Pharmaceuticals

Current Situation:

  • Expiring patents and terms of protection
  • Falling prices for generic drugs as well make saving a necessity
  • High research and development costs due to the pressure to innovate
  • Increasingly shorter commercialiization
  • Compliance with extremely comprehensive and strict workflows
  • Legal requirements necessitate the ability to track changes and record use  (i.e. in the case of package inserts)
  • Multiple languages and different local legal requirements
  • Reproduction of barcodes
  • Patients are becoming an increasingly important target group
  • FDA compliance requirements make high demands on the validation of  IT systems and processes.


Despite mergers and cooperation the pharmaceuticals market remains highly competitive. The cost of research and development is high whereas the profit margin is constantly falling due to price wars and expiring patent terms. The development of innovative marketing concepts and the use of effective marketing processes are becoming critical success factors in the pharmaceuticals industry.
