How are cloud-based enterprise performance management (EPM) solutions helping companies in the Life Sciences industry address the challenges they face and take advantage of new market opportunities to drive growth and profits?
Companies in the Life Sciences industry are facing major challenges. On the positive side, aging populations, chronic/lifestyle diseases, emerging-market expansion, and treatment and technology advances are driving growth in the Life Sciences sector. However, efforts by governments, health care providers, and health plans to reduce costs, improve outcomes, and demonstrate value are dramatically altering the health care demand and delivery landscape.
Deloitte’s 2015 Life Sciences Industry Outlook Report reported that “it is becoming increasingly evident that the global Life Sciences sector is operating in an era of significant transformation. A dynamically changing clinical, regulatory, and business landscape is requiring that pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical technology companies adapt traditional research and development (R&D), pricing, supply chain, and commercial models.”
Despite these challenges, Deloitte believes that the global Life Sciences industry still has the potential for significant growth. It’s up to each organization to determine how it can build and sustain new strategic business models. Those focusing on operational and financial performance are quickly becoming the most agile of organizations. They’re also, as a result, set up for long-term success.
