Advanced Group of Companies' history tells a story of a fast growing, entrepreneurial organization that is flexible and fast-paced. As you read and hear about our company’s history, you will see two recurring themes that hold true today.

• First, Advanced is agile and routinely conforms to the individual needs of our clients.
• Second, Advanced seeks growth opportunities and to facilitate this growth, we have:
  • expanded geographically into new territories
  • monitored and come to understand changes in the industry
  • continually met our clients changing needs

The genesis of many Advanced business units and services can be found by examining the history of our client relationships and ACRS is an example of this. The history of ACRS begins in 1994, when Leo Sheridan took staff outsourcing for a major pharmaceutical company to a higher level.

Unable to find an outsourcing agency capable of delivering the same high quality product delivered by their own data management group, our first client worked hand- in-hand with the Advanced Group to identify and train our earliest data managers. With some of those pioneers still serving in leadership roles today, ACRS holds to the same high standards of excellence that are typically found only in data management groups within top-ranked pharmaceutical companies.

Over the years, ACRS has developed a reputation for offering unique and flexible outsourcing solutions. The direction the company has taken is directly related to the needs of our clients.
