Overview
The healthcare and life sciences industries are grappling with unprecedented challenges, from managing complex global supply chains to meeting strict regulatory demands. According to IDC’s 2025 Supply Chain Survey, a focus on cost efficiency at the expense of resilience, partner constraints, and inflexible legacy IT systems are the top three factors preventing effective responses to market changes and disruptions for Asia/Pacific life sciences, healthcare related logistics organizations. To overcome these hurdles, organizations must move beyond siloed systems and adopt a unified data architecture that can accelerate decision-making and build a foundation for future innovation.
This exclusive roundtable will bring together senior IT decision-makers and logistics leaders to discuss the critical role of data unification in transforming healthcare and life sciences logistics. We’ll explore how a modern data platform can help you gain a competitive edge by improving efficiency, ensuring compliance, and enabling smarter, data-driven operations.
