North America Remains Strongest Link in Global Pharma-Biotech Industry Chain, a "Navigating the Currents of Change" Webcast on Industrialinfo.com

SUGAR LAND, TX, Apr 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Reported by Annette Kreuger, Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- There is no arguing that the entire Pharma-Biotech Industry has undergone a massive reorganization that is still not complete.

But reports of the industry's demise were premature to say the least.

The truth of the matter can always be found in the facts, and the fact is that the industry continues to spur billions of dollars in new capital investment each year. And this is a figure that is trending back up from the lows of a couple of years ago, when virtually every industry was slammed by the economic tsunami.

A recent analysis of North American projects found in the Pharmaceutical-Biotech Tracker - Online Database reveals 713 active capital and maintenance (MRO) projects, with a combined total investment value (TIV) of $14.5 billion, that are scheduled to begin construction in 2012. The undeniable fact of this spending should encourage the more widespread use of another truism when referring to the industry: Even when things are really bad, they're still pretty good.

Software Telco Congress

Virtualization has taken the IT world by storm but to date the comms market has been mostly unaffected – relying instead on proprietary appliances for numerous functions. A recent industry push to establish network standards virtualization will potentially shake-up the telecommunications market even more than the move to IP communications. As network hardware begins to be released as software, carriers are expected to save money and benefit greatly from new levels of flexibility related to hosting their network in private and virtual private clouds.
