The Information Centre

The Information Centre (TIC) was a specialized healthcare data and market intelligence company based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1997, the firm focused on providing the pharmaceutical industry with high-quality analysis of primary care data, including prescribing habits and patient longitudinal records. TIC played a crucial role in helping life science companies understand the UK healthcare market and optimize their commercial strategies through data-driven insights. In 2009, the company was acquired by Quintiles (now IQVIA), a move that significantly expanded Quintiles' European data capabilities. The company's expertise and data assets were subsequently integrated into IQVIA's Real-World Solutions division.
