Why a Pharma-defined Software Architecture Starts with GMP : If you don’t know what GMP is, you better ask … FAST

Session Abstract:

Phizzle CMO Ron Ricci and President Ed Lau will conduct a live interview on the strategic value of building process-led technology for the pharmaceutical sector – where regulation and breakthrough innovation must align to make IoT a reality. Between the two of them, Ron and Ed have over six decades of experience creating transformative technologies during notable tenures at companies such as Cisco and Audible. Both Ron and Ed are Phizzle board members as well. Good Manufacturing Practice touches every aspect of pharmaceutical process and regulation. In order to build a viable IOT solution for this heavily monitored space, technology companies have to build software architecture that puts process and data integrity before convenience. This isn’t a simple task and these two experts will explain how an awareness of GMP makes deploying new technologies exponentially smoother at large-scale pharmaceutical companies.
