Many industry-specific and internal drivers compel medical device manufacturers to evaluate enterprise contract management systems. Regulatory pressure on pricing and reimbursement is significant and likely to increase. There are considerable opportunities to optimize revenue through better management of revenue leakage. This positions I-many to help medical device companies realize the same success pharmaceutical companies have seen with our contract management solutions.
"I-many has a compelling vision for the medical device industry," said John Rade, president and CEO of I-many. "The regulatory environment is becoming more stringent and we expect that medical device companies will have to deal with the same complex contracting and compliance issues that challenge pharmaceutical companies today. We are working with several customers now on their specific needs and requirements to address these issues."
Rade continues, "Additionally, medical devices companies are telling us that they do not feel well served by the current options available to them today. We see this as an enormous opportunity for I-many to fill a critical need that is going unfulfilled. We believe that companies that work with us will streamline their contract management process and improve their overall performance."
The aging of baby boomers worldwide, coupled with the rapid pace of product innovation as evidenced by burgeoning product pipelines, is expected to position the medical device industry for annual double-digit growth for years to come. Medical device manufacturers work hard to balance two important but opposing goals: quickly and consistently introducing innovative products while remaining price competitive in a highly cost-sensitive environment. To achieve these goals, medical device companies need to implement a comprehensive contract management solution, not only to remain compliant with heavy and increasing regulatory pressures, but also to realize increasing revenue in a highly competitive industry.
As the industry's most comprehensive solution, the I-many Contract Management Suite for Life Sciences manages hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate contracts, revenue and pricing agreements for pharmaceutical companies that implement the solution. The I-many Contract Management Suite for Life Sciences directly addresses the challenges faced by life sciences companies as they navigate the complex regulatory environment. With our expertise and knowledge in contract management and deep understanding of the medical devices industry, I-many is well positioned to extend what is currently available for pharmaceutical companies to medical device companies so they can optimize their revenue.
