Digitisation Strategy for Pharmaceutical Market Access

This case study outlines the digitisation strategy implemented by Almirall to enhance access to drug documentation and clinical results for faster market entry. The objective was to secure approval from local authorities in new markets, specifically targeting the Chinese market for an EU-approved product. Iron Mountain provided a comprehensive solution that involved centralising and digitising over 4,000 boxes of records, ensuring secure access through a cloud-based portal. The project resulted in the digitisation of 1.7 million pages, allowing for real-time sharing of information with supply chain partners and regulatory bodies. The successful implementation of this strategy has improved patient access to treatments, accelerated global product rollouts, and ensured compliance with industry standards. Almirall's digital transformation has positioned the company to meet regulatory requirements effectively while enhancing operational efficiency and expanding its market reach.
