5 reasons why the pharmaceutical industry can benefit from migrating data to the Cloud

Successfully embarking on the digital transition pathway is key for staying competitive in an environment where developing new medical drugs is increasingly expensive. With its #Cloudbasedmonitoringsolutions, Dickson leverages today’s leading technologies to help customers save money that could be better invested in R&D for creating new drugs.?

Here are 5 major reasons why Dickson considers that pharmaceutical companies can benefit from Cloud-based #datastorage:?

1?? #Scalability and #agility

Building pharmaceutical business using local servers and on-premises data storage can be a tedious task for IT departments: companies need to buy a variety of equipment, maintain it, replace it after a few years, analyze security, and even create and deploy security updates.

Using a Cloud-based data storage system, they can eliminate that time-consuming task and enable IT teams to focus on other challenges, adapt storage architecture to changing needs in a heartbeat, and increase capacity to keep up with business.

Externalizing data storage essentially means that someone else is in charge of the hardware aspect of the data storage service, leaving pharmaceutical companies more room to concentrate on their core business activity: developing medical drugs with the least possible operational risks or distractions.

In a 麦肯锡 report on Cloud computing for #lifescience industries, Jim Swanson , Enterprise Chief Information Officer for 强生公司 says this about scalability:

“???????????????????? ????????, ???????????????? ???????? ??????????????, ???????????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ??????????????????, ???? ???????? ???? ????????’?? ???????????????? ???? ???? ???????????????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ?????????????????????????? ????????.”

2?? #Automation and #efficiency

It is now commonly accepted, through widespread industry testing and experience, that automation improves processes and represents another way for companies to save both time and money.?

#Cloudsystems ease file processing and sharing, both internally and internationally. Data liquidity allows organizations to share the right amount of information with anyone who needs it. With that ability, it is now possible to #automate tasks across departments.

For example, if temperature in storage or during transportation exceeds the set limit, the information is transmitted directly to the right person anywhere in the world.?

3?? #Resilience and #datasecurity?

Qualified and reliable services are essential when it comes to data storage business offerings. A local #IT? department would most likely identify security issues and implement patches. On the other hand, specialized organizations are – by definition – far more focused on the issue and therefore more responsive and effective regarding security.

Furthermore, #pharmaceuticalcompanies are very often subject to regulatory demands and data monitoring controls, for which Cloud systems offer highly detailed #traceability.

4?? Data #analytics?

One smart way to leverage data analysis is to keep a close watch on supply chain integrity to identify potential weak points and prevent incidents that could damage thermo-sensitive products. Being able to take action based on concrete knowledge offers companies, particularly large pharmaceuticals, an opportunity to save millions of dollars resulting from compromised products or damaged reputation.

#Analytics can also be used for predictive and preventive measures, representing a revolution with respect to product quality as well as regulatory considerations: by keeping close track of #temperature variations, and catching excursions as quickly as possible, corrective actions can be applied fast enough to avoid potential product loss.

5?? Lower IT costs

A 麦肯锡 study suggests that data migration to the Cloud, for the pharmaceutical companies of their sample, could actually lead to a 9% to 19% increase in earnings thanks to both IT rejuvenation and business #innovation. Other studies show that adapting forecasted data storage implementations so that they correspond to real needs, along with streamlined #hardware maintenance, can result in up to 40% cost savings.

Conclusion

#datastorage on Cloud systems is clearly emerging as a key stake for #pharmaceutical companies. A supporting piece of the digital transition puzzle, Dickson ’s 24/7 temperature and humidity data logger solutions fit smoothly into modern Cloud computing structures. The company’s Cloud-based #software, #services, and web architecture help cross-functional processes work together seamlessly and effectively.

A comprehensive #dashboard and #reporting capabilities keep data at your fingertips, providing instant visual access to information. The dashboard displays all critical #monitoring information on a single screen; from which you can immediately address alerts and warnings, understand device performance over time, and much more. Dickson can help create customized, automated reports to reliably collect the data that matters most for your business needs.?
