3 RUNNING ON INSIGHT What s holding you back as a company in the life sciences industry? What could help you run better, more efficiently, and at lower cost? What could you do to achieve operational excellence in critical areas such as drug discovery and development, clinical trials, safety and pharmacovigilance, manufacturing and distribution, and supply chain management? The fact is, running a business almost any business is a complex undertaking. Organizations need to collaborate with partners, manage intricate supply chains, and comply with constantly changing regulations. They also need to stave off the competition with innovative new offerings and manage operations on an increasingly global scale. Yet while most of these challenges are common to companies across industries, nowhere are they more pronounced than in the life sciences industry. For pharmaceutical and biotech firms, increasing complexity is simply a fact of life. In almost everything you do whether it s researching new compounds, analyzing clinical trial data, or managing elaborate supply networks to produce and deliver sophisticated new therapies complexity is the water in which you swim. At the same time, the competition is always knocking at your door, reminding you that you need to do it all faster than ever before. Yet regardless of how quickly you innovate, the clock is always ticking for when generics can take over your market share. With no time to rest on your laurels, you must constantly ramp up the pace of discovery, push new therapies through the clinical trial process, and move into production as quickly as possibly all while adhering to drug safety rules, minimizing business risk, and keeping costs to a bare minimum. THE ANSWER TO COMPLEXITY Nobody ever said doing business in the life sciences industry was going to be easy. But where complexity is the question, insight is the answer. This is where QlikView can help. QlikView is the leading Business Discovery platform. It delivers true self-service BI that empowers business users by driving innovative decision-making.

4 WHAT IS BUSINESS DISCOVERY? Business Discovery is based on the belief that information can change the world and that every business user contributes to that transformation. With the QlikView Business Discovery platform, everyone can easily analyze data and experience that a-ha moment of discovery. Business Discovery is a whole new way of doing things that puts the business user in control. Unlike traditional BI, where just a few people are involved in insight creation, Business Discovery enables everyone to create insight. It s about workgroups, departments, and entire business units having access to the data they need to make better decisions. With QlikView, businesses can take insight to the edges of their organization, enabling every business user to do their jobs smarter and faster than ever. QlikView enables all users to create tailored insights that meet their unique business needs and timelines. DOING MORE, DOING IT BETTER When it comes to R&D, QlikView helps improve data management sharing and reporting across the stages of development.

6 WHAT DO YOUR PEOPLE GAIN WITH QLIKVIEW? QUITE A BIT, ACTUALLY. Social Business Discovery Collaborate more effectively by sharing inputs, perspectives, and expertise while forging new paths to discovery and insight Comparative Analysis Analyze data sets from virtually any angle, create and share new data associations to build on existing knowledge, and discover new insights Mobile Business Discovery Take advantage of the interactive analysis and timely data availability of QlikView on mobile devices even when devices are offline Rapid Development Platform Use our create their own analytical apps quickly, without requiring lots of ongoing involvement from IT Enterprise Platform Rely on robust insight even as your teams grow thanks to enterprise ready software that meets IT requirements for security, performance, and advanced yet easy to use administrative tools DISCOVERING BUSINESS DISCOVERY QlikView can take insight to the very edges of your organization, shifting the paradigm of BI created by a few to everyone leveraging business discovery for their specific business needs. QlikView is a leading Business Discovery platform that enables business users to explore live data, make discoveries, and solve unique problems. Business users can search and explore, use dynamic dashboards and interactive analytics from any mobile device even if the device is disconnected from mobile networks. QlikView empowers your business users, teams, and departments to forge new paths to insight, without bothering IT every time they need answers. Instead, IT can stay focused on ensuring the quality, security, scalability, and availability of core business data available through QlikView. CREATE, COMMUNICATE, AND EXPLORE WITH SOCIAL BUSINESS DISCOVERY Business decisions are seldom made in isolation, they are collaborative. They are based on social exchanges driven by real time debate, dialog, and shared insights. QlikView s approach places collaboration at the very heart of Business Discovery and whether your people are in the same building or scattered across the globe, QlikView connects everyone in real time or asynchronously. It provides users with the freedom to securely and privately collaborate as they choose. QlikView incorporates best of breed visualization capabilities including a broad range of charting and display options. The simple and easy to use QlikView interface isn t just intuitive it s appealing. A simple click can transform the analysis and open up new analytical paths and ways to visualize data. Based on security roles, business users can interact with QlikView Apps and make modifications, additions and/or create new apps without requiring complex training or ramp-up time. If users need a specific visualization component that is not included in core QlikView, web developers can easily and seamlessly integrate custom and third party components. 6 A Clinical and Operational Breakthrough for the Life Sciences Industry

7 POWERFUL COLLABORATIVE SESSIONS However your people work and collaborate, QlikView has the flexibility to make them more effective. For example, your teams can use collaborative sessions to jointly interact with a QlikView document in real-time to review research results, coordinate with suppliers, or plan production runs. These sessions are bidirectional, so teams can interact live with QlikView documents sharing selections and testing scenarios together even if users don t have a QlikView license. What s more, collaborative sessions aren t limited to desktops and laptops, which means users can join using their mobile devices and tablets. And to support collaboration within an enterprise portal, QlikView integrates with Microsoft Office productivity software and Microsoft SharePoint and shares collaboration objects and bookmarks. This makes it possible to collaborate with almost anyone you with on a daily basis. For example, let s say you have a new vaccine on the market and you need coordinate with multiple teams. Your internal manufacturing, procurement, and marketing teams all use QlikView but your external supplier for the API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) does not. This isn t a problem. After an internal meeting to forecast capacity, you can use a collaborative session to meet with the supplier, sharing your forecast demand planning and production application. During this session, you re able to quickly click through flu season timelines, demand changes, production capacity, shelf life what-if scenarios, and the required API supply to adequately meet the demand. All along, participants can see potential bottlenecks as well as changing demand by region. This helps you better plan the use of production facilities to accommodate changing demand and supply conditions. Within the hour, by using a collaborative session across all teams internal and external you re able to generate an attainable global production plan to meet forecasted demand plus allow for up to 20% additional doses. You can also quickly determine contingency plans for increased demand and trigger points for reducing production in the event of decreasing demand. ANNOTATION CAPABILITIES FACILITATE DISCUSSIONS With the new annotations collaboration object, QlikView users can engage in highly effective discussions about QlikView content. Take, for instance, the scenario of a primary investigator (PI) and several physician Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) who are all working together in a phase-two clinical trial for liver cancer. To determine changes in tumor morphology, the study protocol requires patients to be biopsied at certain points throughout the trial. Using the annotations capability in QlikView, the PI and KOLs can pull up demographic data for the trial, drill down to specific patients exhibiting morphological changes, and annotate patient information within the application all under HIPAA compliance. Throughout the study, participants can comment on each other s notes and share annotations across the physician population. The PI and KOLs can also share annotations to reach a consensus on the trial drug s effect, note developments, report on study progress, and update patients and their caregivers with the most accurate, physician-vetted information regarding their cancer status. Using QlikView to solicit input, and aggregatephysician diagnoses helps to improve patient morale and outcome while assuring all study information is captured and reported accurately to the FDA and across study sites.

8 FOLLOW YOUR OWN TRAIN OF THOUGHT THROUGH THE ASSOCIATIVE EXPERIENCE One of QlikView s primary differentiators is the associative experience. Leveraging QlikView s in memory processing, the associative experience is similar to Google s new Instant Search, providing instant results as you type. More importantly, an intuitive interface highlights important relationships between your data yielding insights that would be impossible with traditional tools. This means that your people can follow their own train of thought exploring huge volumes of data and relying on QlikView s inference engine to maintain associations in the data automatically. They can ask questions in many ways: clicking on data in list boxes, lassoing data in charts and maps, wherever they see opportunities for insight. And they can do all of this from any device and without tasking developers with the job of creating rigid hierarchies of data and hard coded drill paths. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR DEEPER INSIGHT With QlikView s latest comparative analysis capabilities, it s never been easier to discover new connections in your vast stores of data empowering you to spot similarities, differences, outliers, and of course, opportunities. You can create multiple groupings of data in any QlikView document, and each grouping is fully interactive to enable true multidimensional analysis. You can also create graphs, tables, or spreadsheets based on the different groupings to gain new insights and discover patterns you could never see before. For example, let s say you re in charge of demand forecast and production planning. You notice through QlikView that several regions are underperforming regarding a new anti-depressant that you ve recently launched and you need to forecast for production based upon demand, while managing costs and shelf life of the drug. To determine the cause for the decrease in demand, you need to analyze on a region-by-region basis the performance of the new drug compared to products from other firms and legacy products from your own firm. In the past, you d need to make selections for each drug one at a time and then note the performance of each in every region. Now, with comparative analysis capabilities, you can directly compare the anti-depressant with both competing and legacy products in the same charts and graphs for all underperforming regions. By directly visualizing the same data sets for multiple products together, you can quickly pinpoint the issue for depressed sales in certain regions, determine corrective action, and modify your forecast and demand planning. Let s say, for instance, that QlikView reveals an important insight namely that multiple legacy drugs from your own portfolio are still being sold at high volumes. What s more, there s a direct correlation between the sales of these products and the lack of traction for your new antidepressant. In other words, you re cannibalizing your own new product. The good news, though, is that QlikView shows no real threat competitive threat from other products on the market. So for now, you are able to increase the forecast and production for the legacy product and decrease the forecast of the new product so as not to be producing drugs that will expire. From here, your course of action is clear: hold a collaborative session with marketing, share the data and your insights, and help them see where to step up their conversion efforts to get physicians and customers to switch from the old drug to the new. In a matter of minutes, you re able to drill down to the source of a problem, identify the root cause, and revise your forecast and demand plan to more 8 A Clinical and Operational Breakthrough for the Life Sciences Industry

9 accurately reflect reality. This helps you save money and take appropriate action across functions to help your company achieve its revenue targets for the quarter. QLIKVIEW FOR MOBILE: INSIGHT ON THE GO QlikView for Mobile delivers the full Business Discovery power of QlikView across multiple mobile device platforms. Unlike lightweight visualization tools that support only some of the potential of the full tool, QlikView for Mobile takes full advantage of HTML5 to give you the same seamless and visually rich QlikView experience whether you re on a smart phone, tablet, or a PC. QlikView for Mobile also supports multiple device platforms from iphones and Android smart phones to Apple, Android, and BlackBerry tablets. This dramatically speeds development wait times because business users don t have to wait for developers to create new versions of QlikView apps, dashboards, and reports for each mobile device platform. GREATER PRODUCTIVITY ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE The mobile option is becoming increasingly important across a wide range of activities in the life sciences industry. Executives on the go, for example, want to constantly check dashboards and access vital statistics no matter where they. QlikView Mobile makes it possible for top management to stay abreast of all developments as well as to crunch the numbers on their own as they make the case for your company and its therapies out on the open market. Or let s say you re a production specialist working on the plant floor of one of your company s overseas facilities. Instead of returning to a desktop while in the middle of the facility, with QlikView for Mobile you can simply call up the data you need wherever you are. And because remaining on schedule remains such an important issue for the company as a whole, you can also collaborate with the executive suite from your device, share data, and make rapid decisions based on a single version of the truth about production run schedules and other critical manufacturing issues. QlikView for mobile can enhance productivity in a laboratory setting as well. As you develop new compounds and therapies, QlikView for mobile can put the data you need at your fingertips. And if you re even in a situation where wireless connections are forbidden which is sometimes the case in clinical facilities, the new QlikView ios app for iphone and ipad supports a powerful new disconnected mode that allows you to work with QlikView even offline. Whatever you need to do, you can still interact with QlikView apps and access bookmarks you have downloaded to your device. This enables scientists and other lab specialists to be as productive as possible regardless of whether or not they are connected. EMPOWER YOUR PEOPLE AND FREE UP IT With traditional solutions, the creation of BI is highly centralized with development teams. Business users can wait months, even years, for the applications and information they want. QlikView, however, blurs the lines between IT and end users, empowering everyone to create their own analytical apps whether its IT professionals, third party software developers, or business users themselves. This changes the relationship between IT and the business for the better. IT, which remains in charge of A Clinical and Operational Breakthrough for the Life Sciences Industry 9

10 the platform, becomes an enabler of business change by empowering end users to get the information they need in the way want to receive it. And because it is freed from day to day responsibilities to support BI creation, IT can now dedicate other resources to its core mission of helping the firm achieve its strategic objectives. SIMPLIFIED CHART DATA Traditional BI requires macros and advanced aggregation functions to create meaningful comparisons in charts like top values, lowest values, mean averages, etc. QlikView does away with all this in favor of granular controls that make it far easier to extract and display critical information in a chart or graph. All it takes is a few clicks in the item s property box. What s more, calculations in a chart or graph are faster than ever because they now occur in the chart engine, not the presentation layer. BETTER USE OF SCREEN REAL ESTATE QlikView helps optimize the use of precious screen real estate on your business phones and tablets. For example, you can now create more efficient and user friendly interfaces by placing multiple objects on a single tab, snapped together in a grid. This enables business users to gain a more consolidated view of business information. In the end, they re able to see a much wider array of perspectives on a given data set without having to constantly navigate the screen. WORLD-CLASS USER EXPERIENCE Even as QlikView helps your business users and developers streamline QlikView app development, it also helps you maintain control even for the largest QlikView deployments. Everyone can access and utilize central source control systems, such as Microsoft Team Foundation Server, directly from the QlikView desktop. The source control system can then provide change tracking and rollback, and can merge changes made by multiple developers. Each element of the QlikView document such as script, properties, and user interface object definitions is stored separately and can have changes tracked separately. MORE DEVELOPMENT CONTROL Even as QlikView helps your business users and developers streamline QlikView app development, it also helps you maintain control even for the largest QlikView deployments. Everyone can access and utilize central source control systems, such as Microsoft Team Foundation Server, directly from the QlikView desktop. The source control system can then provide change tracking and rollback, and can merge changes made by multiple developers.

The firm has now extended QlikView for procurement and sales &marketing purposes. On the procurement side, the company can now run comparative analysis to reveal insights regarding purchase price variance (PPV). This shows actual prices paid to vendors compared to agreed upon prices which helps control costs. On the sales & marketing side, the firm can now see inventory through distribution along with which customers are purchasing at what levels. This helps the firm address shortfalls so that it can constantly meet demand and keep its customers satisfied. BENEFITS: When measuring the benefits of QlikView for this firm, the numbers speak for themselves. For example, with QlikView in place, the company was able to reduce inventory waste and improve on-time project delivery both by more than 5%. The firm also estimates that it has achieved more than $2 million in annual savings using QlikView. As QlikView continues to spread throughout the organization, expect more of the same.

This organization provides a comprehensive range of products to enhance the health, well-being, and performance of a wide range of animals. A forward-looking company with a proven track record, itproduces pharmaceutical products and vaccines for livestock, pets and wildlife (including endangered species). CHALLENGE: At the parent firm, global concerns across its subsidiaries included expediting drug discovery and development, and decreasing time to market. At the daughter firm in particular, the company needed a better way to monitor outcomes (pharmacovigilance) for both humans and animals. SOLUTION: Implementing QlikView across all of its companies to improve R&D, the parent firm built a powerful production planning dashboard that optimizesthe portfolio of development activities. This helps improve the planning cycle to optimize drug development and decrease time to market. QlikView enables access throughout the enterprise and associates all data sources on a common platform for a single source of truth. This increases the visibility of R&D projects while improving project planning and management. At the daughter firm, QlikView was implemented across operations where it is used to analyze data for a wide range of purposes. For example, employeescan now slice the data and analyze it almost instantaneously based on case study, breed of animal, age, species, or problem reported. It can also track outcomes after treatments have been delivered. This helps the firm meet its pharmacovigilance targets with greater ease and effectiveness. BENEFITS: Overall, QlkiView has had a tremendously positive financial impact improving data planning and monitoring activities across the board. The firm can now better track costs, planned expenses and delays. QlikView has also helped reduce FDA reporting time by 60%. As a result, four FTE s were promoted to manage more strategic activities. Based on QlikView s performance thus far, both firms have extended QlikView to areas of commercialization and finance as well. Not surprisingly, the parent firm has also made QlikView part of the company s strategic roadmap for BI. 14 A Clinical and Operational Breakthrough for the Life Sciences Industry
