Session 5: THE CHALLENGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING

Session Chair(s)

Kathleen Gniecko

IT Quality Management Services Head

F.Hoffmann-La Roche, Switzerland

These are challenging times for most pharmaceutical companies. The competiveness of the market place, loss of patents, increasing international regulatory requirements, and downward pressure on health care costs are just a few of the factors that are driving pharmaceutical companies to adopt strategies for cutting resources and costs. At the same time IT needs to support the challenges the businesses are facing and are being asked to deliver effective solutions while cutting costs without compromising quality, compliance, agility and flexibility. This has led to greater interest in Cloud Computing. The promises of cloud computing are certainly considerable: extremely fast and flexible solution delivery, on-demand scalability, high-demand business continuity services with easy solutions for backup and archiving. This session aims to look at the issues surrounding the adoption of such technologies and asks “Will cloud computing provide the capabilities and adoption levels while simultaneously meeting the regulatory compliance needs that are core to the Pharmaceutical sector?”
