Content Strategy for Pharma: Spend Time on Research, not on Redundant Content

We can no longer afford the costs of traditional, document-based content management in the pharmaceutical industry. We need pharma companies to prioritize content reuse and automation rather than manual, error-prone legacy processes.

Solving Pharma Content Challenges

In The Unique Challenges of Pharma Content, we discuss challenges faced by pharmaceutical companies in the creation and management of content.

The Pharma Content Evolution: Content Reuse and Automation

To help create safe, effective medicines in less time, you must change how you “do” content. You need to harness the power of content reuse and automation.

Medical device manufacturers have known about the new regulations for years and have been working to meet these new, more stringent standards.

Is Structured Content Ready for Pharma?

I’ve had more than one conversation over the past several years about whether pharmaceutical companies were “ready” for structured content. After all, many of the benefits of structured content roll up into one key business need: scale. And scale — the ability to produce a lot of content quickly, accurately,
