Life Sciences:
Biotech and Pharmaceuticals
The cost of bringing a new drug to market has been estimated at over US$802 million. And life sciences organizations are facing mounting pressure, increasing drug development costs and competition. Biotech and pharma firms have to protect their intellectual capital, meet growing demands for productivity, reduce time-to-market, comply with ever-changing regulations, and rise to the challenges of documentation requirements and information management.
