Data Security Framework for Pharma Companies
Pharma companies biggest concern is Data Security and Identity Management
Innovative Framework for implementing Data Security on a Public Cloud
Will help companies adopt low cost Cloud Models
For e.g. the framework can have “Running a firewall instance on every shared physical server” or “Placing geo constraints on hosted data” or “Type of encryption recommended for hosted data”
Framework to asses Cloud Provider’s Data Security Model against the Business Requirement
Compliance Consulting for Private Cloud
FDA Compliance for IT systems a “must” for all Pharma Companies
Consulting for executing IQ validation process(FDA) for the Private Cloud Infrastructure
A framework can be developed for Public Cloud if a certain vendor shows interest
Extremely difficult for Public cloud due to lack of audit trail
*“Going forward, I see cloud computing expanding its role in our advanced analytics strategy,” Powers(Eli Lilly) says. “I expect to see many of the Identity and Security issues to be solved by really smart and creative people which will truly enable us to take advantage of the cloud

Other Consulting Opportunities
Adoption of Email, CRM and ERP, HR and Payroll in SaaS model for the enhanced collaboration of the globally distributed workforce
Business Case and Implementation Roadmap similar to other verticals
Overall Cloud Adoption Strategy for Enterprise and Informatics Applications over the cloud
End User Experience Framework
Main users of cloud are scientists and patients
Framework should ensure the applications hosted on cloud provide the right end user experience
Framework should ensure complete independence from IT Staff particularly for SMBs
As cloud will drive collaboration in research over long run, the Framework should define collaboration experience over the cloud
GlaxoSmithKline took an approach to collaboration, support growing markets, and address costs by adopting Microsoft Online Services solutions
