\nAlmost three-fourths (71%) of executives believe their industries could do a better job optimizing revenue activities. Competitive markets, digital disruption, new and ever-changing regulatory proposals \u2013 combined with ongoing pandemic-driven uncertainty \u2013 are key contributors to the current life sciences challenges. Some 68% of life sciences firms reported an increase in revenue management moments in 2020 \u2013 yet a surprising 96% rely on traditional spreadsheets for some revenue execution tasks.\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to Melonie Warfel, vice president and general manager of Life Sciences for Model N, the survey findings reflect both the acute need for revenue management and the industry\u2019s readiness to embrace technology-enabled solutions. \u201cOur customers are constantly balancing changes to existing regulations, preparing for new requirements, and simultaneously maintaining ambitious research and development efforts,\u201d she said. \u201cMore companies are leveraging AI-powered platforms like Model N\u2019s revenue cloud to ensure regulatory compliance and manage revenues, which helps to support innovation. Having the technology to respond quickly to unrelenting pricing pressure in a changing environment is absolutely essential.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Responding to Revenue Execution Challenges<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAgainst this backdrop of billions in potential lost revenue, the life sciences industry is increasingly prioritizing business-critical revenue management challenges, and many firms are seeking new solutions. More than 90% of executives say revenue management needs to modernize in the digital era, and almost all companies (96%) report adopting new business models, changing processes (98%), and seeking out innovative technologies for revenue management (99%).\n<\/p>\n

\nThe continued impact of COVID-19 was also noted in the areas of revenue and daily business operations. More than half (54%) of life sciences companies say that steps taken during the fast-track testing and production of COVID-19 vaccines will have a long-term impact on revenue management processes. In addition, according to those surveyed, telecommuting also poses issues, as some 61% said remote work made revenue management more difficult.\n<\/p>\n

The Role of Technology<\/b><\/p>\n

\nToday\u2019s leaders are leveraging revenue management strategies and tools that integrate both an understanding of the industry and most current technologies, including AI and the cloud.\n<\/p>\n

\nSome 92% of those surveyed agree that cloud solutions should come from a vendor with deep expertise in a sector\u2019s unique business complexity and challenges, a notable majority consistent with larger industry trends around enterprise-wide digital transformation and digitization initiatives.
