Opinion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital transformation is occurring at a rapid pace in life science companies, including in the sales and marketing space. Internal and external sources of data are being collected in the cloud, and this information is being leveraged by sales and marketing groups to improve speed, efficiency, and effectiveness in reaching customers, including both healthcare providers (HCPs) and patients. Life science companies are looking for expertise and advice on strategy for sales and marketing commercial organizations and processes to take full advantage of advanced technology and business practices. A number of consulting and service provider firms have developed expertise in optimizing life science commercial organizations, and several of these vendors also offer implementation, process development, and outsourcing services to ensure continuity of strategy and implementation. The desire to automate and optimize recurring commercial sales activities, consolidate disparate data sources, and optimize omni-channel sales and marketing operations is fueling continued and increasing investment in life science sales and marketing strategic consulting services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2020, the life science industry and the vendors that serve it have had to accelerate the pace of digital transformation to contend with the COVID-19 pandemic and associated changes in work. Healthcare providers have moved even faster toward digital channels to receive critical information on diseases and therapies to address the need for physical distancing and limits on personal calls by field sales professionals. Patients have increasingly engaged in telehealth visits, and many life science company employees have had to adopt to a work-from-home scenario. The life science industry has responded quickly to these new modes of work while accelerating efforts to develop therapies and vaccines in record time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vendors selected to participate in this study have demonstrated successful consulting practices to assist with solutions, which can be implemented and maintained by skilled workers virtually anywhere in the world, augmented by technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, and mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help life science companies evaluate the vendors in this space, in this IDC MarketScape, we evaluate the capabilities of several prominent providers of strategic consulting services in life science sales and marketing, including those that transform sales and marketing operating models through technology, workforce transformation, digital channels, and new operating models. When evaluating these vendors, the key criteria companies should consider (all of which are discussed in this study) include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Breadth of experience and offerings in life science sales and marketing strategic consulting efforts and the number of customers served by the vendor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geographic footprint and global delivery capabilities, level of priority, and focus by the vendor on the life science sales and marketing sector, including the pace of sector investment by the vendor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Life science industry expertise, corporate financial stability, and the size and experience of global life science delivery teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thorough vetting of customer references to evaluate vendor capabilities in strategic vision, project management, IT technical skills, account management, and overall value delivery to clients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"606\" data-id=\"413\"  src=\"https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-1200x284.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-1800x426.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-400x95.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-768x182.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-1536x364.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-2048x485.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cms.idc-custom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Amdocs-Header3-800x189.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\r\n<a id=\"tech-buyer-advice\" class=\"wp-block-custom anchor\" name=\"Tech Buyer Advice\"><\/a>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Tech Buyer Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategic consulting in life science sales and marketing allows companies to leverage industry knowledge of best practices to apply to internal commercial operations. Vendors that can provide strategic counsel on the adoption of innovative business models, digital innovation, and resiliency while driving cost savings and increased agility are in demand. Reevaluation and redesign of management and IT processes, particularly repetitive processes that are not considered core to the mission of delivering value to patients and other stakeholders, makes sense for life science companies with limited IT and development capabilities. These limited internal resources can be deployed strategically to areas requiring scientific or commercial innovation, which may add more value. Vendors with combined IT and life science expertise have developed business models that can reduce costs for pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device manufacturers by optimizing these processes and infrastructure while delivering superior service compared with internal models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life science companies are increasingly looking for vendors that can combine deep industry expertise with global delivery capabilities. Successful vendors in this space must demonstrate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Deep, proven industry-specific expertise, with a strong book of references<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proven understanding of industry regulations and compliance standards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Willingness to provide dedicated resources onsite on an ongoing basis across sequential digital projects to maintain acquired best practices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buyers should:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Determine whether vendor teams are organized vertically (life sciences). This will ensure that vendor leadership is aligned with industry-specific needs and that future development will be aligned with life science industry needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider each vendor&#8217;s breadth of service offerings, especially in the sales and marketing space; pricing flexibility; and willingness to share risk for project outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure that functional and technical requirements are signed off by all stakeholders within your organization by involving them early in the specification process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\r\n<a id=\"featured-vendor\" class=\"wp-block-custom anchor\" name=\"Featured Vendor\"><\/a>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Featured Vendor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This section briefly explains IDC&#8217;s key observations resulting in a vendor&#8217;s position in this IDC MarketScape.

For a vendor to be considered for inclusion in this study, the vendor&#8217;s strategic consulting services must have been significantly evaluated for purchase within recent contracts with which IDC is familiar. Further research and due diligence were then conducted to narrow the list of vendors to only those that fulfilled the following qualifying criteria:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Significant marketplace presence in life science sales and marketing strategic consulting services, including such work at large (&gt;$1 billion annual revenue) biopharmaceutical and medical device firms for at least the past five years<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Delivery of strategic consulting solutions to the life science industry, including cloud strategy, mobile solutions, social data, and analytics\/AI<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Global life science customer base and delivery network<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">A documented vertical life science industry practice<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Demonstrated success in one or more strategic consulting categories in life science sales and marketing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Based on these criteria, the following 12 companies were selected for participation in this IDC MarketScape vendor assessment:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Accenture<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Capgemini<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Cognizant<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Genpact<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">HCL<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Indegene<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">IQVIA<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">NTT DATA<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">PwC<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">TCS<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Veeva<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s2\">ZS<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item js-accordion-item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__header js-accordion-trigger\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"accordion-item__title\">Reading an IDC MarketScape Graph<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__icon\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">For the purposes of this analysis, IDC divided potential key measures for success into two primary categories: capabilities and strategies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Positioning on the y-axis reflects the vendor&#8217;s current capabilities and menu of services and how well aligned the vendor is to customer needs. The capabilities category focuses on the capabilities of the company and product today, here and now. Under this category, IDC analysts will look at how well a vendor is building\/delivering capabilities that enable it to execute its chosen strategy in the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Positioning on the x-axis, or strategies axis, indicates how well the vendor&#8217;s future strategy aligns with what customers will require in three to five years. The strategies category focuses on high-level decisions and underlying assumptions about offerings, customer segments, and business and go-to-market plans for the next three to five years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The size of the individual vendor markers in the IDC MarketScape represents the market share of each individual vendor within the specific market segment being assessed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item js-accordion-item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__header js-accordion-trigger\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"accordion-item__title\">IDC MarketScape Methodology<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__icon\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item__inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">IDC MarketScape criteria selection, weightings, and vendor scores represent well-researched IDC judgment about the market and specific vendors.
