The Need to Mine EPA Data
As SipcamAdvan’s product strategy revolves around developing and registering new products based on partnerships with research based companies, a broad base of industry intelligence is essential to that strategy’s success. When the company is considering moving into a new product area, it needs to know how many registrants there are in the marketplace and who has the technical registration positions that make them the most likely candidates for synergies or partnering. EPA databases contain all the information that can answer those questions, but it’s difficult to locate, and truly exhaustive manual searches are virtually impossible.
That’s why Kelly Registration Systems developed Knowtify, the regulatory data-mining tool for pesticide professionals. A Softwareas-a-Service (SaaS) solution accessible through web browsers 24/7 from any location, Knowtify gives subscribers the ability to conduct searches of virtually any aspect of regulated pesticide products, and to be notified immediately of any new information regarding products or active ingredients.
SipcamAdvan relies on Knowtify for periodic regulatory reviews. It also relies on Knowtify to identify movements in the marketplace that dovetail with its business strategy and big-picture planning – and it does so in real-time, with Knowtify data mining a fixture in executive planning sessions.
