Espicom Business Intelligence is a publisher of independent and impartial information and analysis services focusing on the pharmaceutical and medical device markets. Espicom's main offices are located at Chichester, West Sussex in the United Kingdom.
[edit] History
Founded in 1981, the company, formerly known as MDIS Publications, was at one time acquired and then later divested by McGraw-Hill Inc. In June 1997, MDIS Publications changed its name to Espicom Business Intelligence. Subsequently, Espicom USA Inc was established in Princeton, New Jersey, providing a permanent operations base in the USA.
In October 2004, Espicom divested its telecoms publishing division to International Telecoms Intelligence (ITI) in order to focus on its Healthcare Intelligence business.
