Cloud solutions for pharmaceutical and life sciences companies

Life sciences companies are innovating faster than ever before. Companies are pushing through current boundaries to innovate faster and leverage the power of cloud to automate manual, repetitive tasks, run experiments faster through simulation, and generate data driven decisions in minutes.

No longer are these companies worrying about technology issues of the past: application availability, long timelines to implement or enhance technology capabilities, slow response times when using technology. Rather, they are spending their energy solving their current challenges: pricing pressures, rising consumer expectations, eroding trust, competitive differentiation, and internal cultural changes.

We work with organizations across the industry value chain — from big pharma to medtech and biotech to genomics — to innovate, thrive and grow in the cloud.

Realizing business value through cloud transformation. What business outcomes are you looking to achieve?

Biopharma and medical products supply chains are facing unprecedented challenges today. We help our pharma and medical device companies design and implement a more modern, resilient, interconnected supply chain using cloud technology.

Implement a resilient supply chain

Use data to get more personal with your consumers and patients, leverage data-driven insights, and quickly tap into new technology like AI and machine learning so you can become the intelligent health organization of the future. Use next-generation cloud tech to produce and deliver new, more effective, personalized treatments while adapting to new ways of working and finding new ways to connect with your patients via automation.

Reimagining the patient experience

Reduce time to market and accelerate trial execution through intelligent client trial design. We help our clients resolve inefficient and ineffective clinical trial functions by integrating clinical and real work insights. Using cloud-native tech, we create solutions to fix disparate and fractured R&D operations and processes, so you can focus more on driving patient outcomes than troubleshooting trial operations.

Powering intelligent trial design with AI

Prepare your organization for tomorrow and be ready for the unexpected. We help our clients in pharma and life sciences digitize and automate the inner workings of their organization - ranging from finance to human resources and beyond — so they can continue to deliver on their strategy, meet customer demands and capture new growth opportunities.

Cloud operating model and workforce

Bring the IT part of your organization up to speed to embrace all things “cloud-first” so they can be a better partner of the business. Combining our deep health industry and regulatory knowledge with our robust cloud engineering capabilities, we can help you upskill your existing team or elevate your cloud efforts with speed and scale.
