Wipro Limited, a leader in technology services and consulting companies, has collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to revolutionize laboratory processes in the life sciences sector.
Outdated laboratory procedures have been a persistent challenge in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. These outdated processes impede efficiency and escalate costs. Lab technicians, associates, and medical experts frequently encounter challenges due to the fragmented nature of laboratory operations across multiple platforms. This lack of cohesion causes inefficiencies and elongates the time needed to introduce new d**** and products, amplifying research and development costs.
Wipro embarked on a collaborative initiative with AWS to introduce the Lab of the Future, a groundbreaking solution to tackle prevalent challenges within the industry. This innovative platform operates on the cloud, presenting a holistic approach to refining laboratory procedures and fostering enhanced stakeholder collaboration.
Philippe Dintrans, Senior Vice President & Global Head of Domain & Consulting at Wipro Consulting, outlined the vision behind the Lab of the Future. The objective is to integrate generative AI, advanced analytics, and a consultative business-first approach to revolutionize lab performance comprehensively.
The Life Sciences sector confronts several critical challenges, including dwindling returns on R&D investment, rising expenses in drug development, and a substantial time allocation to data management—occupying nearly half of data scientists’ work time.
In response, Wipro and AWS have collaborated to introduce the Lab of the Future, a cutting-edge solution to revolutionize laboratories within the life sciences industry. This innovation aims to deliver a contemporary, streamlined, and collaborative laboratory platform, potentially curbing costs significantly and expediting the creation of life-saving d**** and essential products.
Srini Rajamani, Senior Vice President and Sector Head of Consumer and Life Sciences at Wipro, expressed the significance of this initiative, emphasizing Wipro’s commitment to enhancing client outcomes and fostering cost-efficiency across the life sciences value chain.
