Our support includes problem identification, opportunities, scenario capabilities development, business case development, vendor selections, implementation, program/project planning, and strategy.
Key areas:
As the clinical pipeline expands manual processes become cumbersome for clinical operations and the need for digitalization and automation increases.
For larger pharmaceutical companies, the issue is often a complicated systems landscape with a multitude of overlapping functionality. For smaller companies, a common pitfall is the ad hoc implementation of systems to quickly support business needs, with no overall strategic direction.
As a result, experiences are not shared, and investments are spread amongst short-term solutions.
A Digital R&D IT Consulting Strategy paves the way for creating a systems implementation roadmap with clear direction and alignment with the Business Strategy. A well-defined Clinical IT Strategy identifies technology gaps as well as what capabilities are needed when and what solutions will bring the most value. A roadmap explains when to implement to ensure investments are focused.
It takes time, effort, and investment to develop a good business case and we can help you with that.
A good business case must clearly describe why a change is needed, what is in the scope of the change (process, technology, and people), and how the implementation and change will be carried out.
Planning a digitalization program in detail with new processes, executing it with the right resources to ensure success, and ensuring benefits are realized is a big task.
It is important that the objectives are well-defined or specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timebound, or SMART as is often being used for this. Good program/project planning relies on a good business case typically emerges as a result of a good strategy.
