Key contracting
challenges for pharma
and life sciences companies

Typically, it takes about 12 years for a life sciences company to take a new drug from its lab to drug store shelves. The intervening period is dedicated to drug discovery, R&D, preclinical research, multiphase clinical and bridging trials, followed by regulatory and compliance review and post-market pharmacovigilance. This complete lifecycle of a new drug is underpinned by a global network of suppliers through which life sciences and pharma enterprises source everything – from basic excipients to clinical research support and cold chain logistics services. Relationships with these suppliers are governed by an extensive array of contracts. But pharma and life sciences enterprises cannot afford to lose precious time on administrative tasks related to contracts and procurement and delay the launch of life-saving drugs. Administration overhead is a real factor in drug price, which needs to be driven down to keep medicine accessible to all. In addition, the current set of legacy tools used to manage contracts are not calibrated to surface critical insights into risk elements which could lead to intellectual property leakage, delays in commercialization, or compliance failures.

"Sirion is one of the few contract management systems that can consistently demonstrate an ROI."
