LEADERS IN SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION ARE
ADDRESSING CHALLENGES IN THEIR MARKETS
Innovating Faster
Long R&D cycles faced by Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies tend to inhibit rapid product development. Consumer
packaged goods and electronic companies require the agility to continuously bring new products to market to retain consumer
interest and maintain competitive advantage.
Competing More Effectively
Competition drives faster innovation to provide customers with new, better and more attractive products, or more cost-effective
products. Getting to market first with the right, quality product is demanding.
Addressing Price Pressures
Companies delivering differentiated products to emerging markets at affordable price points must reduce costs to remain
profitable. Organizations need to be innovative, constantly delivering quality products at lower costs.
Producing Environmentally Safe and Sustainable Products
The need to incorporate more expensive raw materials, reduce environmental impacts or produce more sustainable products can
increase manufacturing costs. Protecting nature through safer, more sustainable products and processes enhances life.
Operating Globally
Supporting global growth and demand requires that companies expand knowledge sharing globally, and expand research and
development locally while lowering the cost of production.
Protecting Intellectual Property
Managing intellectual property is emerging as a key activity impacting information access and collaboration. Innovative growing
companies need to share the right information with the right people at the right time. Intellectual property protection comes with
additional costs but, when combined with proper knowledge management, it supports better, faster innovation.
Meeting Regulatory Requirements
Regulatory compliance changes constantly and scrutiny is increasing. Companies need to feel confident that the systems they rely
on for their enterprise solutions are capable of meeting regulatory and compliance requirements.
To address these challenges and remain competitive, organizations need to deploy crossfunctional business processes that span the lifecycle of the product. Most importantly,
they need to drive innovation, reduce costs and improve quality.
ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES WE FACE
Profound and far reaching challenges are impacting the science-based
industries served by BIOVIA.
Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies confront increasing cost
pressures, expiring patents and declining R&D productivity as already long
product development cycles are further extended by sub-optimal processes.
Consumer Packaged Goods, Food and Beverage, Chemical, Electronics,
Manufacturing, Automotive and Aerospace companies must contend with
frequent changes in the availability of raw materials, the need for improved
process efficiencies to maintain price points and complexities arising from
combined chemical and biological processes.
Trends impacting all the industries we serve include rapidly growing global
markets with distinct local needs and preferences; increasingly complex
and interconnected value chains that stretch the resources of process
manufactures, and the rise of mobile cloud collaboration, social tools and
improved analytics. One thing never changes — the need to globally and
sustainably deliver high quality products that comply with increasingly
complex regulations.
MEETING BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
BIOVIA provides a scientific collaborative environment supporting advanced biological,
chemical and materials experiences. Leading companies around the world recognize
innovation improvements in these technology solutions from BIOVIA.
Unlocking the Information that Drives Innovation
Organizations need to know what they have done in the past to avoid repeating
errors and build on success. With BIOVIA, customers can leverage research from
previous experiments and avoid repeating thousands of tests and procedures. BIOVIA
solutions enable scientists to search, access, reuse and trace critical information and
data across multiple sites and globally dispersed organizations.
Investing in Predictive Science
From the design of new materials for the aerospace industry to the application
of personal health care in the pharmaceutical industry, predictive science is a key
enabler within design and decision making processes. Using BIOVIA to prequalify
candidates in silico saves time and money while increasing hit rates and options for
commercialization, reducing process cycle times and improving resource utilization
for both life and materials scientists.
Enabling Technology Transfer
Science-based organizations need to leverage experimental and operational data
generated along the product lifecycle. Quality and pilot plant data collected during
late-stage commercialization in BIOVIA can accelerate early product, process
and analytical method development by enabling better Quality by Design (QbD)
experiments based on real-world conditions, experience and insight.
Leveraging New Technologies
Secure cloud solutions, new mobile applications, social networking and Big Data
capabilities are lowering costs, improving performance, enhancing collaboration and
helping turn data into insight from discovery to commercialization. In the “Internet
of Things,” augmented reality and wearable devices like Google Glass are just a few
of the possibilities for obtaining timely information through embedded intelligence.
BIOVIA provides the technology infrastructure to support virtual workspaces in the
cloud, along with mobile applications that leverage social collaboration for accessing
and sharing information. We disrupt business as usual, creating opportunities for
organizations to innovate faster and better.
Ensuring Operational Excellence
Many organizations today are redesigning their organizational culture to improve
process efficiency and reduce costs. They are instituting approaches like Lean
Manufacturing and Six Sigma to lessen process and product variability, reduce manual
steps and errors and improve quality. In many cases, these improvements must
also extend to external collaborators and joint venture partners whose activities are
becoming increasingly integrated with those of sponsor organizations.
Harmonizing and Standardizing Processes and Interoperability.
Working with numerous disparate applications from different vendors can be
costly and burdensome for IT organizations with few resources. To keep total
costs low, BIOVIA technology is built on an open architecture that integrates with
other systems, processes and solutions. This open architecture and the breadth
of applications we offer across the entire product development lifecycle allows
organizations to standardize on fewer vendors by working with BIOVIA.
Collaborating Globally.
Innovation is a collaborative effort involving internal and external teams. Virtual teams
using BIOVIA can stay in touch, communicating the right information at the right
time quickly and securely — externally and internally.
Protecting Critical Intellectual Property
The true value of an organization resides not in the products it produces but in the
intellectual property underpinning the products. With BIOVIA, organizations can
protect their valuable Intellectual Property across the entire product lifecycle from
discovery to commercialization.
Meeting Regulatory Requirements
The US Food and Drug Administration, the US Environmental Protection Agency and
the European Union’s REACH chemical substances regulation are driving compliance
initiatives today. When processes fail, financially painful and brand-damaging product
recalls result. Regulated organizations and those working in Good Manufacturing
Practice environments are increasingly turning to BIOVIA solutions for defect tracking,
process compliance reporting, quality by design and continuous process verification to
improve productivity and reduce compliance deviations.
