Understanding the customer better than competition is a strategic imperative for companies in the Life Sciences industry today. With the ever-increasing competition for doctors' time and the cost of Medical Representative Calls, the pressure to obtain ROI on each Rep Call is very high. A high quality centralized customer repository is a cornerstone for achieving competitive advantage in today's challenging pharmaceutical market.
 
While the SFA/CRM applications used by life sciences companies are mature, inadequate customer repositories become bottlenecks in their complete utilization. Companies are plagued with multiple customer databases with a questionable degree of quality. Leading organizations are now moving towards the central Enterprise Customer Repository, the central place that holds the best available information about all their customers.
 
Cognizant has helped address this challenge with Enterprise Customer Repository (ECR), which is a HIPAA compliant system that can also be utilized to store a database of doctors, para-medical staff, patients, nursing homes, hospitals, insurance companies, distributors, and retailers in a single system. Solution benefits include:
 
  • Centralizes all information about customers and other entities
  • Guarantees consistent quality through built-in quality processes
  • Integrates with business processes through workflow automation and other tools, such as integrated alignment systems and CRM systems
  • Aligns healthcare professionals with sales representatives based on both geographical and non-geographical alignment
  • Distributes customer information efficiently and speedily to all potential users through state-of-the-art EAI architecture with appropriate 'publish and subscribe' technologies
 
With extensive domain, technology, and business process expertise in the Healthcare and Life Sciences industry, Cognizant is the preferred partner for several pharmaceutical companies.
