Connecting people, technology, and data in new ways for real-time insights to improve business outcomes.
We live in a time when large and small life sciences companies around the globe are attempting to transform themselves with unprecedented new and emerging technologies. Organizations are striving to create more value than ever before for customers, employees, shareholders, and society at large.
At USDM, we work with digital technologies like cloud computing, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), purpose-built applications, mobile platform, and artificial intelligence (AI) to help reimagine modern enterprises to drive high-impact business outcomes at a lower cost.
Our Digital Transformation team combines business strategy, domain expertise, and new technology to develop innovative strategies in products, services, markets, and business models. We then translate these strategies into specific initiatives and projects that allow your business to deploy data, applications, technology, and capabilities through value-driven roadmaps that result in successful execution.
Why Digital Transformation is Important
The coronavirus pandemic accelerated digital transformation to unite people, business, and technology through the power of the cloud. Your success depends on how quickly and how well you harness this technology to enable your workforce to work from anywhere, build platforms that differentiate your company, and innovate faster than ever before. While the strategy and execution may seem overwhelming, USDM has helped hundreds of companies—just like yours—move from archaic, on-premises systems to cloud-first, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) compliant enterprises.
How USDM Helps with Digital Transformation Strategy
The foundational element of any digital transformation journey is foundational change to drive your desired results and USDM helps you to identify business initiatives that benefit from cloud and emerging technologies. The emphasis must be on using technology to transform your business, not just to add bells and whistles to existing processes.
- We can create a single, integrated, enterprise-wide view of your compliance risk for your pharmaceutical manufacturing company.
- We can help you achieve a cloud-first approach and build a seamless quality and compliance workflow for your startup.
- We’ve worked with medical device companies to enable deeper data analytics to predict critical events, and mitigate associated risks to ensure compliance, profitable growth, and a better customer experience.
IT Roadmap
We help build your value-driven roadmap with initiatives and projects that allow your enterprise to deploy data, applications, technologies, and capabilities. We start by assessing your business needs and your documented and informal processes and procedures. Next, we identify the necessary critical systems and document your business requirements. Then we help you to prioritize systems, develop timelines for implementation, and guide you through vendor selection.
Change Management
As change management experts, we will help you along the entire process of implementation, including organizational change management for your new software, building training materials and communication plans, and driving adoption of your new technology.
Program Management
USDM’s structured program management services help you to manage your project scope, scheduling, stakeholder communication, status reports, and budget. We can also drive technical project management, including system testing, configuration, validation, and escalation of technical issues.
