Transform your R&D with Digital Innovation and Legacy Wisdom
Saravanan Ilangovan, Associate Director in ELANCO’s Clinical Operations
Elanco has been part of Eli Lilly’s animal health business for more than 50 years. When Elanco separated from Eli Lilly, the two companies also had to separate their businesses and data in a very short period of time. Despite these special business circumstances, Mr. Ilangovan will present a typical situation where the main goal is harmonization and standardization. This is a remarkable challenge, considering that structured and unstructured data have different formats and that legacy systems usually work in silos to begin with. Saravanan will share with us his company’s strategy to implement a “one-system” approach” while employees work without interruptions.

Human factor is key for successful implementation
Mr. Kamlesh Padiya, Director at SynVision Chem Pvt. Ltd
With nearly 20 years of experience implementing ELN and LIMS, Kamlesh will share his matured reflexions and conclusions about what prevents companies from getting the most out of these implementations. Everyone uses barcode reading in every store these days to capture and pay for merchandise. So what’s holding analysts, back at work, from realizing the full potential of an ELN ?
Change management, the mindset challenge, the cultural shift, the user interface … or the need to properly involve all business experts in defining the new digital processes and configuring the systems?
A deep analysis that Kamlesh will share with PLA2023India attendees to make them think and bring it to your teams.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Digitalization and the data life cycle begins at the lab bench instruments
In this workshop you will see how the use of current technology will improve the work environment – digital transformation.
Laboratory managers and operators routinely face challenges to adhere to data integrity regulations, while aiming at increasing workflow efficiency. Adding the technical controls to instruments improves business processes at the same time it adds the necessary controls for data governance.
Regulators are increasingly requiring labs to get current with technology (the "c" in CGMP). Regulatory guidance from WHO even advocates process efficiency with technology.
The benefits of managing data in a fully electronic process provides business benefits and regulatory compliance with data stored in one medium. You will see that even simple instruments (Balances, pH, KF, etc.) with digital/technical controls create efficiency, data control, and data that is ready for analytics.
