solutions for the life sciences industry, today announced the opening
of a European office, located in Zurich, Switzerland. This

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."
