  • Business process and material/data flow mapping to identify areas for improvement
  • Business requirements analysis and documentation
  • Fit-Gap analysis of requirements to existing system capabilities

Build Your Digital Roadmap

Technology Selection

We provide independent advice and support to help you choose the right technology to support your business, including:

  • Business analysis and process mapping
  • Defining and prioritizing user requirements
  • Developing a robust, tangible business case for technology investment
  • Supporting the technology and vendor selection process

Technology selection starts with documenting detailed requirements linked to business use cases. Using our proprietary database of lab informatics technologies, we compile an initial list of those candidates with the best match to the requirements and coordinate initial demonstrations. The most promising suppliers are shortlisted to proceed to a Request for Proposal and in-depth, use-case driven, workshops to identify the preferred solution. We help you develop a tangible, quantifiable Return on Investment (ROI) analysis which forms the basis of a robust business case.

Data Strategy & Governance

Our Data Strategy & Governance methodology leverages our knowledge of existing industry data standards and related organizations (e.g. ISO, Allotrope, Pistoia, ISA-88 etc.) to ensure you have the best data platform to support your business.

Data governance can't just be solved by software, it requires long-term commitment and support across people, processes, and technology. Our approach involves:

  • Regular, clearly defined deliverables
  • Focus on business value and priority
  • Adaptable to different ways of working and project methodologies
  • Strong communication and guidance for business and IT
  • Awareness of change, and the impact on stakeholders

We help you identify key business entities and attributes within your organization (e.g. samples and their related properties), define and agree the related data standards/terminology, implement a governance model to maintain these and select and implement software/tools to manage these.

Technology Implementation & Configuration

To truly provide value, your research platforms and systems must be configured to firstly, support your organization's specific workflows, processes, and science; and secondly, to work in unison. ProPharma experts partner with you, taking the time to understand your requirements and needs, and then, in a holistic, software agnostic manner, implement the most optimal solutions accordingly. Backed with best-practice methodologies, as well as laboratory-based research experience, our team of experts will configure and implement each application your organization requires, and then ensure its optimal connection with the rest of your R&D ecosystem.

Validation, Quality & Compliance

Compliance isn't a checkbox, it’s our compass. Our experts ensure your projects align with industry standards and guidelines while keeping your unique needs and vision in sharp focus. From design to validation, we guide you through the entire lifecycle of business processes and technology solutions with emphasis on quality, compliance, and efficiency.

We specialize in seamless implementation of quality and technology solutions within the Life Science Industry. Our team have over 40 years’ experience across a wide spectrum of software solutions and hands on experience in GLP, GCP & GMP, Medical Devices, FDA, MHRA, EMA, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001.

On-going Support

The evolution and maturation of your science and operations does not stop once your research platform is implemented. Ensuring continual optimization of your systems and configuration of new applications and features can place time and personnel burdens onto an organization, especially if on-staff expertise is absent. ProPharma can provide on-going management services to supplement in this context.
