description: Lachman Consultants says that pharmaceutical manufacturers can establish a competitive advantage by preventing questions about their product quality data from disrupting current and future revenue. In recent years, data integrity shortcomings identified during GMP inspections have cost firms dearly. In some cases, the financial impact has run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite the risk, many manufacturers do not seek help with data integrity compliance until there is a problem. By then, it may be too late to avoid an impact on profitability. For this reason, Lachman Consultants urges pharmaceutical companies to establish a competitive advantage by taking a proactive approach to data integrity assurance.

[Lachman Consultants](http://www.lachmanconsultants.com/) says that pharmaceutical manufacturers can establish a competitive advantage by preventing questions about their product quality data from disrupting current and future revenue.

In recent years, data integrity shortcomings identified during GMP inspections have cost firms dearly. In some cases, the financial impact has run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite the risk, many manufacturers do not seek help with data integrity compliance until there is a problem. By then, it may be too late to avoid an impact on profitability. For this reason, Lachman Consultants urges pharmaceutical companies to establish a competitive advantage by taking a proactive approach to data integrity assurance.

This whitepaper discusses:

- Problems of Delayed Market Entry and Close-Out Delays
- The Real Cost of Poor Data Integrity
- The Importance of Data Governance
- The Need to Hire the Right People
- The Perils of Password Sharing
- A Need for a Holistic Approach

Jim Davidson from Lachman Consultants explains that those who view quality as an investment rather than a cost do best on data integrity.
