Developing a Unified Enterprise Content Model

Speaker: Ann Rockley

Track: Keynote

Experience level: Advanced

Expiring patents, increasing shareholder and customer expectations, rising competition, and expanding regulations put pressure on Life Sciences’ firms to find effective ways to produce reliable content. Developing a repeatable process for creating, managing, and delivering content efficiently saves time and money, strengthens the bottom line, and builds a solid foundation for future growth.

Life Sciences organizations create huge amounts of content. They put a lot of time and effort into creating this content—both from a regulatory perspective, and from sales, marketing, and customer perspectives. Yet, much of the business critical content is locked away in silos. It does not provide maximum value to the organization because it is not easily discoverable, is hard to share, lacks consistency and structure, and costs much more to create than it should. It doesn’t have to be that way. Content can be aligned to business goals and strategies—even across silos—by adopting a unified enterprise content model.

Learn how companies in various regulated industries:

  • Manage content through the development, manufacture, approval and marketing of a product
  • Maximize intellectual capital while satisfying regulatory requirements
  • Reduce time to market
  • Address a global market

This session provides an understanding of a unified content model and identifies both the roadblocks and the reality of a common model. Topics include:

  • Understanding a unified content model
  • Steps required to achieve a unified content model
  • Roadblocks and realities of moving to a unified model
