– Partnership will accelerate the adoption of enterprise forecasting software across life sciences organizations –

Toronto, October 31 2016 – Scarsin Corporation, a software development company specializing in providing enterprise-class forecasting platforms to global organizations, today announced a strategic partnership with ZS, a global leader in sales and marketing consulting, outsourcing, technology and software solutions, to jointly promote end-to-end enterprise forecasting solutions to life sciences organizations.

Life sciences organizations often struggle to upgrade their current Excel-based forecasting and decision-making processes to a more streamlined approach. Many are challenged by limitations in available technologies that can support collaborative and scalable enterprise forecasting. This new partnership will leverage Scarsin’s Integrated Insight Environment (i2e) and ZS’s 20-plus years of consulting experience addressing forecasting challenges in the life sciences industry to enable these organizations to evaluate critical business processes and build advanced solutions.

“Partnering with Scarsin gives us the ability to expand our portfolio of offerings to ensure that our clients in the life sciences industry can quickly and efficiently operationalize their forecasting efforts, demonstrating increased value to the business,” says Judith Kulich, a principal at ZS.

i2e was purpose-built over a decade of close collaboration with charter life sciences clients to increase efficiency for operational and strategic forecasting. Supporting forecasting processes along all product life cycle stages via one business-friendly platform (which leverages Excel) provides a much quicker and more cost-effective transition to achieving forecasting best practices.

Samrat Shebaga, a principal at ZS, says, “By combining ZS’s deep subject matter expertise in both forecasting and the life sciences industry with i2e’s platform strength, we will be able to provide high-impact forecasting solutions for clients globally and across functions.” 

“We are excited to add ZS as a professional services partner for i2e,” adds Paul Minshull, CEO of Scarsin Corporation.  “ZS is a market-leading provider of sales and marketing consulting services, and is well positioned to leverage i2e in helping life sciences customers improve their forecasting and decision analysis processes. ZS and Scarsin have collaborated on many existing deployments, and we believe that this expanded partnership will further benefit customers on a global basis.”
