A master library of nearly 1.2 million medical products from more than 2,500 vendors is now available for license by business-to-business e-commerce marketplaces, manufacturers, and distributors focused on the medical supply and equipment industry. Available from Medical Data Institute (MDI, Langhorne, PA, USA), this proprietary content was formerly used only for MDI's software and research tools for the medical supply industry.Posted on 11 Feb 2001
MDI keeps track of medical product descriptions, price changes, discontinued items, and offers cross-referencing capabilities to maintain accurate, updated e-catalog content. Companies can choose from a master list of e-catalog content and select various combinations of catalogs or product information to suit their specific needs. MDI has been providing information services to the medical product industry since 1987.
"To start from scratch and create an industry master e-catalog like MDI's would require an investment of close to US$1million,” says Matthew Cohn, president of MDI. "Companies interested in content like ours can just license the e-catalogs from us for considerably less.”
