FEEDBACK & COMMENTARY FROM THE PULSE COMMUNITY

A Look Back at EOS18

Did you miss EOS18? Hearing lots about GDPR but still not sure what to do? We have answers for you. Listen to a live recording of the presentation given in Brussels on Outsourcing in the Days of GDPR by Punit Bhatia, Privacy and Protection Advisor and Author of Be Ready for GDPR: Let Us Check Your Readiness for General Data Protection Regulation.

Here’s what Bhatia had to say about the European conference in June: “I find IAOP events to have the right mix of content, new ideas and networking. Also, one gets to meet vendors. Having attended the Outsourcing World Summit a few years back, I attended EOS18 and I am glad to have made this choice. As always, the IAOP team is very engaging and takes personal care of each delegate.”

The Next Generation of Outsourcing

By Vishal Khanna

How collaborating for downstream commercial activities can drive value, agility and optimize business operations across the biopharma commercial organization.

In the coming years, biopharma companies will face increasing pressure, both financial and through the pace of technological change, to adopt commercial operations outsourcing to maintain competitive advantage.

 

For decades, all industry segments have taken advantage of outsourcing. By tapping the infrastructure and expertise of external partners, companies are able to cut time and cost from their production processes, optimize the business, and more rapidly adapt to shifting customer and market needs.
