GUILDFORD, United Kingdom — IDBS, the leading innovator in BioPharma Lifecycle Management (BPLM), announces its membership of BioPhorum. BioPhorum offers a space where biopharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers can come together and discuss the many challenges in the industry, working collaboratively to address them. IDBS has joined the Information Technology Phorum (BPIT) which specifically addresses IT business goals.

While the biopharmaceutical industry continues to develop therapies that improve outcomes in many disease areas, bringing these products to market is a complex process with significant challenges including costs and regulatory compliance. Digital technologies offer the potential to transform biopharma manufacturing and development, but adoption has been relatively slow compared to other industries.

Henry Charlton, Commercial Director for Biologics at IDBS, said: “Many companies are struggling to embrace the power of digital technologies at a time when increased efficiency, agility, and data driven insights can speed the development of new therapeutics and vaccines. Joining BPIT offers IDBS an opportunity to work collaboratively with other organizations to advance the industry’s use of digital technologies.”

Lauren Morgan at BioPhorum, said: “BioPhorum welcomes IDBS as a member of BPIT. IDBS’s expertise in data management across the R&D landscape will provide insight and a fresh perspective to our existing members. We look forward to the discussions it can bring to the table.”
