    3/14White Paper

    Evolutions continue to spur innovation in 2012. This year,companies have watched the abric o the pharma business

    model being recongured beore their eyes. Facing numerous

    patent expirations, companies have delivered a prolic year

    or R&D innovations, but in many cases, revenue rom current

    pipelines will not create enough value to supplant losses. As

    a result, companies are streamlining business models and

    maximizing interactions by leveraging a deeper ocus on

    next generation technology and holistic operational changes

    centered on a higher level o eciency.

    With the ground shiting beneath their eet, how exactlyare companies innovating beyond current challenges in

    the lie sciences industry? Through the eyes o leading

    pharmaceutical, biotech and generic companies, what are

    the dened challenges o 2012? How does the industry and

    market evolution shape decision making regarding innovation,

    investment and budget?

    Cegedim Relationship Management has undertaken its third

    annual survey o lie sciences proessionals in the United

    States to provide a real-time snapshot o this years trends.

    Composed o the industrys most relevant voices, this thoughtleadership report highlights pivotal developments, current

    strategies and technology trends. By drawing analysis rom

    three consecutive years o responses, the report discovers

    underlying patterns and richer insights to deliver a more

    complete image o industry perceptions.

    This year reveals distinct concerns with the fux o the current

    commercial model and reinorces the support or digital

    solutions. Nearly three-ourths (74%) o respondents point

    to the changing commercial business model as the biggest

    issue keeping them up at night. As traditional channels ointeraction experience irrevocable change, respondents are

    articulating how and where this market change is taking shape

    within their own companies.

    Critically, the most selected business model/process change

    cited by respondents is an increased ocus on market access

    strategies (64%). The third annual survey report provides

    critical insights into how companies are adapting strategies

    to account or the tectonic market shits and the wideningavailability o game-changing technology. Companies continue

    to voice the growing pains o change and are utilizing tablets

    mobile platorms and social media more than ever beore.

    Key Findings

    The ormidable issues o concern remain constant rom 2011

    to 2012, especially the evolution o the current business

    model which holds ast as the primary concern.

    Based on a scale rom one to ve, nearly three-ourths

    (74%) o respondents ranked the changing commercia

    Introduction

    An entirely new set o metrics will determine growth or

    pharma. 2012 is marked by challenges such as healthcare

    reorm, shiting product value, pricing, reimbursement, patent

    clis, generic competition and increasing regulatory

    requirements, making it more dicult to orm realistic growth

    strategies. O-patent medications now experience continued

    success due to widespread cost-cutting initiatives and the

    demands o a payer-led market. Companies must yet again

    reinvent themselves in light o the current lie sciences

    revolution.

    According to this years report, market changes have

    propelled new strategies. Mobility campaigns and increased

    online presence represent well-ormed trends in 2012. An

    overwhelming majority o surveyed companies (80%) report

    that they are currently using or will be using tablets in their

    organizations, especially or eld-related operations. Further

    almost all respondents (96%) have proles on LinkedIn and

    most (70%) are on Facebook.

    Results reveal that implementing tablet solutions providesa vital tactical advantage, particularly or sales orces

    Additionally, the consistent uptake o social media may signa

    that respondents are stepping outside the archetype o a

    product provider and into the customer-centric role o an

    inormation resource and thought leader.

    Moreover, revitalized market access strategies continue to

    be essential. This year nds companies aiming even higher

    to align products with moving targets by ully understanding

    stakeholders in a cost-constrained environment. In orde

    to pinpoint and infuence key opinion leaders (KOLs) o thehealthcare industry and payer communities, companies

    must perpetually restructure tactics to better suit their

    evolving targets. Additionally, the impact o pharmaceutica

    and healthcare regulations, combined with intense globa

    competition, now inspire companies with a more denite ocus

    on process eectiveness at each level o their enterprise.

    In order or companies to adapt to a host o industry

    transormations, ranging rom commercial business mode

    changes to more stringent regulations and more robust marketaccess strategies, it is essential or pharmaceutical companies

    to implement solutions that can help them do more with less.

    Continued growth in 2012 will require companies to stay alert

    and learn to accept that continuous strategy adaptations in

    the name o best practices are becoming the new industry

    norm o the lie sciences.

    The Shape o Change

    Change and concern are the catalysts or innovation. That

    being said, todays leading companies are quick to express the

    pain points that are keeping them awake at night. Judgingrom the dynamic structural changes to the industry within the

    last year, the top three cited concerns are o little surprise.

    Based on a scale rom one to ve, respondents ranked their

    concerns rom greatest to least. The dominant concern, ranked

    as rst, second and third priority by three-quarters o the

    respondents, is the changing commercial business model

    (74%), ollowed directly by the impact o impending regulatory

    reorms (62%), market access (53%), pipeline growth (50%)

    and generic competition (26%).

    Comparing results to those o 2011, trends have maintained

    consistent through the two years. This years question addedthe two elds o market access and patient adherence to

    broaden the scope o the responses, and over hal selected

    market access as a primary concern. Intuitively, this highlights

    that companies are determined to go beyond the boundaries

    and challenges o global, regional and local markets in order to

    achieve a product portolio with the highest overall adoption

    in diverse patient groups.

    Yet, how are these concerns shaping the decision-makingprocess? Concerning investments in new technology and

    business model changes, are decision makers still sourcing

    rom the same place within the company?

    The comparison graph uncovers the changing origins o

    technology decisions. In 2011, IT and executive management

    matched pace in the decision-making process regarding

    tech investments (both at 28%). Possibly due to market

    shits, executive management has taken the reins, now

    accounting or over double o ITs share o the tech dialogue

    (46% vs. 18%). Additionally, business (sales and marketing)

    departments have increased their infuence in this area

    growing rom 14% in 2011 to 25% in 2012. The infuence oregulatory/compliance has declined rom 16% in 2011 to

    1% in 2012, most likely because in 2011 many lie sciences

    regulatory/compliance teams made technology changes in

    anticipation o the enactment o the Patient Protection and

    Aordable Care Act (PPACA).

    The most valuable takeaway rom this trend is the importance

    o new technology. Executive managements newly inspired

    control over their tech momentum demonstrates the

    overwhelming value o next generation solutions. Supporting

    the evident commercial gains rom implementing new tools andsolutions, business (sales and marketing) departments now

    account or a greater stake o the decision making process

    than IT. Whether its rich cloud technology or stand-alone

    mobility tools, the latest pharma-specic innovations are no

    longer an added benet, understood and pressed only by IT

    departments, but a clearly dened nancial opportunity driven

    by a top-down approach.

    Who is leading the conversation in terms o changes madeto the business model and processes? This year saw a

    sharp increase in the percentage o respondents who cited

    strategy/business planning/business development as the

    primary driver o business model/process change at respondent

    companies. In 2012, more than one-hal (55%) cited strategy/

    business planning/business development as the primary driver

    compared to three out o ten (29%) in 2011. Additionally, the

    marketing/brand teams, commercial operations and regulatory/

    compliance saw a directional decline in the perception o being

    a leading driver o change.

    It is interesting to note that strategy/business planning/business

    development, as opposed to commercial operations (a leading

    category in 2011), has abruptly overshadowed all other categories.

    This may indicate an emerging trend o increased proactivity rom

    a strategic standpoint. Rather than reacting solely to nancial

    indicators to spur new processes and investment, such as new

    technology, companies are integrating business model change as

    a part o strategy, planning and development to instinctively stay

    ahead o the curve.

    Now that companies have voiced who is driving technology,business model and process changes, exactly what changes are

    companies currently making? Based on recent market transitions,

    are areas o ocus changing rom last years responses?

    as the most prominent change being currently implemented

    Especially in this years results, companies seem to be makingsignicant steps to achieve the wider adoption o new and

    existing products through improved understanding o the

    changing healthcare market and eective communication o

    value to the broadest range o patient groups.

    The ollowing responses represent three to our out o ten as

    Mobility

    An eective sales orce is everything. The hurdles have

    continued to grow on reps pathways to targets. Doctors now

    permit sales rep visits to occupy even less o their schedules

    due to increased cost containment pressures rom multiple

    sources. Thereore, capturing a healthcare practitioners (HCP)

    attention goes well beyond the one-sided sales pitch and into

    the realm o valuable education.

    Across the board, companies have strengthened their sales

    orces with next generation mobility tools to maximizetheir interactions with practitioners and stakeholders. An

    overwhelming majority o surveyed companies (80%) report

    that they are currently using or will be using tablets in their

    organization. Respondents support the established trend that

    tablets are no longer a convenience but an essential tool or

    greater eectiveness, collaboration and eciency.

    Field sales/account management (61%) and eld managers

    (32%) account or the largest groups to leverage tablets within

    surveyed organizations. These gures refect the exponential

    growth o the tablet-enabled solution market geared specicallytowards pharmas customer-acing personnel. Todays leading

    mobile applications or tablets eature usability, seamless

    It is important to note that a certain importance lies in the

    distribution o responses. Nearly one-ourth (23%) are

    employing tablets throughout each level o their enterprise.

    The breadth o tablet utility now extends ar beyond its

    original purpose o solely supporting eld activity. Tablets are

    not only serving a platorm to improve external interactionswith clients, but are providing the collaborative power to

    consolidate the inner working o lie sciences enterprises.

    Tablet solution packages now unction as the nexus or a

    companys activity. The most revolutionary providers o tablet-

    enabled solutions integrate the mobile tool with custome

    relationship management (CRM) platorms that centralize al

    commercial interactions. Tablet CRM eatures capabilities to

    support the most essential eld operations and management

    including primary care interactions, KAM, KOL management

    as well as sales orce realignment and rich analytics.

    Furthermore, tablets provide an excellent vehicle or data

    capture. Creating a comprehensive source or sample and

    expenditure data is particularly valuable due to the onset o new

    and more stringent compliance regulations. Groundbreaking

    mobile interaces enable companies to expertly control, track

    and maintain compliance with all sample management activities

    Additionally, HCP expenditure data captured on tablets can be

    seamless input into innovative aggregate spend and disclosure

    compliance solutions. Overall, strategic companies are now

    leveraging intuitive mobility solutions to better analyze theisample operations and HCP expenditures with the end goa

    o achieving consistently smarter, more targeted activities in

    the uture.

    Considering the wide unctionalities o todays mobile CRM

    solutions, sales orces are able to achieve new levels o

    perormance in an increasingly competitive market. The

    latest solutions center on improved usability and human-

    centered design to dramatically boost end user adoption

    and sustainability. By creating greater inormation synergies

    between customer-acing teams and managers, top mobileCRM systems have proven to oster collaboration in real-

    time.

    Essentially, eective mobility initiatives strengthen companies

    with the ability to more dynamically and strategically build

    relationships via ully integrated content management

    unctionalities, KAM strategies, key messages and customer

    assignment. Moreover, mobility enables companies to keep

    reps on task more eectively through unctionalities that

    remain consistent independent o WiFi reception, and supportactionable execution o strategy.

    Since tablets represent an essential toolkit or the majority

    report that they are using/planning to use Apple OS; ollowed

    by Windows at 30%, Android at 23% and RIM at 17%.

    This years trends nd the union between mobile technology and

    the lie sciences business model to be indivisible. Respondents

    conrm that the hands o their sales orce are used to their

    tablets, with Apple providing the most viable mobile platorm

    or their current requirements. Based on the materializing

    pattern, tablets and mobile platorm providers will continue

    to improve their range o unctionalities, making successul

    operations without next-generation mobility solutions nearly

    impossible.

    Social Trending

    Social media now accounts or a ormidable aspect o a

    companys presence. Companies have been propelled to interact

    dierently both internally and externally. Respondents

    express the promising social trends o embracing the emerging

    channel, which can provide a new opportunity to improve

    patient engagement, deploy thought leadership campaigns

    and deepen overall customer-acing communications.

    The survey reveals social media usage to be on a clear

    robust upswing. Those surveyed were asked to rank theirrequency o social activity on the leading channels. Virtually

    all respondents (96%) use LinkedIn to a certain requency

    ranging rom multiple times per day to a ew times per month

    So, now that usage is up, how are companies using socialmedia within their respective companies? Are companies

    social media campaigns strictly limited to customer-acing

    operations?

    The most common usages or social media at respondent

    companies are marketing, public relations and sales. Almost

    two-thirds o the respondents (64%) indicated that social

    media is being used or marketing at their companies. Four

    out o ten report that social media is being used or public

    relations (42%) and sales (38%). Less common uses or social

    media include internal communications (24%), human resources(22%) and customer relationship management (17%).

    Evidently, customer-acing operations, including marketing,

    o social media. Yet, the survey reveals that many acets

    o social media, including internal communications, human

    resources and customer relationship management. The diverse

    utility o social channels demonstrates their added value o

    continuously expanding capabilities or many respondent

    companies.

    Now that scope and unction o social networks have been

    outlined, how does that translate into respondents budgets?

    Admittedly, not very much. But while social media expenditures

    are still relatively low, more companies are allocating dollars

    or it in 2012 than in 2011. The number o respondents who

    reported a 5% or less expenditure increased substantially rom

    29% in 2011 to 50% in 2012. The number o respondents

    who were unaware o their media spend declined rom 37% in

    2011 to 25% in 2012.

    Although the current budgets do not refect devoted socia

    media spending, its importance should be highlighted due to

    the incredibly newness o the communication channel. Judging

    by the speed at which the internet came to revolve around

    social media, the budgets or social media may soon represent

    turns in the road ahead.

    With evident social media momentum, now is the time or

    companies to capitalize on their social image and to improve

    their understanding o targets. Not only do social networks

    govern the structure o the internet, discerning payers now

    conduct research well beyond the takeaways at the doctors

    marketing activities.

    Analysts oretell that pharma will never be put back in its

    original package. Thereore, the lie sciences community must

    discovery new pathways to best practices. Many trusted

    channels, including pipeline growth to capture new value,

    will remain true despite the transition, yet controlling costand embracing the market o next generation solutions wil

    help provide the improved margins required to navigate

    compounding industry obstacles.

    Lie sciences companies have grown accustomed to a state o

    fuidity. Shiting policies, varying perceptions and patent clis

    will always remain beyond the limits o a companys control

    But this years report showcases that the latest host o next

    generation tools will enable companies to regain control over
