Description: IMS Health, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware, in 1998, and is a global provider of market intelligence to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

The company's market intelligence products and services are grouped into three broad areas: sales force effectiveness, portfolio optimization, and launch, brand management and other. Sales force effectiveness through IMS involves sales territory reporting services, prescription tracking reporting services, sales and account management and other consulting. In portfolio optimization, IMS offer customers pharmaceutical audits, medical audits, hospital audits, and prescription audits. Also, through its launch, brand management and other group of services, IMS provides audits of promotional efforts, consulting on product promotion management, pricing and market access consulting, and oncology analyzer and consulting.
