TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2019 /CNW/ - ACTO achieved 158% year to date revenue growth and has digitally transformed over 50 life sciences companies, including global pharma, medical device, and dental companies. Since its launch one year ago, the ACTO Commercialization Cloud for Life Sciences has digitally transformed companies such as AstraZeneca, Teleflex, and Philips Respironics, enabling their field force to promote on clinical value. Several industry awards have recognized ACTO's enterprise-grade technology.
"It's an exciting time to be in healthcare. As we move towards value-based care, there is an opportunity for life sciences companies to fundamentally reimagine and re-engineer how they promote on clinical value," said Parth Khanna, CEO of ACTO, "We are proud to partner with life sciences companies to lead this change and put patients first. In 2020, ACTO and its partners will continue bringing disruptive innovations to market to help the industry educate providers, payors, and patients on the clinical benefits of their life-saving products."
Product Development - After the ACTO Innovation Summit in late 2018, ACTO launched its category-defining Commercialization Cloud for Life Sciences. The ACTO Commercialization Cloud is the only unified cloud platform designed for life sciences that delivers field effectiveness and powerful data insights by combining micro-learning, sales enablement, video coaching, and live events in a single, engaging app. This year, ACTO proved itself as a robust, enterprise-grade technology with thousands of reps in 73 countries using the platform.
Key Case Studies - ACTO's customers have achieved significant results. AstraZeneca piloted ACTO with 300 reps to align learning with commercial objectives and break into a new market. They then did a full deployment to 3000 reps in just 3 months.

Finally, with ACTO, Teleflex exceeded sales targets in just three months for a product that was underperforming for two years.
