A cloud-based digital business architecture to help life sciences companies break the legacy IT cycle and achieve their most pressing outcomes
Life sciences organizations find themselves handcuffed by the constraints of legacy systems and deep-rooted technologies that dramatically slow integration of the company’s data. And just when things seem to be progressing, a new wave of regulatory change requires another round of updates to applications and systems. With every added expense, organizations find it less possible to accelerate business velocity or create the kind of agile workforce that can unlock potential revenue.
A cloud-based digital business architecture can help life sciences companies break the legacy IT cycle and achieve their most pressing outcomes — streamlined business processes, faster innovation and speed to market, while containing costs, improving data security and maintaining compliance.
DXC Regulatory Managed Cloud Solutions are fully managed, compliant services for life sciences and associated industries that offer your organization a way to break the constraints imposed by outdated systems. They enable the rapid and cost-effective adoption of cloud-based solutions such as regulatory information management (RIM) and third-party applications, eliminating the need to strand investments in the on-premises IT estate. DXC Regulatory Managed Cloud Solutions deliver fully validated, secure, end-to-end environments — from the platform through the operating system and DXC’s software products.
Built on next-generation cloud infrastructure, our solutions ensure that you’ll have access to the resources you need with a flexible structure that eliminates the need to build excess capacity for occasional peak loads.
You’ll pay only for what you need, when you need it. Companies can use our as- a-service model, for example, to manage Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP), ensuring that usage and spend are based on actual need rather than on uncertain estimates and budgeting.
Our solutions also can be extended to include customer regulatory apps, enabling you to host non-DXC applications on the same cloud platform. This increases flexibility and offers regulatory compliance on a single platform.
The managed services offer complete support and maintenance for the entire solution. That means lower IT support costs and more time for your staff to spend on value-added, innovative initiatives. And because they’re built around good-practice quality guidelines and regulations (GxP), critical measures of security, compliance and data protection are built in and available to every application that runs on them.
Solutions are available for a range of DXC applications: FirstDoc® as a Service, FirstPoint as a Service, eCTDXPress as a Service, Publisher as a Service, Tracker as a Service, IDMP as a Service and Regulatory Apps as a Service (customer-owned third-party applications required to operate within a GxP environment).
Stream business processes and improve policy compliance
DXC Regulatory Managed Cloud Solutions provide RIM solutions and business process services to help companies manage complex regulatory environments and bring products to market faster. They can also help reduce administrative and operational costs.
Increased value and agility
A large pharmaceutical company was undergoing rapid global expansion and required a feature-rich product solution that would enable it to react quickly to new requirements and user growth. In less than 7 months, DXC provided an end-to-end integrated managed service solution in the cloud that allowed the business to concentrate on growth rather than infrastructure management. The customer began the project in 2012 and has already renewed the agreement based on the results realized. Outcomes included: alignment of business and IT, which improved collaboration, global reach and speed to market; reduced administrative costs; reduced risk; and maintained regulatory compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards.
Increased operational efficiency and productivity
Combining DXC's regulatory business automation software with our cloud managed services solution enabled a large pharmaceutical customer to process several submissions in multiple markets simultaneously. This is something the customer had never been able to achieve and has increased the global team’s speed and productivity. The service includes GxP management, simplifying the process of meeting compliance requirements.
Improved ROI
A large pharmaceutical company used the complete DXC Life Sciences solution set with DXC’s regulatory managed services to complete an internal ROI exercise. The results proved that the move to cloud provided a 20 percent financial improvement compared to running the systems on premises.
