1. A system comprising:
- a network interface communicating with a memory;
the memory communicating with a processor;
and the processor, when executing a computer program, is configured to;
receive a first data feed and a second data feed;
parse the first data feed into first data and the second data feed into second data;
assemble a first unique key by transforming the first data, wherein the first unique key comprises at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, or a unit dose identifier;
assemble a second unique key by transforming the second data, wherein the second unique key comprises at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, or a unit dose identifier;
determine a relationship between the first data and the second data by comparing the first unique key and the second unique key;
analyze the relationship to create output data, wherein the output data comprises at least one of;
a cost effectiveness of purchasing a drug product from different suppliers, a determination of a lowest cost per unit of the drug product, a manufacturer market share for the drug product, or a strategy for submitting a contract bid for the drug product; and
generate reports based at least partially on the output data.

6. A method comprising:
-
parsing, by a computer-based for determining relationships, a first data feed into first data; parsing, by a computer-based system, a second data feed into second data; assembling a first unique key by transforming the first data, wherein the first unique key comprises at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, or a unit dose identifier; assembling, by the computer-based system, a second unique key by transforming the second data, wherein the second unique key comprises at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, or a unit dose identifier; determining, by a computer-based system a relationship between the first data and the second data by comparing the first unique key and the second unique key; and creating, by a computer-based system, output data by analyzing the relationship, wherein the output data comprises at least one of;
a cost effectiveness of purchasing a drug product from different suppliers, a determination of a lowest cost per unit of the drug product, a manufacturer market share for the drug product, or a strategy for submitting a contract bid for the drug product. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computer, for determining g relationships, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
-
parsing a first data feed into first data; parsing a second data feed into second data; assembling a first unique key by transforming the first data, wherein the first unique key comprises at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, or a unit dose identifier; assembling a second unique key by transforming the second data, wherein the second unique key comprises at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, or a unit dose identifier; determining a relationship between the first data and the second data by comparing the first unique key and the second unique key; and creating output data by analyzing the relationship, wherein the output data comprises at least one of;
a cost effectiveness of purchasing a drug product from different suppliers, a determination of a lowest cost per unit of the drug product, a manufacturer market share for the drug product, or a strategy for submitting a contract bid for the drug product.
