Top Data Challenges in Life Sciences

Life sciences organizations grapple with a range of data-related challenges:

  • Data is siloed across disconnected clinical, research, and commercial teams
  • Inconsistent terminology and unclear data lineage
  • Manual reporting processes slow down compliance and regulatory submissions
  • IT bottlenecks add friction, making data access and discovery more challenging
  • Heightened privacy obligations under strict international regulations

These challenges don’t just create inefficiencies, they stifle innovation and increase exposure to compliance risks and data integrity issues.
