There is a fundamental technological shift taking place in the MES market driven by evolving technologies and new digital concepts that challenge the status quo. By 2025, 60% of new MES solutions will be “composed” rather than implemented, with new composable platforms taking the lead in the market. This new approach to MES promises previously unheard-of reductions in the effort and cost associated with traditional MES. This means that deploying a MES solution can happen in a matter of weeks — led by the people who are closest to the process (i.e., citizen developers supported by AI). This is the promise of a frontline operations platform: a composable, cloud-native, flexible, and user-friendly solution that encompasses what a MES solution looks like in the Pharma 4.0 reality. This type of platform inherently supports the quality and compliance requirements that are critical for the pharmaceutical industry — offering seamless data integrity and the ability to adopt continuous validation. This presentation explores the key capabilities and importance of the new MES architecture, and challenges the standard MES’ ability to deliver on these new expectations. In this session, you will learn:
