Study Snapshot

In today’s fast changing, complex market, competitive contracting and pricing presents tremendous opportunities and challenges for pharmaceutical and medical device companies. While fast and accurate pricing and payment excellence create a pathway to profitable growth, many pricing organizations labor to deliver expected results and demonstrate value. This study takes a fresh look at how best-in-class companies:

  1. Structure and organize their contracting functions to optimize their service: cost, quality and value
  2. Manage risk
  3. Communicate value and receive recognition for services rendered

Staffing levels and expertise, contract volume, contract cost, payment volume, payment type, price validation methods, automation levels and services provided are measured for all participating benchmark companies. Segmented data is provided for the medical device and the pharmaceutical groups.

Executives will find this study critical for:
  • Pinpointing their contracting and pricing organization’s key strengths and improvement areas relative to high-performing companies 
  • Aligning organizational structure and resources for maximizing operational efficiency and effectiveness 
  • Creating a roadmap for building high-impact contracting capabilities to drive business value 

Key Findings

A sample of the study's key findings about best-in-class contract and pricing organizations follows:
  • High performing contracting organizations focus on corporate growth in their management processes, objectives and internal communications.
  • Automation, standardizations and early warning systems are key contracting value fronts by which to manage speed, cost and quality in an increasingly complex and high-volume contracting environment.
  • Customize upward communications to demonstrate value to internal customers.
