PwC helps pharmaceutical and life science business leaders overcome supply chain challenges

Across industries, businesses are facing the need to increase organisational agility, optimise supply chain management, and drive growth while remaining compliant. The pharmaceutical and life sciences sector is an example: over the last two years, the worldwide pandemic, supply chain disruptions, macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical tensions forced the industry to quickly increase technology adoption and to rely on superior scientific, commercial, and operational capabilities. 

Moving to a unified enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform allows pharmaceutical and life science businesses to streamline processes and integrate critical supply chain capabilities, among other benefits. In the recent PwC-sponsored IDC Spotlight titled ‘Unleash Growth in Midmarket Life Sciences Companies: Move to a Cloud-Based ERP Platform’ (October 2022, #US49749322), IDC analysts stated:

‘PwC's Digital Operations supports strategy through the deployment of a connected supply chain with key digital solutions built on Oracle Cloud. A digital supply chain represents a paradigm shift from functional silos to a more connected ecosystem and enables companies to integrate visibility with planning and execution across the end-to-end value chain.’

For Curtis Wilgosh, director of Cloud and Digital Practice at PwC US, PwC's innovative methodology combined with a business-led and technology-enabled approach helps implement digital business models, leading to a successful journey to the Cloud. 

‘PwC and Oracle work together to help our clients’ future proof their businesses. We build business innovation on the Oracle Cloud and help clients to change so that they can meet today’s demands and be ready for tomorrow,’ said Wilgosh.
