Digital Disruption – Do more with less
The digitally connected world presents unique opportunities and unforeseen challenges that require organizations to respond with agility and consistency. In order to thrive in this new world order, an organisation must be prepared to effectively track, respond, and engage today’s demanding & informed customers who use a variety of smart devices and media.
Delivering customized solutions for customers becomes a greater challenge for life sciences companies due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders: payers, doctors, hospitals, medical device companies, regulators, etc. Delivering inspirational content seamlessly to various stakeholders across channels with superior user experience yet simplifying your marketing operations – to do it better, faster & cheaper, and reducing the entry barriers, is what will differentiate companies successfully engaging complex digital ecosystem.
Infosys would like to invite you for a webinar on challenges and opportunities in digital adoption and leverage across the pharma value chain. Leading luminaries from the field will present their perspective that will potentially help carve your organization’s digital journey.

Joel Nichols,
Head of Software & Automation, Merck/Millipore
Originally trained as a software engineer, Joel began his career supporting quality control (QC) labs with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and later laboratory execution systems (LES) within the pharma/biotech industries. He transitioned from lab work into more manufacturing systems which led him into learning more about the process and operations within a plant.
Joel continued to learn process engineering and eventually led process automation teams at multiple facilities in multiple locations. He later took on the project of leading the manufacturing execution systems delivery for 5 plants in one facility being built from the ground up.
Joel now uses his ~20 years leading IT and process automation groups to build an organization of almost 100 people to build the future vision for Digital Bioprocessing within the process solutions segment of Merck/Millipore.
