The Next-Generation Project Management-Software for Pharma
Innovation in Project Management for Pharma
Drive breakthrough innovations for patients: cplace helps pharmaceutical companies speed up drug discovery and improve efficiency in drug development.
cplace is an open, state-of-the-art software platform that meets even the most demanding requirements for today’s PPM systems. cplace is used by leading pharmaceutical companies like Roche to make their Project and Portfolio Management faster, more efficient, and more transparent – which translates to shorter time-to-market for their healthcare solutions. cplace gives research-based pharmaceutical companies more transparency into their investments, and more agility and speed in research and development.
Challenges holding pharmaceutical companies back
Companies face the challenge that existing PPM systems are often not user-friendly. This results in two separate planning worlds: political planning and real project planning. The latter often takes place in “shadow IT” (e.g., Excel), resulting in a complex software landscape. Employees struggle with outdated, difficult-to-use systems that make reporting time consuming and costly. The use of shadow IT compromises data quality, and the ongoing digitalization further amplifies the problem.
cplace eliminates these challenges, unifies planning worlds and optimizes data quality for efficient and user-friendly Project Management.
Benefits of cplace as Project Management Software for Pharma
Market approvals in less time
Companies need to focus on the most promising projects in their portfolio early on and make the right investment decisions. Only software with a consistent, up-to-date data basis can provide the required insights. cplace ensures transparency into the status of each molecule at relevant milestones by providing reliable and complete live data.
Increased efficiency
cplace helps to streamline business processes and eliminate unnecessary steps, saving time and reducing costs. By automating routine tasks and workflows, cplace can free up employees to focus on more strategic work.
Future-proof PPM software
cplace’s flexible and customizable platform allows companies to adjust their Project and Portfolio landscape quickly and easily in response to new challenges, opportunities, and regulatory requirements.
Instant reporting based on live data
cplace helps take the manual effort out of reporting. It supports users in aggregating live data from the system and preparing reports on single projects, portfolios, and programs for specific stakeholders at the push of a button. Reports can be exported in PowerPoint, Excel or Word format and may even include data from third-party systems.
Improved cooperation across the value chain
As R&D cooperation partnerships with CROs are gaining in importance, cplace – designed for company-wide collaborative work – offers a wide range of options for secure intercompany collaboration. It streamlines cooperation across the healthcare ecosystem to speed up and broaden access to healthcare solutions for people who need them.
Intuitive user interfaces
cplace is the type of software users love to use. It provides them with digital workspaces that cater for their individual needs while interconnecting them on the same database and platform. What is more, users don’t get overwhelmed by features they don’t need or use. cplace does not represent the smallest common denominator for the entire company but gives each user the perfect work environment they need while ensuring a well-maintained common data basis.
Challenges of Stakeholder Communication
Complex stakeholder interaction depends on the availability of transparent and reliable information at all times. Project teams require an overview of their project activities to be able to manage their projects, organize the team, and capture tasks and decisions. In addition, teams need to collaborate across functions and communicate with their stakeholders throughout the company. On the other hand, stakeholders require a realistic helicopter view to manage financials, coordinate supply, and keep track of portfolio success. All things considered, transparent and reliable information at any time is key to enabling successful collaboration.
Integration of Resource and Cost Management
cplace helps managers prepare high-level cost forecasts, detect deviations, and allocate the right resources to the right projects.
Software must be able to meet the unique needs of each team without having to compromise. Inflexible and complex standard solutions are often not capable of doing so, quickly overwhelm their users and are therefore doomed to failure.
