Keeping up with evolving needs calls for a more joined up approach
Dealing with regulated data and applying strict controls to comply with privacy and GxP regulations in an R&D context is nothing new to the pharmaceutical industry and broader life sciences sector.

The research presented in this document looks at the way in which information-related needs are evolving in life sciences, and how well systems are keeping pace with escalating demands.
