So too are the research and development and FDA approval processes. There is much risk with biotech investment. Failed development, approval, or commercialization can ruin a fledgling business and put a serious crimp in even more solidified companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the risks, it is challenging for private biotechs to obtain financing. It takes a certain type of firm to analyze the risks appropriately and to confidently put millions of dollars into a business or a product. Yet, without funding, it is difficult for biotechs to acquire the necessary facilities, equipment, and people to ensure quality, efficient production processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is funding difficult to acquire, but doing so can take a lot of time, meetings, and persuasion. Private investors spend a lot of time analyzing risks and discussing potential investments. The back-and-forth between the biotech firm and the investor can add to delays in research, development, and production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the ways to remediate these financing challenges is to expedite the communications process with investors. As opposed to face-to-face meetings, or as a means of intermittent conversations, biotechs can utilize <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/industry-solutions\/life-sciences.html\"><b>unified communications systems (UCS)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A UCS enables fast, reliable, and consistent interactions across all popular modes of interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Stringent\"><\/a>Challenge 2: Stringent FDA requirements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it were just a matter of \u201cmaking something,\u201d biotech production may not suffer as much from delays, inefficiency, and waste. However, in the health and life sciences field, federal regulations and the FDA have strict requirements as to how you make your products and the end results. For these reasons, biotech production is notoriously slow. This factor contributes to the aforementioned uncertainty of investors, who often prefer faster paydays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To meet FDA requirements and ensure public safety, biotechs generally have more aggressive quality control and quality assurance processes relative to companies in other industries. Quality assurance processes are preventative measures to increase the rate of quality products. Quality control is processes used to identify products that aren\u2019t up to standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, biotechs can\u2019t and don\u2019t want to cut corners on quality processes. However, there are steps to take that could improve production efficiency without sacrificing quality. The following are some examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Automation.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Producers across many industries are focused on automation to speed up various production and ancillary processes. Analytics programs are used to detect product discrepancies earlier in the process. Adjustments are often automated to eliminate the need for manual interventions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Internal collaboration.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Better collaboration between production managers, quality control experts, and quality assurance experts can expedite planning and response timelines. Again, a unified communications system enables fast and flexible interactions among leaders in these areas, including planned meetings and impromptu interactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>External collaboration.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Similarly, biotech producers need the capacity to interact efficiently with FDA representatives to address any concerns during approval and production processes. Collaboration with industry partners is critical as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52715\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/biotech-internal.jpeg\" alt=\"The internal lab within a biotech company\" width=\"930\" height=\"620\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Supply\"><\/a>Challenge 3: Supply chain uncertainty and risk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most significant obstacles to biotech producers is something that is largely out of their hands. Biotechs rely heavily on a consistent and flexible supply of raw materials needed for production. However, there are sometimes factors that adversely impact the ability of channel partners to meet these expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic, for instance, created major disruptions to many transportation systems that biotechs rely on to get raw materials in a timely manner. Delays in raw material supply lead to subsequent disruptions to production processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than just reacting to adverse circumstances, many biotech producers have gone on the offensive to gain more visibility into their supply chains. Artificial intelligence software is used to identify potential industry bottlenecks. Assessments of materials requirements among competitors also offers some insight into potential supply shortages. Identifying potential disruptions to transportation methods early also allows for faster adjustments to alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Producers can only do so much on their own to prepare for supply chain issues. Close relationships with channel partners are essential to an effective, collaborative strategy. This is another relationship where a UCS becomes invaluable for agile and efficient interactions. Suppliers can quickly and easily contact producers as soon as issues develop. Producers can similarly reach out to supplier reps at the first sign of trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Limited\"><\/a>Challenge 4: Limited industry experts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire life sciences sector has been hampered by a lack of industry experts. A limited talent pool makes it harder to implement any of the other strategies discussed for resolving production issues. In addition to concerns about available talent, employed experts are so burdened with their workload, that it is harder to keep up with industry trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Producers face a double-edged dilemma. They must invest in attracting experts in a limited pool, but they must also invest in training to keep current employees up-to-date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased reliance on automation can help reduce the talent burden. Thus, producers need to consider whether to amplify investment in modern technology, including foundational communications systems, or more people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"RingCentral\"><\/a>RingCentral solves biotech bottlenecks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much of the burden on biotech producers can be managed more effectively through supply chain collaboration.
