Key Market Issues
The demand for security solutions is set to continue, with 87% of survey respondents planning investments in this area in the next two years, owing to the
increasing adoption of enterprise mobility and rising data security threats in pharmaceutical companies. Companies in the pharmaceutical sector are keen to
deploy a cost effective supply chain solution in order to streamline their operations. In order to curb the impact of competition and regulatory changes
pharmaceuticals companies are looking to adopt various predictive analytics and modelling tools in order to make smarter business decisions by understanding
the latest market trends and customer preferences. Managing and monitoring the ever increasing volumes of information across a global organisation is a complex
task, which is driving the adoption of various enterprise content management (ECM) solutions. The increasing complexity of enterprise ICT infrastructure is
consequently driving the demand for IT systems management to manage ICT assets effectively and keep them running efficiently, while at the same time
removing any redundancies and wastage of resources.
Key Highlights
With 60% of respondents planning investments in this solution through to the end of 2014, the demand for PLM solutions is set to gain momentum in the

planning to invest here through to the end of 2014. Web/video conferencing and IP-contact centres occupy the top two positions on survey respondents' priority
lists. While web/video conferencing has a penetration rate of 65% among pharmaceutical companies, 63% already operate IP-contact centres. Kable expects high
levels of investment in hybrid clouds in the near future, as an increasing number of pharmaceutical companies are planning to make investments in these
solutions through to the end of 2014.
