The BoBs will be presented at a special awards ceremony on April 29, 2019, at the Renaissance Hotel Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL, where TGaS, a division of Trinity, is holding its semi-annual Client Summit.

The benchmark data is drawn from a variety of quantitative and qualitative sources and goes through special processes to ensure an “apples-to-apples” comparison. In addition, life sciences companies were invited to nominate vendors that had favorably impacted their business in measurable ways. Winners received a significant number of “likely to recommend” positive ratings and scored high on their ability to align, plan and execute to outcomes and to listen and respond effectively.
