Reading Time: 2 minutesCloud technologies have now become a must in the pharmaceutical industry. Leading life-sciences companies are discovering the potency of cloud data in enabling analytics, shrinking innovation cycles, and standardizing processes across global operations, among other benefits. For example, Moderna delivered its first clinical batch of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate to the US National Institutes of Health for Phase I trial only 42 days after the initial sequencing of the virus by using cloud technology.
In a post-pandemic world where one must always prepare for the inevitable change and disruption, all pharma companies must be equipped with data and analytical systems that are agile, scalable, and secure. Unfortunately, life sciences companies, which rely on old legacy database systems, face very significant management and security challenges as the volume of data grows. These legacy database systems make life sciences organizations incapable of attaining the data variety they need to improve business processes and make crucial decisions, inhibiting their ability to stay ahead of the competition.
Any life science organization thinking about its cloud journey must consider only the best. In order to get the most out of their cloud data to power their commercial operations, they need a robust, secure and scalable platform that can work in tandem with a powerful augmented intelligence solution that can enable decision insights at speed and scale.
The euphoric land of infinite scale, secure data, and limitless insights
Cloud brings phenomenal performance, speed, and flexibility to life science organizations. Data no longer needs to be stuck in silos, as the cloud can receive, analyze and democratize it in real-time. The ultimate euphoria for pharmaceutical and life science organizations is making the most of their data in the cloud and ultimately shortening the data to decisions journey to drive meaningful business outcomes.
Snowflake’s Data Cloud offers the power, scalability, and innovation that life sciences companies need to turn data into business-critical insights. Its modern and flexible architecture and secure infrastructure allow life sciences organizations to break data silos and discover, analyze, and generate value from data regardless of where it resides. This creates space for an integrated view of consistent data connections and insights across business ecosystems.
