maintain market share when competing with generic drugs. The PPSI information
system includes detailed information such as the individual sales
representative, zip codes, DEA number, pharmacy and prescribing physician. The

free samples through physicians and increase their value to patients who benefit
through savings on prescriptions. In addition, the PPSI system provides
incentives for chain drug stores to stock the pharmaceutical products and for

within hospitals, correctional institutions, and nursing homes. The PPSI
information system and clinical integration capability also provides a necessary
service aiding government oversight. Pharmaceutical manufacturers spend over $16
billion a year for the marketing of products. PPSI's strategy is to provide
flexible sample programs supported by technology to assist with distribution,
