However, health systems are no longer willing to pay what they used to for pharmaceuticals. Regulators are now asking companies to produce and deliver more complex product portfolios at a lower cost, while continuing to meet stringent quality requirements. This calls for transformation within the industry ­ one that is powered by technology. According to PwC, one of the major one of the primary step pharmaceutical companies can take is to create better connectivity between different parts of their value chain. Today, many companies within the architecture of pharma companies are in the standalone form. Bringing connectivity into these systems will help companies add flexibility. The interconnected systems will help companies link the feedback from patients directly to the development and manufacturing processes. These will in-turn aid in product improvements and cost reduction.Apropos with this scenario, our aim with this edition is to help companies discover best of breed technology solution providers.
