It addresses siloed data and incompatible technologies that delay development and drive up costs, then links cloud capabilities to insights, efficiency, and speed—especially under COVID-19 pressures. Key metrics and adoption findings support a case for cloud-enabled digital transformation across the ecosystem.","The cloud imperative in life sciences  \nThe cloud imperative in life sciences  \nThe life sciences industry’s primary goal is to ensure vital treatments are discovered, made available and used effectively to improve  \npeople’s health outcomes, as efficiently as possible. Doing this involves an ecosystem with multiple organizations across geographies.  \nThanks to New Science1 – treatments that index high for scientific novelty, unmet need and technology convergence – this is happening with greater frequency to enable more precise, personalized treatments. However, this increased precision often means that the treatments are more complex and expensive to develop, and often reliant on a wide variety of data.  \nSiloed data and incompatible technologies cause delays and inefficiencies in bringing New Science to market. In order to speed the identification and development of these essential treatments and help manage the costs to do so, life sciences companies will need to find new ways to overcome these hurdles.  \nMoving to the cloud provides life sciences companies an opportunity to do so.  \nAccenture research indicates that New Science will represent 67% of growth in the life sciences industry from 2021-26.i This is up 54% from the previous forecasted period 2017-22.  \ni Accenture Research, August 2020  \nThe cloud imperative in life sciences  \n|  \n2  \nWhy cloud? Why now?  \nThe cloud is one of the most value-creating technologies of our time. It is the foundation for the digital transformation that is driving profound changes in how businesses operate, compete and create value for all their stakeholders.  \nIn 2019, Accenture analyzed 8,300 organizations to understand the relationship between technology adoption and business growth. The research assigned a tech adoption score to each company and found that the top 10% of companies (tech adoption “leaders”)– those companies that were 2.5 times more likely to adopt new technologies – grew revenue at more than twice the rate of the bottom 25%(“laggards”) .2 The same holds true in life sciences. Companies who are leading in New Science are investing six to seven times more in digital, data and genomics than their peers to develop more precise treatments and interventions that improve patient outcomes.3  \nAlmost overnight, the COVID-19 crisis widened this digital performance gap. Faced with the need to transform ways of working while accelerating therapies to market, life sciences companies are being challenged to drive  \nforward this kind of digital change during a crisis. A few leading life sciences companies had already started their digital transformations before the pandemic as there was an increased demand for cloudenabled capabilities such as digital biology, digital clinical trials and data science. As the crisis has unfolded, these leaders have further increased these investments while those who have not now have a much bigger challenge to address.  \nFor life sciences companies, the cloud’s virtue is not just about running a more streamlined business, lowering costs and computing on demand. It is about the ability to unlock data, collaborate better across the ecosystem, create more meaningful patient and healthcare provider engagement and transform their culture to embrace these new ways of working.  \nAll of this helps life sciences companies deliver more effective treatments to patients across the world in a more economically viable way. These are the imperatives that the ongoing health, economic and societal crisis demands.  \nThe cloud imperative in life sciences  \n|  \n3  \nA new  \ninflection  \npoint  \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has created a new inflection point that has given all life sciences companies the opportunity to realize the impact a move to the cloud can have on their business. Three capabilities – insights, efficiency and speed – are fundamental to the clouds enabling role in delivering on the growth promise of New Science:  \n• Insights: The Global Alliance for Genomics","cbCair3hKEJFtjxO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair3hKEJFtjxO","pdf",590125,1,16,"English","en",105,"# Why cloud?
