Pharmaceutical Solutions Provider Skila - Launches iAlliance - The Next Generation of Alliance Management Solutions Designed to Maximize Pharmaceutical Alliance Opportunities

Morris Plains, NJ, May 11, 2005 - Skila, a Sela2 Company, announces the launch of iAlliance, the next generation of its unique solutions targeted at managing the complexities of pharmaceutical alliances.

Alliances play an increasingly critical role in the Pharmaceutical Industry. An Alliance partner represents the opportunity to quickly acquire resources, therapeutic expertise, market access, and marketing expertise and share costs and risks. As a result, Pharmaceutical Alliance revenues have almost tripled over the last decade and currently represent over 25% of total revenues.

While pharmaceutical alliances can be lucrative, their formation is fraught with challenges that threaten their success which comes from its core nature: bridge over cultural and language differences while building trust - and moving quickly. This translates into challenges on:

1. Aligning Goal and Objectives and roles and responsibilities to ensure smooth execution
2. Designing a measurement infrastructure that ensures a clear focus on maximizing critical performance criteria
3. Developing a communications and collaborative infrastructure that improves and accelerates decision making
   

Skila's vast experience with alliances and partnerships led to the development of ialliance, Skila's next generation Alliance Management Solution, which was developed so that pharmaceutical alliance partners can meet these key challenges head on. At the foundation of iAlliance is a unique and proven methodology that provides the critical infrastructure that alliances must have to strategically plan, maximize execution, and measure performance so that they optimize their opportunity. iAlliance is a turn key solution which can be established and configured within days. Skila, not only manages the collective knowledge of the Alliance, but also plays the role of facilitator between the partners. The solution utilizes Skila's proprietary Intelligration® platform which, integrates knowledge from multiple data sources into a "Single Touch Point," as well as provides the communication and collaboration backbone necessary to develop high performance teams.
