In addition to our pre-packaged services, Technology Catalysts International also provides customized consulting that is tailored by the client. Areas in which TCI has consulting expertise include pharmaceuticals, drug delivery, chemicals, advanced materials, advanced processes, and consumer products such as food, cosmetics, toiletries, and packaging. Below are some examples of custom consulting that TCI has performed:
Global Market Assessments:
TCI has completed global market assessments on a number of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, drug delivery systems, and other technologies. The studies involve the development of estimates for the current and forecast market size, current and potential competitors (companies or technologies), potential customers and end uses. Research includes substructure searching, identifying the relevant patent and technical literature, interviewing customers, suppliers and industry thought leaders.
Competitive Assessments:
TCI has investigated the competitive situation in various segments of the fine chemical and biotech arenas. This might include identification of new technological developments and their commercial prospects, new applications of current technology, and/or strategic implications of company plans. In addition, TCI has completed studies where companies are seeking to acquire the best technology or company to implement their strategic plans.
Clients have utilized this expertise to:
- Evaluate a company's products and proprietary position
- Assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for a developing technology
- Investigate customer perceptions of competitors
Pre-FDA Inspection Services:
TCI also provides pre-FDA inspection and audit services. These services are designed to assist companies to identify those areas requiring improvements prior to formal FDA inspection so that FDA approvals will be granted. TCI’s experts have conducted numerous such inspections and audits and are available to travel to the client’s site. At the time of such visits, TCI will perform a rigorous audit and then follow up with a detailed report of our findings, and if necessary work closely with the client to implement the required modifications.
India & China GMP Plants:
TCI has prepared reports on requirements and procedures to be followed for obtaining GMP approvals for bulk drugs by pharmaceutical and fine chemical companies in India and China. In order to accomplish this, the manufacturer has to maintain very comprehensive records from raw material stage to final packaging. TCI is also in a position to identify companies in these countries that have FDA approvals, who can be targeted as toll manufacturers. In order to reduce in-house costs, numerous pharmaceutical companies have turned to the East for bulk drug procurement. TCI can introduce companies in the United States and Europe to such opportunities.
