System Implementation

In order to bring products to market sooner and remain competitive, life science companies must carefully align technology with business needs. Systems must be selected, implemented, configured, tested, and validated using rigorous methodologies.

The shift from totally custom development to configuration of commercial off-the-shelf systems that has occurred over the past few years may have altered but has not eliminated the challenges the pharmaceutical industry faces implementing new software systems. Companies try to achieve seamless integration of diverse systems and paperless processes while attempting to get information and capability into the right hands. This leads to a struggle in adapting traditional implementation methodologies to package implementation.

Many of the traditional implementation problems remain, including controlling scope, correctly estimating effort, understanding the complexity of work, dealing with technology changes, and managing expectations. The regulated environment creates challenges in finding qualified resources. Without a documented evidence trail, regulatory bodies will rule that activities have not been performed.
