Based on specifications created by the Scala Pharmaceutical User Group, Epicor|Scala has developed a Epicor|Scala for Pharmaceutical, a solution designed to support the complex needs of the Pharmaceutical Industry. We spoke to pharmaceutical customers who already use Epicor|Scala's acclaimed iScala solution and they explained their specific industry requirements. Their challenges included the need to decrease the cost of manufacturing, sales and R&D. The main pressure comes from rising R&D costs, which resulted in mergers and acquisitions in a constantly changing market. Other important factors were meeting safety and corporate governance legislation, time to market demands, new market penetration, new competition, ROI, globalization and partnerships.
