Proofs of Concept

In 2010, the sequence services working group selected four vendors to provide proofs of concept: Cognizant/Eagle Genomics, Constellation Technologies/Microsoft, Infosys, and Thomson-Reuters. All of these proofs of concept have been tested by the sequence services team and were ethically" hacked by AT&T.

• Cognizant and Eagle Genomics
  
  Cognizant and Eagle have built a secure hosted platform to deliver a Phase 1 proof of concept of the Pistoia Alliance sequence services project. The phase 1 platform delivers Ensembl, Plasmapper, and a Gene Alias service. The platform was ethically hacked by AT&T and found to be secure except for few minor modifications to some security settings. View a presentation below explaining more about the service, or to evaluate the platform, contact Sowmyanarayan.srinivasan@cognizant.com.

• Infosys
  
  Infosys developed a secure hosted platform of trusted federated workspaces. User logins are authenticated with corporate identity, enabling scientists to access post-genomic data management services that can be scaled for performance to provide a controlled view of the public-private data interlink. This prototype was built to validate non-functional requirements of a future state NGS business platform in the cloud, which is one of the key alternate sourcing strategies that will enable life science organizations to progress into a new R&D business model.
