In creating an IDC MarketScape based on diversity of service offerings, global industry coverage, commitment to growth, and flexibility in deployment, several services companies have risen to the top. These leading companies are diverse and achieved excellence in different ways. Concurrently, the breadth of vendors achieving Leader status as measured using the IDC MarketScape tool demonstrates clearly that there are multiple ways to succeed. Overall, it is apparent that the drug safety services vendor landscape is diverse, and multiple vendors are finding success, even within the same life science companies.

According to Alan S.
