openQ Announces Official Expansion into Europe



    openQ, a provider of integrated key relationship management
    solutions for the life sciences industry, today announced the opening
    of a European office, located in Zurich, Switzerland. This
    announcement represents openQ's further expansion into Europe. The
    Company experienced unprecedented growth throughout 2006, particularly
    in Europe, which is emerging as a center of innovative life sciences
    activity.

    Driven by demand through its current customer base and the uptick
    in pharmaceutical and biotech growth throughout Europe, openQ has put
    itself in the epicenter of life sciences industry activity. The
    Company will be servicing major pharmaceutical, biotech diverse life
    sciences firms looking to integrate comprehensive KOL relationship
    programs, and will be looking to expand its well-established customer
    base throughout the region.

    "We have seen unprecedented growth within the life sciences
    industry of the emergence of KOL management, particularly in Europe,"
    said Jim Zuffoletti, president and co-founder, openQ. "Key
    relationship management spans the entire globe, and it's critical to
    any life sciences company to effectively manage its KOL relationships,
    based on the market shift toward an increased reliance upon KOLs.
    However, locality is still an essential component given KOL guidelines
    and varying regional and organizational regulations, which is why
    openQ's technology has become so important to European pharmaceutical
    companies."
