APL

APL is a pharma software development and consulting firm that supports pharmaceutical research and development. Put simply, it is about managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

It makes the most sense for small and mid-sized companies. They also list Consulting and Pharmaceutical, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

APL is based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and around since 2009. You can read more at aplanalyst.com.
