Cegedim was created in 1969 by Jean-Claude Labrune, a French visionary entrepreneur who focused on the pharmaceutical industry to provide companies with tailored services that help them build successful commercial strategies. In the late 70’s the first Customer Relationship Management solution designed for the Pharmaceutical industry was launched in France and quickly became a standard. With the success of its solutions, Cegedim quickly expanded its business internationally. In May 2007, Cegedim reinforced its global presence and leadership with the acquisition of Dendrite International, a US based company leading the SFA business in the healthcare sector on its continent as well as in Asia. This successful integration gave birth to a uniquely capable global entity providing Life Sciences ready CRM solutions. Today the new company renamed Cegedim Relationship Management does business in over 80 countries and accounts for more than 50 percent of the Cegedim Group’s annual revenues of $1.1 billion. Around the world, Cegedim Relationship Management works with companies behind the scenes to develop the most appropriate solutions that effectively manage the complex regulatory environment, minimize risks and decrease costs. Laurent Labrune, Group founder’s son, is the Chief Executive Officer of the new global organisation since 2007. He brought a wealth of creativity, innovation and expertise with a strong and knowledgeable management team. Altogether, they effectively made strategic choices for the long term leadership of the company.
