What AI services does Quest GLT actually offer?
Six things: agentic AI workflow automation, generative AI content systems, AI compliance guardrails, custom AI assistants and chatbots, predictive analytics, and enterprise integration with platforms like Veeva, Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle. Most engagements combine two or three.
What is agentic AI, and how is it different from a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions. Agentic AI completes work — it drafts the document, checks it against your rules, routes the approval, and logs the audit trail, across multiple steps, without waiting for a prompt at each one. Your people stay in the loop for decisions, not for repetition.
Can AI really automate content in regulated industries like pharma?
Yes — the leaders already publish their numbers. Pfizer cut initial content development time by 55% with AI-assisted creation. Eli Lilly saw a 70% drop in resubmissions after automation. Novartis reports 50% faster content availability. The trick is building compliance into the pipeline, not bolting it on after.
How much does a pilot cost, and what's the realistic ROI?
Pilots run in a single business unit over roughly one quarter. In the impact model we built for Teva, a single-BU pilot projects around $200K in annual savings — and on a high-value product launch, every week saved is worth $1M+ in potential revenue. We agree on KPIs before anything is built, so ROI is measured, not claimed.
How do you stop an AI project from becoming shelfware?
Change management is part of the build, not an afterthought. Targeted business-unit training, UAT workshops with the actual end users, and adoption tracked as a KPI alongside cycle time. Industry data shows 80%+ adoption within 6 months when rollouts are done this way — and near-zero when they aren't.
What systems can you integrate AI with?
Veeva CRM and Vault, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, SharePoint, Box, Okta, Azure AD, Power BI, and Tableau — plus custom internal systems via API. The goal is one ecosystem where content, identity, pricing, and analytics never wait on a manual handoff.
