sciences and Healthcare Companies to:

• Increase ROI by reducing capital and operating costs, reduce inventory levels, and improve order lead times by integrating financial information with sales, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and customer data;
• Combine Life Sciences ERP with Content and Document Systems technology to globally optimize compliance and adherence to regulatory mandates;
• Provide fast access to company financial information, customer data and other key company metrics to increase ROI, provide enhanced customer service and improve company margins;
• Quick solutions to achieve fast deployment, quick return on investment and to maximize technology investments.
