i3 Statprobe Selected to Assume Bulk of Lilly's U.S. Data Management Work

i3 Opens Indianapolis Office to Accommodate Planned Expansion
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(Business Wire)--
Pharmaceutical services company i3 announced today that global
pharmaceutical firm Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) is transferring
the majority of its U.S. data management work to i3 Statprobe, a
leader in clinical data services, as part of Lilly's ongoing effort to
transform its business. This significantly expands the business
relationship between the two organizations.

This agreement builds on i3's steady growth in functional services
outsourcing. Clients like Lilly have found that outsourcing functional
services such as data management and clinical research enhances
efficiencies and reduces cost. These benefits are critical to
customers who are competing in a changing business environment for
pharmaceutical companies.

"i3 is pleased to be selected by a company of Lilly's stature, and
believes it reflects our fundamental commitment to the high level of
customer service that the i3 Statprobe team has provided to Lilly over
the years and our strategy of operational, clinical and scientific
specialization," said Glenn Bilawsky, i3 CEO. "We are honored to bring
this approach more broadly to a customer with the profile of Eli Lilly
and Company."

i3 expects to hire staff from Lilly and to add additional new
positions in the Indianapolis area. i3 is scheduled to open a new
21,000 square-foot office in Indianapolis on August 18th at 4745 Haven
Point Boulevard.
