Cloud Computing Innovations for the Life Sciences Industry

Cloud Computing CRM implementations are reasonably new to the life sciences industry.  Here in an outline of  ways in which CRM and Cloud Computing have helped the life sciences industry to grow and evolve, and discusses how content management can help life sciences take the next big leap into cloud technology.

• Q. How do you see CRM and Cloud Computing as having evolved within the Life Sciences industry over the last 10 years?

A. Five years ago, there were literally zero cloud computing CRM implementations in the life sciences industry. The leading CRM systems were built on massive client/server platforms that, while effective at the time, had become too inflexible to support the rapidly changing needs of pharmaceutical companies of all sizes. Today, all new CRM deployments are in the cloud. Adoption of cloud technology has gone from 0 to 100% in five years…an unprecedented technology adoption cycle in any industry but especially for the life sciences industry. Even still, there are some technology providers that try to label their offerings as ‘in the cloud’ but true cloud-based systems today are multitenant – this is the key to achieving the well-known massive economies of scale that enable all of the signature cloud benefits like cost savings, flexibility, scalability, low-maintenance, fast implementation, and easy upgrades.
