BISHOP’S STORTFORD, U.K. - Sept. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Bishops Stortford, UK. Dotmatics (http://www.dotmatics.com/) announced today that it has seamlessly integrated data analysis and visualization solution Vortex (http://www.dotmatics.com/products/vortex/) with Thomson Reuters’ Cortellis® (http://cortellis.thomsonreuters.com/), the industry’s premier Life Sciences information delivery platform. Scientists can now use Vortex to directly retrieve data from Cortellis and combine it with their own, in-house records to gain new insights into their research. The combination of the powerful analytic tools of Vortex, high quality drug, patent and market information from Thomson Reuters’ Cortellis with home-grown data guarantees that scientists can promptly find critical intelligence to make effective, evidence-based decisions.

Vortex is a data analysis and visualization platform that has chemical structure intelligence whilst Cortellis provides an integrated view into Thomson Reuters’ pharmaceutical data content. The accessible and graphical interface within Vortex makes for easy data analysis across all data types whilst providing users with a unique and novel way to view their data.

“Following customer requests we’ve developed a module that enables users to query Cortellis directly from Vortex. Users can then combine results from this search with their own data. This data mash-up can be done very rapidly, providing a unique insight into the research target,” said Dr. Mike Hartshorn, CSO at Dotmatics. “Vortex undoubtedly provides an easy way to analyse and visualize complex data derived from multiple data sources and makes Cortellis an integral part of researchers’ daily activity.”
