BUSINESS MODEL: 
THE RIGHT CONTENT AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME
• The Problem:
– ABC Pharmaceuticals has just released a prescription drug
it believes is superior to that of an established competitor
• A few seminal scientific articles prove this and ABC would
like to distribute 100,000 print and electronic copies of these
articles to physicians
• The Solution:
– DYSC provides a platform for ABC Pharmaceuticals to
procure the desired scientific articles, content and rights in
a timely, cost effective, efficient and easy to use fashion
