Furthermore, the average cost of bringing a new drug to market is now <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/phrma-docs.phrma.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pdf\/rd_brochure_022307.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2.6 billion,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a 140% increase over the past ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, despite the skyrocketing investment, the average revenue per drug <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/doi\/10.1377\/hlthaff.2014.1029\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has been falling since 2010<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This downturn can be attributed to several factors, including fierce competition, an increasingly disrupted supply chain, rising payer influence, declining access to physicians, and a shift from primary care medications to specialty therapy areas. Declining average peak sales significantly limit the chances of maximizing returns from new launches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accelerating the launch of new drugs is a key strategy for counteracting this downtrend. Companies whose new drugs repeatedly outperform expectations are adept at beating their competitors to market and fully exploiting this first-to-market advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To better understand why speed to market is a competitive differentiator in pharma, consider the recent example of COVID-19 vaccines.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When COVID-19 rose to pandemic levels, Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna poured billions into accelerated R&amp;D programs that quickly established them as the top COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfam.org\/en\/press-releases\/pfizer-biontech-and-moderna-making-1000-profit-every-second-while-worlds-poorest\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the People&#8217;s Vaccine Alliance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna are making profits of $65,000 every minute from COVID-19 vaccine production.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, with its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-12-16\/pfizer-pfe-will-dominate-20-billion-covid-pill-market-in-2022-analysis-shows\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">newly launched COVID-19 pills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Pfizer is already set to dominate a new $20 billion market in 2022.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By achieving faster launches, Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna capitalized on the pressing need for a COVID vaccine and pre-emptively captured the market.

Modern collaboration tools can significantly bolster your ability to deliver the right product at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are five ways advanced collaboration tools can help your pharma company improve speed to market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Secure real-time information sharing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure information sharing is a critical requirement in pharmaceutical product research. However, companies using traditional collaboration tools often have to compromise usability and data flow in the name of enhancing security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best collaboration tools enable secure real-time information sharing, so every person involved in the development process has access to the latest data, insights, and information. By leveraging cloud computing, data syncing (ETL and <a href=\"https:\/\/hightouch.com\/blog\/reverse-etl\">reverse ETL<\/a>), and advanced security protocols, these solutions facilitate the real-time exchange of large data volumes across teams and geographies, accelerating decision-making and improving the chances of a timely launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Reliable remote collaboration<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since pharma teams are often dispersed across the country or even around the world, reliable distributed collaboration can be challenging to achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, top-range communication platforms offer a myriad of interaction options, including phone calls, messages, real-time conferencing, and virtual meetings, that keep your teams in sync regardless of their geographic location. That way, you can stay on track to launching on time, even when your team members are on opposite sides of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Enhanced data storage and real-time access<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed to market often depends on your ability to present timely information to the teams that need it, using the most convenient channels available. For instance, a single drug can have multiple routes of administration that necessitate different formulations and testing stages. In some cases, your testing stage might delay because of trouble accessing critical information from a third party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With collaboration tools offering robust data storage options and real-time access controls, you can give your team easy, secure, and flexible access to relevant data, regardless of their location.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Easy-to-use workflows<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharma companies often utilize different collaboration tools for specific purposes, such as CRM, legal review, and payroll management. Unfortunately, these tools are often so inflexible that they cannot integrate with other systems. As a result, teams waste significant time and effort working around system limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading cloud collaboration tools offer simple drag-and-drop workflows that let you easily create custom paths for different processes within one platform. That way, you can integrate collaboration into your entire content workflow process without having to waste valuable resources trying to make existing software play nice with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Seamless scalability<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a fast-moving organization requires tools that quickly scale up and down as your operations adapt to market dynamics. For example, the ability to expand your resources rapidly can be useful when you need to bring in additional team members to avoid costly delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, if your company uses different tools for specific projects or tasks, a platform that can easily open and close communication channels and accounts without affecting other processes allows you to adapt flexibly to market dynamics and reduce overhead expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best collaboration tools offer easy, responsive, automated scalability, enabling you to maintain complete control over your organization&#8217;s growth while minimizing the time and money wasted on cumbersome manual processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
