Client Intro
The pharmaceutical company specializes in discovering and developing high-quality medicines. With a broad portfolio of healthcare professionals, employees, and research centers, they work to bring life-changing medicines to those in need. The company’s modernization efforts aimed to enhance customer experience, reduce costs, and improve scalability through AWS cloud solutions.
Challenge
The global pharmaceutical company faced challenges in improving customer experience while reducing operational costs. Existing IT projects were failing, and the company lacked the necessary skill sets for a user-centric approach. The need for a shared enterprise CI/CD solution and the push to go cloud-native added to the complexity. Key issues included upgrading web applications for clinical trial information, improving legacy application flexibility with AWS, tracking shipments globally, and migrating applications from Heroku to AWS.
Solution
DMI partnered with the pharmaceutical company to create a new digital strategy and undergo a complete business and technology transformation with AWS. A Digital Design Center was established, focusing on design-centric digital projects. The company’s redundant and disparate applications were modernized using serverless technologies on AWS. DMI developed a centralized CI/CD pipeline, migrated Heroku applications to AWS, and built a unified dashboard to track global shipments. The new architecture optimized content delivery, reduced maintenance costs, and provided on-demand scalability.
