The life sciences industry faces immense challenges: global supply chains, geopolitical uncertainties and constantly evolving compliance requirements shape day-to-day operations. At the same time, the pressure is growing to bring new products to market faster in order to maximise patent value and profitability. In this dynamic environment, digital transformation is no longer an option but a necessity. The key to managing this complexity lies in robust, integrated product and process governance.
We are delighted to announce our participation in the SAP Executive Exchange Forum for Life Sciences 2026, which takes place on 24 and 25 March 2026 at the Novu Campus in Zürich. This forum offers a unique platform for sharing the latest innovations, the potential of Business AI and the future of life sciences. At the heart of our presence is SAP Product and Process Governance (SAP PPG) by BDF, a solution developed specifically to address the challenges of the life sciences industry.
SAP PPG by BDF: the key to integrated product and process governance in life sciences
SAP Product and Process Governance (SAP PPG) by BDF is an SAP-integrated solution that supports companies in the life sciences industry in making their processes GxP-compliant and successfully implementing digital transformation. As an integral part of the SAP standard software, certified for S/4HANA and the cloud, SAP PPG enables a fully integrated product structure and the automated derivation of bills of materials and orders. This is crucial for companies that have to ensure GxP-compliant pharmaceutical production.
SAP PPG offers a range of benefits tailored specifically to the needs of the life sciences industry:
- GxP compliance: ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements through transparent and traceable processes.
- Integrated data models: all product-related data is maintained in a central data model, ensuring a consistent and up-to-date information base across the entire product lifecycle.
- Cost and time savings: avoiding duplicate data maintenance and manual errors, which leads to considerable savings.
- Transparent cost overview: a clear view of cost structures for controllers.
- Efficient document logistics: simplified management and provision of all required documents.
With SAP PPG, the BDF Experts have developed a solution that enables companies to handle their customer-specific orders in manufacturing in a time- and cost-saving way, while at the same time meeting the highest quality and compliance standards.
Practical example: compliant manufacturing at MEDICE with S/4HANA and SAP Digital Manufacturing
A particular highlight of the event will be the talk by Christoph Matt (Director, Tenthpin), Sven Rothhoeft (Project Lead SAP Digital Manufacturing, MEDICE) and Kai-Uwe Cormann (Global Quality Management, MEDICE).
Under the title “Compliant Manufacturing at MEDICE with S/4HANA and SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM)“, they offer an exclusive insight into their path towards the digital transformation of operational processes. They share their vision, the innovative solutions driving the change, and the key lessons learned.
In doing so, they will also address the challenges, the experience gained and the critical pitfalls to watch out for. This talk impressively demonstrates how SAP PPG is applied in practice to ensure GxP-compliant manufacturing.
