Summary
AWS, Accenture and Merck & Co. are collaborating to build
an industry technology platform for drug research.
Here’s why
We are in an era of unprecedented opportunities
to translate breakthrough science discoveries into
therapies, but IT is a barrier.
Platform paradigm can improve efficiency,
flexibility and user experience, accelerate
innovation, with a lower total cost of ownership.
Precompetitive IT collaboration will reduce
duplicative effort on commodity capabilities and
let scientists focus on the science and their data.

Commodity platforms allow ISVs to focus on their unique
value by making available modules accessible for assembly
Focus on unique value
• Services exposed through APIs
• APIs decouple application from service
implementation and design
• Decoupling layers enable multiple speed IT

An opportunity exists for a precompetitive Research
platform that delivers value across the eco-system
Research Platform Imperatives:
Establish a two-sided market
for providers and consumers
Define industry standard APIs for
pre-competitive functions
Enable value creation
through component assembly
Lower barrier to entry for new,
small software players; help
large players innovate faster

ISVs can benefit from a two-sided market ecosystem, but will
need to rethink their model in order to remain competitive
Considerations for ISVs pivoting
to a platform model:
Solution packaging
Usage tracking
License model evolution
Leveraging platform infrastructure
Talent redeployment
Defending lower barriers to entry and exit
Two sided open platforms generally
outperform standalone products:
