Below is the thirteenth installment in the ZS history message series

Increased Data Availability Sparks a Leap in Technology.
The early 1990s saw the advent of IMS physician-level data. Consequently,
the amount of data ZS tracked for its clients grew dramatically:
what started as territory data related to hundreds of territories,
then postal code data related to 20,000 zip codes, grew to include
the professional backgrounds, interests and prescription-writing habits
of more than 600,000 physicians.
Jean-Jacques Raoult was instrumental in driving the shift from mainframe
to Unix servers in the early 90's. The move allowed ZS to transition
from managing hundreds of megabytes to hundreds of gigabytes. This in
turn laid the foundation for ZS to offer analytical data warehousing
services to clients in the mid-90's and grow our work dramatically.
Today, the firm manages more than 30 terabytes of data.
Forward-thinking people have always been behind the big transformations
and the incremental changes that help ZS continually improve its ability
to meet clients' needs.
