FPT IS discusses the “keys” to help pharmaceutical businesses enhance competitiveness
On July 7, Saigon Times, FPT Information System Corporation (FPT IS), and Intel have jointly organized a seminar themed “Digitalization in the Pharmaceutical sector – Urgent solutions to enhance competitiveness”, in order to discuss solutions to help pharmaceutical businesses optimize the production and business processes towards the goal of comprehensive digital transformation and sustainable development.
Delivering an opening speech, Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Oanh – Member of the Editorial Board, Chairman of Saigon Times – says: “Currently, many pharmaceutical businesses are facing difficulties adopting technologies to enhance production and business efficiency. Digital transformation in the pharmaceutical sector is no longer an intention or a desire, it is gradually becoming a “vital” factor if businesses wish to enhance their competitiveness and leap forward”.
During more than 25 years accompanying the healthcare sector, FPT IS has been cooperating with many pharmaceutical businesses in the journey towards Pharma 4.0 such as Boston Pharma, Bidiphar, Gonsa, Vemedim… Participating in the event, Mr. Phan Thanh Son – Chief Business Development Officer, FPT IS – has discussed the importance of digital transformation and 4.0 technologies in enhancing the capabilities of production, operation, and risk control in business activities.
Mr. Phan Thanh Son – Chief Business Development Officer, FPT IS – speaks at the event.
Besides, Mr. Tran Duc Trung – Senior Consultant in Smart Manufacturing, FPT IS – discusses 6 basic points to help businesses digitalize the production processes, and affirms: “The standards regarding production risk control and patient safety assurance are getting increasingly higher. Adopting 4.0 technologies into production processes will help reduce errors, increase reliability, optimize costs, and respond quickly to the demands and trends of the market”.
The speakers discuss the trends and solutions for digital transformation in the pharmaceutical sector.
At the seminar, Associate Professor, Doctor Le Van Truyen – Senior Pharmacologist, Former Deputy Minister of Health – argues that digital transformation in professional pharmaceutical distribution activities is a necessary and long-term direction to enhance competitive advantages as well as drug quality for better patients’ health. The pharmaceutical sector has many specialized management regulations that require strict compliance with the laws. Therefore, it is necessary to change and overcome the “fears”, otherwise businesses will be “left behind”.
For the transformation to be conducted effectively, leaders of pharmaceutical businesses need to set out clear strategies and roadmaps to enhance production capacity, customer access, sales, and number of loyal customers. Based on extensive experience drawn from approximately 30 years of establishment and operation, FPT IS is always ready to accompany pharmaceutical businesses to create breakthroughs with the power of technologies, thereby improving the quality of medical examination, treatment, and healthcare for the people.
