Now, more than ever, IT departments are facing enormous challenges. In particular the life sciences industry, for example, with recent mergers & acquisitions and the complexity of systems and applications requiring a great deal of manpower; while still requiring top-rated expertise with minimal financial support.

To reduce this impact on IT departments, the fme group is offering a comprehensive package for the support of content-records management and shared collaboration environments based on negotiated Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

In a regulated environment, strict compliance with provisions and industry-specific guidelines is indispensable. Companies must also act cost-efficiently and coordinate different locations, some of which are global. In addition, they must react flexibly to tasks that often involve multiple departments and locations – with increasing complexity. If this does not happen, they will not be able to withstand the rapid changes in the life sciences industry and thus endanger their market position.

Efficient project management is therefore indispensable, especially in the life sciences industry. But many companies lack time resources or employees with the necessary project management skills and qualifications. We plan, coordinate, manage, monitor, and document your projects in a regulated environment: from an overarching program to individual projects.

Virtually every company possesses large volumes of data from various sources. Companies often organize this data using many different applications, technologies, and software solutions. When companies implement a system change or upgrade, they need to migrate their data and content to keep this information from getting lost and ensure that it can be used in a simpler, more effective way. However, without the right tools and processes, the costs of such a migration can easily exceed the actual hardware and software costs.

Over the past years, companies in the life sciences industry have invested a lot of time and money in production and quality management. As a result, complex system landscapes (including ERP, MES, CAPA, LIMS, and SCADA systems) emerged with a focus on business process mapping. Cross-system data analyses with real knowledge acquisition were not possible.

Business Intelligence analysis tools allow fast and easy access to various data sources and enables cross-system data analysis. Simple and independent analyses reveal methodical errors and are ideal for supporting ‘operational excellence’, ‘lean manufacturing’ and ‘PAT’ programs. Revalidation is not necessary since access to the qualified data is read-only.
