4. Life Science Industry Challenges
• Increased Drug Development Time and Cost:
• 10 – 15 years = average time to bring a new drug to market
• $1B+ = average cost to bring a new drug to market
• Increase regulatory scrutiny & adherence to requirements
• Does the drug provide increased or enhanced efficacy…?
• Does the drug provide better safety…?
• Plus, Internal Process Improvements:
• 90% = amount of corporate memory existing on paper
• 15% =average time spent reading factual content
• 50% = average time spent searching for content
• 19 = average number of times document gets copied
• 25% = annual document growth rate
5. Life Science Industry Challenges
• Need for Collaboration and Control of Compliant Content:
• The lack of a centralized, globally accessible platform to manage and store
essential study documentation
• Inconsistent document management processes across the organization
and between organizations
• Inconsistent or incomplete work assignments
• Inefficient notification of key events requiring follow-on action
• Incomplete, missing, expired or redundant documentation
• Other technical, administrative or security related obstacles
Lack of an effective document management system can lead to loss of
expert knowledge, inconsistent procedures and processes, re-work,
flawed decision making, and missed deadlines, all of which ultimately
translate to increased costs.
