  28. BUSINESS CHALLENGES AT FOREST Business process improvements at Forest Research Institute (FRI) • Advanced methods needed to handle R & D process associated with required regulatory submissions • Need to convert mountains of clinical data into meaningful information • Need to implement collaborative work practices for better business prospects • Increased needs to Digitize, Manage, Secure, Share, Utilize and Publish intellectual assets effectively for business growth • Streamline the often time-consuming internal audit process. • Need to effectively handle huge amount of documents especially R&D related contents. Mr. Perry Venugopal, Assistant Director, INFORMATICS - FRI

  35. FOREST-SAP ENTERPRISE PORTAL Mr. Brian Bilyeu, Senior Manager, SAP- Business operations, Mr. Lawrence Bua, Senior Manager, IT - Operations

  36. FRI R&D Process Improvements after the DOCUMENTUM implementation • Better version control management of Forest’s intellectual assets • Introduced collaboration work practices both internally and externally with its research partners and co-marketers. • Eliminated the internal research audits required for demonstrating compliance with FDA regulations. • Re-use the same content wherever appropriate (ie: NDA (US) vs. CTD (Europe/Japan) – same content- different presentation • Rapid seamless access to the information enables FOREST to make GO/NO-GO decisions at the early stage of the product life-cycle Mr. Perry Venugopal, Assistant Director, INFORMATICS – FRI, http://www.documentum.com/industry/life_sciences/research/index.htm

  37. Potential Business problems that can be avoided • 50% of R & D expenses are during the clinical development phase. • 7 million pages per year of clinical studies content to be managed. • Each day late for the drug arrival to the market equals $1 million dollar in lost revenue. • A missed paper-work with FDA or an outdated information to FDA during the New drug submission process can potentially delay the FDA approval process by SIX MONTHS. http://www.documentum.com/industry/life_sciences/research/index.htm
