The advantages of a cloud solution for the pharmaceutical industry

In today’s world of enterprise IT, there is a question that most of the companies are facing: Can the pharmaceutical industry use cloud solutions and guarantee the high-level requirements that regulators demand? What are the advantages of a cloud solution for the pharmaceutical industry?

Most of the companies use many different tools (ERPs, warehouse control, calibration management software, quality, QMS, LIMS, etc) to fulfil their IT needs and don’t consider a cloud solution as a first option because on-premises feels safer. IT departments prefer to be closer to the information they are keeping since, as far as they are concerned, they will have better control. The thing is, cloud environments provide the same guarantees as the pharmacy industry is demanding and even have some advantages which an on-premises solution can’t give.

Time and cost savings from a cloud solution for the pharmaceutical industry

A lot of IT departments overestimate their ability to provide reliable and fast softwares for the other departments (Production, Quality, Maintenance) which need a technical solution to manufacture faster and guarantee the security of the production. Decision makers might not be aware of the amount of time and cost an insecure or unreliable system can affect their operations.

Do I have the resources to provide a secured and regulated service?

Implementing a technical solution to manage the production and invest less time in manual procedures is vital for companies which are growing in the pharmacy industry. Besides, the COVID-19 crisis has exposed the need to access company information from outside their facilities to make the right decisions as soon as possible. However, the data center where the software is stored must comply with a Tier III design (maximum availability rate of 99.982%) and have to meet ISO27001 to ensure data integrity and security. Additionally, there is the need to comply with FDA and EMA regulations like 21 CFR Part 11 and EU cGMP Annex 11. All these regulations that the pharmaceutical industry must comply with can affect the quality of the product and the results of an audit.

It is when the IT departments have to make the decision to implement software of any kind when it must be taken into account if the resources available are enough to provide a fast and effective service. On the contrary, they can trust in a service that meets all the data security, integrity and availability requirements.

Why is a cloud platform good for environmental monitoring activities?

A cloud platform allows, above all, a very fast implementation of the system (from 3 to 6 months) and frees the different departments that will use it from worrying about the implementation or technical details. They can focus on what is really important, the adaptation of their processes to efficiently comply with the protocols that allow them to grow their business and ensure a correct environmental control of their products.

In short, SherpaPharma is a cloud-based solution for the pharmaceutical industry that saves time and costs, ensures production safety, relieves skilled personnel of repetitive tasks and complies with all the requirements and regulations of the pharmaceutical industry.
