Quintiles-IMS-Health-merger-completed
In October, Quintiles completed its merger with IMS Health, forming one of the world’s largest healthcare information portfolios with QuintilesIMS.
The merger was initially announced in May 2016 and new senior management rolls were announced in late August. Following the merger, analysts stressed data integration would be key to the merger’s success.
The month after QuintilesIMS officially launched, the newly formed entity purchased the clinical trials division of TKL Research. The acquisition added expertise in dermatology clinical development.
