ARM (Adaptive Resource Management)
Static resource forecasts can't keep up with dynamic life sciences portfolio changes
Life sciences portfolios are dynamic and long-cycle. Leaders must continuously adjust key resource planning drivers and assumptions to keep plans realistic and delivery on track.
Fragmented systems and disconnected data
Static, template or spreadsheet-driven forecasting models
Time consuming task of building and testing forecasting models
Decisions are made on ad hoc, non-repeatable forecasts
Batch planning cycles can't keep up with portfolio changes
ARM is set to solve these challenges.
i2e ARM is a custom solution which enables dynamic, parameter-driven scenario modeling. It functions as a critical decision feeder allowing portfolio and resource leaders to test Portfolio/Program/Study/Country/Site level changes and instantly see downstream impacts on resource demands and labor costs, without rebuilding forecasts from scratch.
It enables
Definition and adjustment of business rules and algorithms in one environment.Instant visibility into downstream effects of changes in your portfolio or assumptions.Maintenance of data integrity, auditability, and governance while still benefiting from near-Excel-level flexibility.ARM is not a static tool. It is a controlled, domain‑specific, flexible modeling engine.
| Area | Before ARM | After ARM |
|---|---|---|
| Forecasting | Manual rebuilds for every change | Parameter-driven recalculation |
| Scenarios | Days or weeks | Minutes (Variance to Baseline analysis) |
| Governance | No versioning or audit trail | Versioned, auditable scenarios |
| Planning cadence | Periodic batch updates | Continuous replanning |
