Pharmaceuticals

With their business model straining to operate at scale, pharma IT leaders are challenged to do two things at once: improve the efficiency of IT and use it to drive business innovation. The industry as a whole is stressed by the possibility of price controls, declining drug-development productivity (higher costs, fewer drugs), stricter regulatory scrutiny, and competition from a growing number of "me-too" drugs. IT is critical to meeting these challenges.

LineBeyond develops solutions that concentrate on streamlining and standardizing pharma operations, focusing on procurement and manufacturing as well as on back-office functions such as finance, human resources, and production facilities. In addition, LineBeyond offers services and technology for business innovation that enables pharma companies to improve data collection, speed up regulatory reporting, manage the progress of clinical projects, and improve the use of physician marketing programs.
