        abstract = {Software technologies have become essential to every operation in the pharmaceutical industry, including drug discovery, formulation, manufacturing, quality assurance, and post-marketing surveillance. Over the past thirty years, digitalization has changed the industry’s workflows by improving efficiency, traceability, and compliance. Systems like laboratory information management systems (LIMS), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and pharmacovigilance databases have created the digital backbone of modern pharmaceutical operations. The integration of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and blockchain, is now changing how pharmaceutical data are generated, analyzed, and used. This review explores the evolution, implementation, challenges, and future directions of software systems in the pharmaceutical field. It emphasizes innovation, regulation, and digital transformation as key areas for the industry’s continued growth.},
