epista IT opens its Swiss affiliate

 
2 July, 2011 – With the establishment of its first affiliate, the Denmark-based consultancy epista IT aims to expand its services to European customers and strengthen its position as a leading provider of specialty IT compliance solutions for Life Science companies.

One of the world’s leading Life Science clusters, the BioValley gathers the regions of Northwest Switzerland, South Baden in Germany and Alsace in France. The cluster consists of approximately 600 companies, ranging from global large pharmaceutical companies to start-ups.

epista IT has assisted some customers in the BioValley region since 2009, when the spin-off consultancy firm started in North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Establishing an affiliate closer to the BioValley cluster was just a matter of time but, first, epista IT wanted to consolidate its activities in yet another important Life Science region, the Medicon Valley, which encompasses Northeastern Denmark and Southern Sweden.

After only two years of existence, epista IT is well-recognized as a reliable, highly specialized provider of IT compliance solutions in the Scandinavian market. Today, epista IT’s client base comprises more than 40 companies. It’s time to go further.

“A huge potential for optimization of business processes through IT lies within many organizations in the BioValley region, especially in the small and medium Life Science companies, and we have to be closer to them to be able to meet the demand,” says Klavs Esbjerg, managing director at epista IT.

The new office was officially inaugurated on 1 July 2011 and it is located in a pleasant area by Lake Zürich, about 25 km southeast of Zürich city and 90 km from Basel.
