We helped a generic drug sourcing company streamline its data management using platform as a service in the cloud.
In an age where business operations require an immense amount of data, it can be challenging and cumbersome to scale enterprise applications and analytics. It is even more difficult to house, store and showcase this data in a way that promotes ease of use and drives insights that impact business success.
Our client is a large pharmaceutical sourcing company that supports large generic drug providers and generic drug sales around the world. The client also leverages their purchase information to negotiate lower costs for the U.S. Health System.
As a source of thousands of different drugs across a multitude of partners, our client manages an enormous amount of data streaming into their systems daily. They require a robust and dependable data management system to keep up with demands and sustain long-term growth. They had previously engaged Centric Consulting’s Modern Software Delivery and Data and Analytics experts to establish an Azure virtual machine-based solution (similar to on-premise), which successfully ran their company for several years.
After experiencing rapid growth, they found the virtual machine-based platform could not cost-effectively sustain desired performance levels. They needed to modernize and streamline their data management using a system that could scale as their business grows. The answer: update their platform systems to a platform as a service (PaaS) in the cloud.
