Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are committed to discovery, development, production, and distribution of unique products including vaccines, prescription pharmaceuticals, over the counter medicines, and other wide ranging products designed to address unmet medical needs. These companies are equally committed to protecting the health of their employees and the people who buy their products as well as ensuring that their processes do not adversely affect the environment. Today’s pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies face unique EHS information management challenges stemming from numerous issues such as:
Centralized reporting needs from individual division, site and oftentimes regional and/or multinational operations;
Materials procurement and approval processes for research laboratories, which by nature have a need to bring a wide variety of unique materials on site, potentially creating ongoing chemical inventory challenges;
Permitting and compliance challenges for unique production operations and pilot plants;
Potential crossover of EHS information management needs within FDA validated applications.
There have also been significant mergers in this sector over the past decade, oftentimes resulting in multiple EHS business processes, EHS information management methodologies, and large numbers of disparate EHS software solutions supporting individual divisions or sites.
