Data & Digital adaptation in Pharmaceutical Quality Operations

About the Webinar
Pharmaceutical industry is transforming its business models and operations in many ways. Data & digitalization is one of the key driver of the transformation, enabling the companies to improve efficiency and be future ready. The role of Quality function in the Pharmaceutical industry is also evolving and today the function is seen more as a partner, providing agile and innovative solutions and support to the business.

At Novartis, ‘going big on data and digital’ is one of the five strategic priorities towards reimagining the way medicine is developed, manufactured and reach patients. As the focus is shifting towards customer and patient experience, it is important for these companies and their Quality functions to allow experimentation and use of latest of technology to create breakthrough solutions. In addition to providing a case for data & digital transformation and role of in-house service centers, this presentation will provide some examples, future opportunities and challenges in adaptation of data & digital solutions in Quality operations.
