For Pharma Competitive Intelligence Teams

Ferma automates pharma competitive intelligence workflows - pipeline tracking, competitor monitoring, readout analysis, and conference coverage, so your CI team owns the analysis, not the assembly.

Your Pharma CI Team is the Integration Layer. That's the Problem.

You have Cortellis for trial data. AlphaSense for earnings call transcripts. A separate subscription for publications. A manual process for conference readouts. Someone on your pharma CI team spends 40% of the week on data reconciliation that shouldn't be anyone's job.

 

The pharma competitive intelligence function doesn't have a data problem. It has a synthesis problem. The data exists. The time to turn it into finished deliverables your commercial and BD teams can act on - doesn't. That's the gap a purpose-built competitive intelligence platform for pharma should close automatically."

The thing that changed for my team wasn't just speed. It was that we stopped being the people who build the landscape and started being the people who interpret it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Ferma different from Cortellis for CI teams?

Cortellis is a database subscription - CI analysts query, export, reconcile, and synthesize everything themselves. Data also refreshes at approximately 60% annually, meaning a meaningful portion is stale at any given time. Ferma's pharma competitive intelligence platform takes the output as the starting point: Agentic Workflows produce finished landscape briefs, readout analyses, and pipeline trackers directly - monitoring continuously, not on a quarterly refresh cycle.

Can Ferma replace AlphaSense for pharma CI?

Ferma and AlphaSense overlap on some use cases but differ in depth. AlphaSense was built for financial services and carries uneven life sciences coverage, particularly in preclinical intelligence, China pipeline, and conference data. Ferma is built specifically for pharma CI workflows, with 250+ scientific conferences indexed, native-language China coverage, and Agentic Workflows shaped by practitioners who have run CI functions at top pharma companies.

Does Ferma include conference coverage as part of a CI subscription?

Yes. Conference coverage is a native Agentic Workflow within Ferma, not a separate product or add-on. Pharma CI teams access pre-congress prioritization, live session coverage, and AI-generated summaries within 4 hours through the same platform they use for pipeline monitoring and landscape reporting.

What CI deliverables can Ferma generate for pharma teams?

Ferma's pharma CI Agentic Workflows produce finished, shareable deliverables - competitive landscape briefs, pipeline monitoring alerts with competitive context, cross-trial readout analyses, KOL mapping reports, promotional message tracking summaries, and conference coverage AI summaries within 4 hours. All outputs export to PowerPoint, Excel, or PDF, formatted for your stakeholders.
