Especially when it comes to relational SQL databases? At Sotex Solutions, we help companies reduce their Azure infrastructure costs, with a particular focus on relational SQL databases and database-related spending. We are confident enough in our approach that we do not necessarily need to be paid by the hour. Instead, we are open to an outcome-based engagement where our compensation is tied to the savings we actually deliver.

A semantic model built for clinical search can become much more than a search component. This article explores how terminology harmonization evolved into a shared foundation for structured data capture, validation, selected business rules and application behaviour, and the engineering lessons we learned along the way.

Most teams approach STS certification as a final step. Our experience was different. A client request led us deep into the security layer of the STS ecosystem long before certification began. Although we ultimately built and certified a Vending System and Token Server, that early work gave us a deeper understanding of token generation, encryption, and system behavior. The result was a first-attempt certification pass and several lessons on preparation, scope, and system design.

A comparison of two approaches to large scale biomedical literature classification: LLM based classification and a hybrid architecture combining named entity recognition, ontology embeddings, and disease normalization. Using 38.6 million PubMed records, we evaluated throughput, cost, ontology alignment, and traceability, finding that hybrid pipelines remain the more practical choice for production scale, ontology driven systems.

Clinical trials today run across a complex mix of systems. Data moves between Electronic Data Capture systems, Clinical Trial Management Systems, ePRO platforms, safety databases, and analytics environments. Without a shared structure, this exchange becomes slow, expensive, and error-prone. This is where ODM comes in.

Why is AI still off limits in so many regulated organizations? For healthcare, pharma, and energy teams, cloud-based LLMs raise serious concerns around data control, auditability, and compliance. This guide explains how private AI systems can run entirely inside your infrastructure, using your own documents to deliver secure, compliant insights. See how regulated teams are unlocking AI without sending data outside the firewall.
