cplace in Life Science

The pharmaceutical company’s R&D division is tasked with making sure that the development process for a new drug, from the initial scientific findings through to the delivery of the drug to the patient, is as effective as possible. Planning this process across multiple projects, including optimum utilization of personnel and budgetary resources, is a challenge the company’s previous project management system was unable to support efficiently.

A market-leading pharmaceutical company replaced its corporate legacy project and portfolio management system with cplace. The objective was to provide relevant and transparent project and portfolio information on a centralized platform. Within as little as 20 days, a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) was developed and subsequently tested and further optimized by project members and other stakeholders. Fragmented information from a variety of sources was migrated to cplace to form a ‘Single Source of Truth’ and is now available everywhere in the company as a centralized data basis for managing multiple projects. This facilitates true collaboration within and across projects. The company is now developing new components for timeline and resource planning.
