How to safeguard global pharmaceutical supply chains

Big pharma is tapping the cloud to address its supply chain woes, but challenges remain. First, there is often a disconnect between leadership and the teams deploying the solution. And due to strict compliance and regulatory standards, IT may be less than keen on investing in a third-party provider. Additionally, there are numerous architectures and micro-services to choose from, intimidating those without dedicated resources to execute digital solutions or significant cash flow to invest in all-in-one platforms.

However, it’s a chicken or the egg situation. Pharmacy supply chains have a mandate to comply with The Drug Quality and Security Act by 2023 — attaching individual identifiers to all medications, which must be securely stored and accessible to everyone. In this article, I’ll detail cloud-based investments you can make today to maintain compliance as well as reap faster ROI at different levels of your technology stack.
