IMPLEMENTING NEW SYSTEMS IS CHALLENGING
A new system is not a replica of Excel
Implementing fit-for-purpose systems, especially if the departure point is Excel, creates challenges in standardizing processes, templates, or changing habits. Expert consultants help leverage the gap between “as is” and “would be” state to ensure clear understanding or requirements and unique needs to support long-term adoption.
Challenges in Change Management
Pharma companies struggle to adapt processes and systems efficiently, often facing internal resistance, delayed adoption, and misaligned personnel and workflows, which hinder operational scalability.
Silo-ed Systems Hinder Data Flows
Lack of real-time data and systems integrations creates natural silos between departments, functions and roles. Succesful implementations require data point integrations to eliminate duplicate data entry and blindness in decision making.
Misalignment with key suppliers
>60% of the clinical development spend is associated with CROs, who are naturally resistant to adopting outsourcing systems that force them into standardization. Aligning with the CROs during the implementation process- not during bidding- creates sustainable, resistance free relationships and reduces due diligence effort, while increasing transparency.
Resource and Expertise Constraints
Limited internal expertise and constrained resources prevent effective planning, negotiation, and management of clinical trial budgets and operations. Cost effective scalability often requires expansion of internal talent pool with domain experts on a per need basis.
