Cambridge Semantics, the leading provider of modern, graph-driven data integration for the enterprise data fabric, today announced that Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and its US-based biopharmaceutical business EMD Serono, have selected Cambridge Semantics as its data fabric provider.
Through this multi-year agreement, Cambridge Semantics will help Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany establish an enterprise data fabric to support multiple data management initiatives. Cambridge Semantics’ Anzo® platform will enable Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany to deliver on immediate data-driven requirements, including regulatory compliance with Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP), while establishing a future-proof data strategy by driving further value from data and analytics.
“New regulatory requirements necessitate innovative approaches to data management,” said Jörg Werner, Associate Director Regulatory Data Governance at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. “We selected Cambridge Semantics over other software vendors because Anzo’s underlying technology, which is based on semantics graph data models, aligns well with our data strategy to integrate and access information across research and development.”
Cambridge Semantics and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany delivered the first production solution in December 2019 focused on harmonizing and standardizing terminologies for regulatory compliance.

Anzo drives digital transformation and enables deep business insights when an organization’s data is highly distributed, vastly siloed, complex and when users want answers to unanticipated questions at scale and speed.
Moritz Kloft, IT Product Manager at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany added, “While we had multiple platform choices, including several based on semantics and ontology, only Cambridge Semantics has the technology, team and vision to deliver an enterprise-scale platform to support our data-driven research and development roadmap.”
