Outsourcing: Cloud Computing and Data Security

With the proliferation of many web based applications, blogs, social media sites, media sharing sites, and web-collaboration tools, much of today’s data resides on web servers. With this data architecture, information, materials, and media can be accessed from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Data can be gathered on demand, with limited usage and storage on hardware and software at the local level. This allows access from multiple people, and does not require everyone to have that piece of data on their personal computer. Can you imagine if everyone downloaded every YouTube video that was watched? There would be massive redundancy on everyones computer, but with cloud computing, every YouTube video simply resides on YouTube’s servers, and can be accessed from their website. While cloud computing has become a business success, it is important to address the information security concerns.

FIPNet Supported by Cloud Computing

My colleague Brian discussed the FIPNet model in his last post as a structure for drug development and as a model for allocating “core” and “non-core” competencies among various partners to assure that your business has best practices throughout the entire drug development lifecycle.

Today, I would like to talk about how “cloud computing” has accelerated and facilitated the viability of the FIPNet model.  If you have used Facebook, Linkedin, Salesforce, Google Apps. or other similar tools on the Internet, then you have used cloud computing.  “Cloud computing” in its broadest sense refers to the delivery of applications over the internet, which are accessed via a web browser; the data and software resides on remote servers.  At PhysioGenix, we have worked over the last year to move our IT infrastructure into the “cloud”.  This has created greater efficiencies, dramatically reduced costs and increased our delivery time of information to our clients.

Outsourcing: FIPNet becomes a Core Competency

As my colleague Greg discussed last week, Eli Lilly, like many other large pharmaceutical companies, has realized the importance of strategic partnerships from discovery to launch. Current market forces and outdated operating dynamics have forced large pharmaceutical companies to investigate “fully integrated pharmaceutical network” (FIPNets) as a way to gain best practices in non-core competencies. And while the pharmaceutical industry continues to determine the precise nature of an efficient FIPNet model, there is no doubt that strategic partnerships will play an ever-increasing role in drug development.
