  • The company selected the DataFlux qMDM Solution to fulfill this vision, addressing data quality and integration data across the enterprise
 

The Business

This leading contract resource organization offers a broad range of professional services in drug development, financial partnering and commercialization for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. This multi-national company has over 15,000 employees and offices in more than 50 countries and is focused on providing customer-centric solutions, making it an undisputed leader in its industry.

The Challenge

This company offers a range of integrated product development services that meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies during the research and development phases of new products. Within the company itself, each project creates large amounts of data, which is often stored in individual applications. The information that the company has compiled about projects, doctors and patients has been kept in isolated applications, leading to stark silos of operational data.

To fulfill a vision of having a more integrated operational environment, the company sought a solution that would allow it to meet its required high levels of data quality and successfully integrate its siloed data. Most importantly, the company wanted a solution that would allow these efforts to be built into an enterprisewide master data management (MDM) initiative.

The DataFlux Solution

The company chose a phased approach to MDM powered by DataFlux technology. The first step was to implement a data quality program to examine and align this disparate data. To further improve efficiencies and create a more effective organization, the company selected the DataFlux qMDM Solution to bring order to its diverse data environment of hundreds of projects spread out across the world and provide a more unified view of projects, doctors and patients. The DataFlux qMDM Solution served as the engine to power a major master data management initiative to drive value from its data quality and data integration challenges and build a more consistent, unified view of enterprise information.

The Results

DataFlux had originally enabled the company to unify its view of customers, patients, products, along with all other data types. With the DataFlux qMDM Solution, the company is able to not only address the quality of its information, but the company can now begin to intelligently consolidate that data, and embark on a true MDM effort.

DataFlux technology provides the ability to build detailed data quality and data integration routines to correct, standardize and de-duplicate data. By incorporating this award-winning technology before it enters the master repository, the DataFlux qMDM Solution not only ensures that the data is managed effectively — but that the data becomes a business asset.
