Life Sciences overview

Life Science companies, such as pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device and diagnostics manufacturers, operate in a highly regulated environment. Operations are both data and document-intensive. Business leaders are tasked with transforming their organizations into innovation centers, while maintaining tight regulatory compliance with governmental guidelines, such as the FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 and the EU's Annex 11. CIOs must enable other departments to share key information among team members and make the best decisions possible, while dealing with vast amounts of data and information often housed within legacy systems. Software for Life Sciences is designed to help tackle many of these challenges.

Segments served

Life Sciences challenges

  • Increasing global regulations

    Life Sciences companies need to reduce the costs of regulatory operations and speed up health agency approvals to accelerate time to market. Functions across the value chain, such as Regulatory Affairs, Quality, R&D, Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution are under strict directives to maintain documents and records under careful compliance to GxP, ISO, USP and other standards and regulations.

  • Profound disconnect across the value chain

    Research and Development, Production, Distribution and Marketing often create information silos, slowing the flow of information, such as Life Sciences content, among stakeholders and impeding time to market. This problem is compounded by the multitude of mergers and acquisitions occurring in the market.

  • Growing volume of data

    Life Sciences companies generate a vast amount of data from scientific research, clinical trials, patient profiling, compliance and regulatory requirements. As the volume and variety of data continue to grow, so do the challenges of managing and analyzing that data for maximum business advantage.

  • Rapidly changing Life Sciences technology

    Life Sciences companies are under pressure to balance innovation with cost-cutting measures across the enterprise, while ensuring the drugs brought to market are managed in a patient-centric way.
