Microsoft Announces 2006 Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Innovation Award Winners

Microsoft has released the winners of the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Innovation Awards for 2006. The Award goes to those making significant contributions and bringing innovating thinking to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry including the sales and marketing sector.

This award was incredibly exciting for me as it rewards those perusing the fundamental concepts that are so strongly embedded within me. The idea of using technology, especially Tablet PCs, in an effort to improve the pharmaceutical sales experience for both the pharmaceutical representatives and doctors is a theme I hope to one day be a part of. It's not the most lucrative position out there and competition right now is at it's worse. Pharmaceutical representatives are also getting a bad reputation themselves these days and too often it seems "Big Pharma" is spending more time and money on advertising campaigns than research.

I hope I can make a significant impact and change some of these ideas as well as inform both doctors and their patients of new and improved drugs. I've taken advantage of the Tablet PC and its capabillites during my college journey and have personally witnessed first hand its abilities to streamline and handle many complex situations. Creative problem solving, innovative thinking and a Tablet PC has allowed me to overcome many daunting tasks and I feel these skills will carry on in my work in pharmaceutical sales. Maybe one day I can proudly say I work for a company being honored with this award but for now am happy to see my thoughts and dreams of a world where doctors, patients, pharmaceutical reps and technology like Tablet PCs are slowly uniting with one another.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Inc is the company that won this prestigious award for their utilization of Tablet PCs in their marketing and pharmaceutical sales efforts. I hope to post a little bit more about GSK at a latter time as their involvement with Tablet PCs really deserves its own post. For now let me just say I am incredibly excited about this company and plan to research its products and use of technology as it would be a dream to be a part of a team that shares so many of my own core values and uses technology, like Tablet PCs, to provide and share their excellent resources and products.
