Forgive my naiveté, but we have delved deeply int

Correct me if I am wrong, but in terms of partnering the product for use in clinical trials, instead of going after the individual pharma and biopharma companies that are developing the drugs, it makes more sense to go after the companies administering the clinical trials. That would be the Contract Research Organizations (CRO's). They are the ones working with multiple pharma at the same time, they are the ones that have to market themselves to be more efficient and provide a more efficient/cost effective/results driven product to their customers, and obviously we believe NotifiMed will help in that regard. It may be more sexy to have an 8K saying we are partnering with Pfizer or Novartis or Sanofi, but there is much more meat and potatoes if we sign a CRO. Reminds me of the joke where a young bull is sitting with his father overlooking a group of cows. The young bull says Dad, let's run down and have our way with one of the cows. The father bull says, no, let's walk down a have our way with all the cows.
Maybe this is the moment where you all say "No Duh". If so, please let me have my Come to Jesus Moment without ridicule.
Below is a list of top CRO's from Wikipedia. I think Redspeed or someone else mentioned there have been clues, but I am a bit daft when it comes to recognizing clues and need to be hit on the head. We get in bed with any of the below, and demonstrate we offer a more efficient and cost effective way to collect patient data, and I am sure we soon become partners with a majority of them, if Rory continues his abilities to sign non-exclussive deals. The below companies are cash machines and considered a necessary evil by the pharma as they try to become leaner and outsource everything in a move towards becoming virtual companies.
Anyway, just thought it would make for good discussion.
