IT Strategy

Over half of commercial launches fail — a key reason why?
Lack of scalable IT infrastructure

Bringing a new drug to market requires high-performing technology. However, not all IT solutions are right for your organization.

At Project Outlier, we’ll partner with you to determine the right technologies to invest in, at the right time, to enable field teams, drive manufacturing quality, and support the patient experience.

First, we’ll seek to gain an understanding of your organization’s goals; namely, your commercial launch timeline(s). Then, we’ll assess your existing IT landscape and will work with you to understand the advantages, limitations, and scalability of those platforms, as well as opportunities to leverage AI to automate repetitive tasks.

Technology Platforms & Onboard Vendors

We’ll lead the effort to select specific technology platforms according to your future state IT ecosystem, and we’ll onboard all vendors and resources needed to implement those technologies.

Establish & Operate IT Portfolio Governance

We’ll set up just the right amount of structure to oversee and govern all implementations and activities within the IT portfolio, ensuring your technology solutions are delivered with a high degree of quality and rigor.

Develop Implementation Plans & Change Management Strategies

We’ll set program and project managers up for success by proactively developing implementation plans and change management approaches, both at the individual implementation level and holistically across the overall IT portfolio. Moreover, we’ll utilize AI capabilities to avoid creating schedules and communication plans from scratch, saving time without sacrificing quality.
