Life Sciences IT Support

We Are Life Sciences IT Specialists

There are hundreds of IT generalists out there. What is harder to find is a provider with detailed and specialist knowledge about the requirements — including important compliance criteria — related to your sector.

Intersys has that specialist knowledge, which means we can tailor an IT approach with your specific industry needs in mind. Here’s why you’ll want us as your IT partner:

• Twenty one current pharmaceutical, life sciences and healthcare market clients (two FTSE 100 organisations), for IT support, cyber security and software development. Fourteen of these are directly regulated pharma / life sciences clients (e.g. hold MAs — Marketing Authorisations). Previously, we’ve also worked with a third FTSE 100 pharmaceutical company and two other large life sciences companies (combined market cap of £470bn in 2022).
• Supply chain risk management partnerships with leading life sciences organisations. We worked with GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca and Cambridge University as part of the ReMediES project on supply chain risk management.
• Life sciences academic collaboration. We have written a life sciences white paper with Cambridge University’s Institute for Manufacturing on Understanding Risk in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains. 
• NHS partnership. Our contracts management software was used by NHS Primary Care Trusts.

Whether you need ad hoc help or a fully managed day-to-day IT package, we have a full range of services available to support your organisation.

From deploying infrastructure to running your helpdesk, we can take care of all your technical support needs. Our proactive approach ensures that your network and devices are working at peak performance so your organisation runs smoothly.

Managed Cyber Security

From simple, internal data breaches to sophisticated and targeted ransomware attacks, organisations today have to contend with an increasing range of IT and cyber security threats. Approximately one-third of UK businesses reported a security breach in 2019, and of those, almost one half experienced ongoing attacks. With a full suite of preventative security measures to keep you ahead of the game, we can create the necessary IT and cyber security safeguards to ensure your data stays safe. In the event of a security breach, our GDPR-aligned expert guidance will help you respond appropriately to an incident. Our specialists can help investigate, contain and rectify any damage.
