Get Roddy Martin’s one-minute take on why a digital supply network is a game-changer for pharma companies.

**Transcript:**

We evolved our architectures with linear integrations of systems and data. It was extremely difficult to move data between those various silos of the end-to-end healthcare system.

Now, what’s different?

In the digital network model, we have all partners around that same patient, connected to the same network, sharing and **[exchanging data in real time](/agile-supply-chain/credo)**.

It means we can work differently. It means we can do different analytics. We don’t have to deal with transactional, lagging data. We’re dealing with real-time data.

This means that we can all focus as one network on the orchestration of a patient outcome with a partner. This is what’s going to lead to the fundamental transformation of not only the pharmaceutical product supply network, but the healthcare, patient-facing system as a whole.
