As pharma companies continue to scale up digital transformation processes, a survey by GlobalData has highlighted that teaming up with experienced external vendors is driving innovative technology implementation.
The leading data and analytics company notes that technologies such as 5G, IoT, sensors, blockchain, cloud and virtual/augmented reality were the top technologies for which pharma companies used external vendors, whereas they were more likely to develop artificial intelligence (AI), big data/analytics or robotics in house comparing to the rest of smart technologies.
IMPLEMENTING SMART TECHNOLOGIES INTO PHARMACEUTICAL PROCESSES REQUIRES FINANCIAL RESOURCES, TIME AND KNOWLEDGE.
The survey, which was published in GlobalData’s latest report, ‘Smart Pharma’, revealed that the majority of healthcare professionals would turn to external vendors to implement 5G to their processes, at 65% of respondents. This was followed by Blockchain at 55% and IoT and sensors at 50%. On the other hand, 28% of respondents would implement AI in house, followed by big data/analytics and robotics at 26% each.
Urte Jakimaviciute, Senior Director of Market Research at GlobalData, comments: “Implementing smart technologies into pharmaceutical processes requires substantial financial resources, time, and knowledge, especially since the speed of innovation is accelerating rapidly. As pharmaceutical companies continue to revamp their portfolios and digital transformation speeds up, partnering with technology providers becomes a natural step for the industry to take.
“Businesses are more likely to use external vendors to deploy technologies that are less widespread, have fewer use cases, or need to be implemented in short timeframes. While there is no way to slow down the digital transformation, a collaboration with external technology vendors may be a key to success.”
Jakimaviciute continues: “Partnering can enable not only faster adoption of the new technologies, but also bring substantial cost savings. External vendors tend to have specific domain knowledge, and are also fast to respond to any regulatory or compliance requirements that the pharmaceutical sector needs to adhere to.
“Pharma companies are already accustomed to working with external vendors to enhance processes in research and development (R&D), manufacturing and supply chain management. As the need to control the rising costs of pharmaceutical processes is becoming more pressing, leveraging smart technologies is expected to create more sustainable operational models and improve business agility. The companies that can optimize the processes faster are primed to succeed - this forces healthcare industry to pursue more open and collaborative approaches.”
In 2021, Boehringer Ingelheim signed a collaborative agreement with Google Quantum AI to implement quantum computing in pharma R&D; UCB and Microsoft announced a strategic collaboration to combine Microsoft's computational services, cloud, and artificial intelligence (AI) with UCB's drug discovery and development capabilities; Bristol Myers Squibb created a collaboration with Exscientia to use AI to accelerate the discovery.

Anvl announces today that their Connected Worker platform has surpassed the milestone of 10 million data points collected from frontline workers and supervisors. The easy-to-use mobile platform helps companies capture and unlock critical data from the workforce to drive continuous improvements in quality, safety and operations.
Anvl connects frontline workers and supervisors to make it easier for companies to detect and capture insights straight from the frontline at the earliest possible point. This data keeps management informed, and worker concerns can trigger alerts for escalation messages, helping organizations make better decisions in real-time based on valuable data from the workforce. Companies can then address issues faster, resulting in productivity improvements and reduced costs.
ANVL'S MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENT HIGHLIGHTS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR DATA COLLECTION TO CAPTURE INSIGHTS FROM FRONTLINE WORKERS
Anvl connects frontline workers and supervisors to make it easier for companies to detect and capture insights straight from the frontline at the earliest possible point. This data keeps management informed, and worker concerns can trigger alerts for escalation messages, helping organizations make better decisions in real-time based on valuable data from the workforce. Companies can then address issues faster, resulting in productivity improvements and reduced costs.
“Fast-tracking digital transformation for our Safety Programs is a key initiative for us and we've been able to achieve that goal with Anvl, “said Cliff Gibson, Senior Manager Safety, Exelon Corporate Safety and Environmental Sustainability. “Our Behavior-Based Safety process was rolled out with Anvl in one of our divisions within a couple of months, and we immediately saw high engagement from users who had only used paper processes before.”
The capability to consolidate multiple processes into one platform within Anvl allows workers to be more effective and efficient compared to the myriad of applications, forms and spreadsheets often used today. With nearly 60% of the workforce disengaged with their work, Anvl helps drive business performance by providing a solution that frontline workers and their supervisors will actually use. Anvl routinely sees a user engagement rate of over 90% across a broad demographic and range of technology skills and has collected over a million distinct processes and photos and over 46,000 triggered interventions and stopped jobs.
“Because of the positive adoption of Anvl by our frontline and the data insights we now have for safety professionals and line leaders,” continued Gibson, “we've also rolled out a Hot Work Permit and we'll soon roll out additional Inspection processes. It's exciting to see the speed of change and leading data insights that we can achieve in partnering with the Anvl team.”
This milestone comes at a time when Anvl is expanding its platform. While real-time escalations and alerts have been part of the core features of the software platform from day one, the team recently augmented these features with In-App Messaging and Distributed Push Reports with additional features in the works.
“Finding new ways to drive quality, operational and safety improvements and keep workers connected is a top focus for many businesses, especially after the challenges that emerged from the past year, '' said Robin Fleming, CEO and Co-founder of Anvl. “This means leaders are looking for solutions like Anvl that go beyond a technology pilot and can make a direct, positive impact to worker engagement and the bottom line. I’m thrilled that we can help our customers go from concept to value in record time,” continued Fleming.

In this new article for Field Service News, Marc Tatarsky, SVP of Marketing at FieldAware, discusses what organizations in the field service sector should expect as the world gradually reopens for business.
In this new article for Field Service News, Marc Tatarsky, SVP of Marketing at FieldAware, discusses what organizations in the field service sector should expect as the world gradually reopens for business.
As we enter just past the halfway point of 2021, it feels as though the trials and tribulations of the last 24 months are finally working their way into the rearview mirror. While the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t entirely behind us, much of the world is indeed getting back to a new normal of operating, and the global economy is kicking back in. With the global vaccination rate reaching over a majority of the population in many countries (well over 50% and rising), summer vacations are starting to kick in. Airlines are adding flights, global business events are beginning to go back on the calendar, and many businesses are re-evaluating their office policies.There is no doubt that the ramifications of COVID-19 are still being felt. Some of the effects of a paused global supply chain are still creeping up in many unanticipated areas – chip manufacturing shortages, surging lumber prices, and even a national chicken wing shortage in the US. But as the dust begins to settle and we analyze some of the lasting repercussions from our survival responses to COVID-19, several unique business model implications have risen to the top. For example, within the service management sector, one lasting transformation has been the consumerization of the end-to-end service experience.
THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THE PANDEMIC WILL STILL AFFECT THE FIELD SERVICE SECTOR AS COMPANIES QUICKLY TRY TO ADAPT TO THE "NEW NORMAL"
Something interesting happened when the service industry was forced to deal with the global pandemic. A blurring of B2B and B2C customer experience (CX) expectations occurred. New biosecurity requirements forced many field service organizations to adopt new processes and technology quickly. They needed to fulfill requirements to be accountable for the timing and biosecurity of their dispatched resources. In addition, businesses and employees of all levels were exposed to the art of the possible in their personal customer experiences regarding home deliveries, food services, and other remotely delivered services. The patience for working with an organization that doesn’t take a 360-degree view of customer experience is waning.
Businesses expect the same level of service and data continuity for their business interactions as they do with their consumer interactions. Consumer industry giants like Amazon, Uber, and Netflix are leading the way. Raising the bar of expectations for what customer satisfaction and customer experience can be for all businesses resulting in elevated expectations for understanding past and future service history à la Netflix and point-to-point transparency and status monitoring à la Uber as well as a true 360-degree buyer experience à la Amazon. Businesses expect their B2B interactions to incorporate many of these consumer experiences and have increasing demands for a truly transparent customer experience.
"One of the most critical elements of any modern field service management system is interconnectivity and data transparency across various systems of record."
Field service organizations raced to adopt new processes and technologies to accommodate expanded service delivery requirements as part of their required response to COVID protocols. However, many of these efforts were rushed into production, leaving the overall customer experience somewhat flat. Now that the new normal operations are stabilizing, advanced service organizations are taking a closer look at their execution models and identifying necessary enhancements and optimizations to deliver the customer experience anticipated. They know the patience for adapting to and getting the workflows right has shortened, and B2B expectations have risen.
One of the most critical elements of any modern field service management system is interconnectivity and data transparency across various systems of record. With the rising consumerism of the service experience, customer data, history, and the workflows associated with field activities must be thoroughly interconnected and transparent. It is not sufficient to have a closed-loop field service workflow. The workflows must interact and leverage data and insights across the organization to enable a seamless 360-degree customer experience.
While this sounds intuitive, many single-vendor solutions lack the functionality or easy connectivity to accomplish this task without significant customization and professional services investment. A best-of-breed approach can often offer better ROI and additional functional advantages by providing unconflicted integration, improved specialized usability, and scale. This flexibility and robust field service-specific capabilities help meet the changing needs and requirements of the service organization – now and in the future.Many field service segments are bracing for a surge in demand and must be agile to respond. For example, infrastructure service organizations such as renewable energy must not only contend with macro demand pressures created by a global sustainability push but, in the US, a looming federal infrastructure mandate. As both sides of the aisle start to come together to work through the pressing infrastructure challenges in the US, it appears a significant, albeit slimmed down, infrastructure bill is gaining support. This new federal legislation, combined with the global focus on sustainability and reduced carbon emissions, has set the stage for the next wave of demand in a segment that had raised customer experience expectations accelerated by COVID-19 activities. This surge in demand and hyper-focus may create a new mini “crisis” in the supporting field service management activities. Leading vendors in the segments impacted by this surge (and similar surges) will need to closely evaluate their service delivery model to ensure they can deliver on the rising expectations and capitalize on the boom in demand.

While 5G is being widely deployed on a global basis, we haven’t even begun to see the full potential of this technology, according to GlobalData.
While 5G is being widely deployed on a global basis, we haven’t even begun to see the full potential of this technology, according to GlobalData.
The leading data and analytics company notes that 5G is yet to make a significant mark in terms of the faster data speeds, latency and other hallmarks that will enable advanced features such as self-driving cars and immerse gaming. However, more advanced telecom bundles are appearing, and GlobalData expects 5G subscriptions to increase as more powerful applications come through.
THERE WILL BE 3.9 BILLION 5G MOBILE SUBSCRIPTIONS GLOBALLY BY THE END OF 2026, WITH WORLDWIDE SERVICE REVENUES EXPECTED TO HIT $609BN
Lynnette Luna, Principal Analyst with GlobalData, comments: “Although we have not yet seen all that 5G is capable of in early deployments, the technology has a multitude of future opportunities for telecom operators. Not only will capacity bring down the per-bit cost for carriers, the basic cost efficiencies that 5G brings will enable operators and developers alike to create new applications for the technology as it becomes to mature and develop.
“This growing innovation will contribute to an expected rise in 5G mobile subscriptions worldwide. At the end of 2026, GlobalData predicts there will be 3.9 billion such subscriptions, representing a whole 35.1% of total subscriptions. Global 5G service revenues will total $609bn.”
Some revenue-generating strategies seen in the US and Europe on 4G networks also resonate on 5G networks. Within the US postpaid wireless market in particular, operators have always enticed users to sign up for premium plans through service bundles, such as video streaming and gaming.
Luna adds: “5G ARPU in 2026 is expected by GlobalData to greatly outpace that of earlier technology generations, with 5G bringing in monthly ARPU of $14.15 per month versus 4G’s monthly ARPU of $5.48.”
In some markets, we are beginning to see more advanced bundles marketed with 5G. Vodafone is in the process of rolling out Nreal smart glasses in its 5G markets across Europe, offering an interest-free hardware bundle and an app called Vodafone 5G Reality AR. In addition, a number of 5G operators are beginning to sell cloud gaming services. Telia in Sweden and EE in the UK are selling Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate memberships that include cloud gaming. Telia customers can also buy a dedicated cloud gaming promotion featuring an Android phone, Telia plan and a free Razer Kishi universal Android controller and the Xbox Game Pass in one bundle.”
Luna concludes: “Operators will continually improve their bundles with new 5G features. Eventually they will take advantage of ultra-low latency and consistent gigabit data speeds.”

Business leaders are leaning into data-centric decision making as a way to move beyond simply tracking KPIs and determine if their services are actually providing customers with value. With the help of smart tools, you can depend less on instincts and theories, and use methods backed by actual insights to propel your business forward.
How do you know if you need a better way to analyze your business’ big picture? Start by taking a look at the way you currently measure customer value.
"If you currently lack the insight to draw specific conclusions,
it’s time to dig deeper into your data."
If you currently lack the insight to draw specific conclusions, it’s time to dig deeper into your data. To understand the root causes of issues, it’s essential to have the ability to look deeply into metrics — which is where AI becomes a powerful tool to have in your arsenal.
As AI absorbs and analyzes your data, it can provide predictive analytics that help you understand your customers’ behavior. AI provides deep insights and steers the decision-making process, becoming a mighty ally in the quest to maximize customer satisfaction and improve operations.
Ask Yourself:
-
How often does my organization receive customer feedback?
-
If a customer churned tomorrow, would we know why?
-
How do we currently prevent service disasters before they happen?
-
Does our company leverage tech to gain immediate customer feedback on services?
-
Are we using data to analyze the way our customers consume products?
Informed Decisions Lead to More Certain Outcomes
At its finest, AI opens new possibilities, giving you the power to make accurate decisions based on concrete data — not hypotheticals. It goes beyond showing you today’s metrics, guiding you and helping you understand all data relative to your goal. Seasoned business leaders know that while metrics may “unexpectedly” dip or miss the mark, there’s always a reason as to why. Instead of panicking, making assumptions, or instating ineffective countermeasures, it is far more accurate to look at the bigger picture to determine how you arrived at the final outcome.
With AI-powered insights, you become the driver and you control the truthful narrative. It’s time to get ahead of NPS, which offer an incomplete look at your business. If you want to strengthen your customer relationships and get an accurate measure of customer satisfaction, AI can help.
Be proactive instead of reactive. For instance, if your AI tool indicates a few less-than-ideal service moments, you can initiate communication with your customers instead of waiting for feedback to come your way. You can also proactively address customer dissatisfaction before waiting anxiously for the inevitable heated phone call, and you can take the opportunity to tell them what actions you’re taking to rectify the issues. On the other side of the coin, if you notice that your service performance is stellar, you can use that occasion to remind your customers why you’re the choice provider, which may even lead to some awesome upselling opportunities.
Clients and potential customers value transparency more than ever, and AI can bolster your ability to communicate. They will start seeing you as a trusted partner in business — a leader that’s fully vested in their success.
Conclusion
With Aquant’s Service Insights, organizations go beyond visualization and enter the realm of action. Unlike traditional BI tools, our products empower teams to solve their business problems by helping them to quickly analyze disparate data and get clear directions on what to do next.
Actionable feedback shows you what information is most relevant and helps direct you to make the right calls for your business. You can easily identify at-risk customers and address your service issues in real time — without the need for an on-site team of data scientists.
Backed by data from more than five million service tickets from manufacturers and service providers, Service Insights generates trends, industry benchmarks, and predictions that fit the context of your business.
You can also tap into hidden data to make more holistic decisions, and share insights and overviews that identify key statistics and important trends.
The best decisions are made with a 360-degree view, and traditional reporting is no longer enough. The decision to adopt AI is a big one, but it’s a tool that can change the trajectory of your business.
