Traditionally considered to be a cost-function by life sciences enterprises, the pharmacovigilance and device-vigilance / complaint management market is finally getting its long-due attention from all industry sections – including regulatory agencies, drug safety teams, and media. This attention stresses on the need to effectively monitor drugs/devices and prioritize patient safety. The enterprise community is pursuing strategic technology investments and realigning its focus on value-added drug safety activities while outsourcing case processing to third-party service providers.

Service providers – CROs, IT/BPOs, and product safety specialists – are helping enterprises address these challenges by providing well-established drug/device vigilance processes/services, offering staff augmentation capabilities with access to highly trained resources, and supporting the regional QPPV activities. Notably, the service provider community is investing in technology IP across pharmacovigilance / complaint management activities to improve efficiency, reduce costs, manage volumes, and remain compliant. The pharmacovigilance and complaint management market has reached an inflection point, and these process- and technology-driven investments will start paying off in the coming years, as both the parties try to achieve more with less.
