The Connectivity Crisis for Quality: The State of Digital Maturity in Life Sciences

About This Event

Life sciences quality professionals have made significant progress the past few years—an encouraging 61% report their processes are now digital. Yet MasterControl's latest research reveals a critical disconnect: only 38% of those digital systems are truly connected, creating a fundamental barrier to AI deployment and intelligent quality management.

This webinar unveils exclusive recent research findings from 150 quality leaders that expose the "connectivity crisis" holding back the industry from true transformation and AI maturity. While you've likely invested in QMS, MES, ERP, and other digital platforms, disconnected systems create data silos that trap valuable information—making it inaccessible to AI algorithms and preventing the predictive insights your operations need.

The stakes are high. Our research shows that 97% of quality professionals struggle with managing inspections and audits, and an equal number lack the ability to predict quality issues before they occur. Meanwhile, the top capabilities the industry wants from AI align, with enhanced traceability and compliance and improved visibility. The issue? Integration is simultaneously the industry's most recognized prerequisite for AI success and its most significant barrier to deployment.

Key Takeaways

  • A Digital Maturity Reality Check: Understand where your organization truly sits on the maturity curve and why moving from "digital" to "connected" is the critical next step most companies are missing.
  • Understanding the True Cost of Silos: Learn how disconnected quality systems trap data, limit visibility, and prevent the real-time insights that enable proactive risk management.
  • From Pilot Purgatory to Production: Explore why AI initiatives remain stuck in pilot mode and the specific infrastructure requirements needed to move to enterprise-wide deployment
  • The Unified Platform Advantage: See how MasterControl's connected ecosystem eliminates fragmentation while maintaining the flexibility your sites need.
  • Practical AI Readiness: Get actionable guidance on laying the groundwork for AI implementation, from data quality and infrastructure to regulatory preparation and change control.

Whether you're still digitizing paper processes or already have digital systems in place, this webinar provides strategic steps in achieving true connectivity—the essential foundation for deploying AI that drives meaningful quality improvements and predicts issues before they impact patients.
