Jason Erickson, leading Ashfield Engage’s Customer Experience function for North America, noted: “Ashfield Engage delivers expert engagement throughout the continuum of healthcare outreach to provide customers with the knowledge and medicines they need.”
“In working with PROPENSITY4, we are elevating our engagement models by strategically quantifying the approach and channels to deliver the best customer experience, while optimizing ROI for our clients. Not only can we execute programs, but we can now offer more value by identifying the drivers of successful, targeted execution through the highly impactful work of PROPENSITY4.”
Former Astra Zeneca business insight director, Sese Abhulimen, Managing Director, PROPENSITY4 established the company to move away from project-specific analytics to a big-picture approach, ensuring that data, analytics and insights are tied together to drive strategy across payers, patients and healthcare professionals. Using proprietary analytical platforms, PROPENSITY4 integrates the appropriate internal and external data assets, defines the right methodology set, and then runs specific analytic models to drive detailed insight into market size and opportunity; into payer, HCP and patient profiles; and into how and where companies can effectively compete.
