Abstract

The dream of digitalization starts with meticulous planning. Pharma companies must chart this journey keeping in mind all the stages and departments that need to be in place to realize the goal. There are tremendous benefits to digitalizing not just the lab, but also related departments. Digital data generates information that is truly useful, which can help in solid decision-making and increase the company’s potential. This exercise requires an integrated approach to quality. Pharma companies may start with QC but must gradually extend digitalization to the other related departments to create a strong foundation for enhanced quality.

Mr. Vipul Doshi, President – Global Corporate Quality takes us through the digitalization journey of Zydus Cadila, which lifted their operations to become one of the most respected pharma companies, with immense scalability and productivity capabilities.
