Going from craftmanship to data management: Mastering data from A to Z

The importance of data management cannot be underestimated. It influences everything. No reinventing the wheel anymore. If you can ensure data integrity throughout all processes, efficiency in research and development will increase. You’ll be able to link laboratory data with regulatory affairs, medical writing, data coming from manufacturing and much more. It will be a single flow of data all the way from research to post-marketing. If you can master the data from A to Z you’ll increase your speed and efficiency. And time is money in the Life Science industry.

Currently, there is a lot of craftmanship in the industry. That, together with a high level of regulation, creates a kind of inertia for change. Also, the industry’s core business is to develop new drugs and treatments, not doing data management. However, gradually Life Sciences will become a data-driven domain embracing Smart Industry principles. New technologies and processes will be implemented. Not least new ways of data collection, data management and data cleansing.
