What Can Pharma CIOs do to Enable Innovation
What is the role of a CIO in a Pharma / Life-Science company? Traditionally, the role of the CIO has been to manage the IT portfolio, implement systems, manage infrastructure and control IT costs to support the business.
With the unprecedented rate of shift the industry is experiencing, CIO’s can no longer simply be tasked with managing portfolios and budgets.
