Challenge	IQVIA, a global leader in healthcare data and analytics, was grappling with the challenge of managing patient data for up to 70 different clinical studies run by various entities including government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions. The data, originating from 250 unique vendor warehouses, was being copied into a single system using legacy tools and processes like SAS, a process that took several days. Standardizing this data into FDA-compliant formats was another hurdle, requiring 1 to 2 months. As the rate of incoming data from clinical trials increased, and the data became increasingly non-identified and unstructured, IQVIA faced the risk of significant delays. These delays threatened to stall the progress of their clients' clinical studies. Read More
About Customer	IQVIA is a global leader in the healthcare industry, specializing in the use of data, technology, advanced analytics, and expertise to help customers drive healthcare and human health forward. On any given day, IQVIA manages patient data for up to 70 different clinical studies run by a variety of entities, including government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions. The company is committed to accelerating the pace of healthcare discovery by improving the efficiency and accuracy of data management and analysis. Read More
Solution	To overcome these challenges, IQVIA implemented a centralized data platform that incorporated Streamsets for data integration and Designer Cloud for data engineering. This new analytic stack drastically reduced IQVIA's delivery times from 1 to 2 months down to 1 to 2 days. Instead of relying solely on in-house developers, Designer Cloud's intuitive approach to data transformation enabled IQVIA to scale its efforts through domain experts adept at identifying patterns and data quality issues. Despite the growth and complexity of patient data, IQVIA experienced a 4X increase in prediction accuracy. As patient data continues to evolve, IQVIA can make simple adjustments to its Designer Cloud recipes while maintaining the same delivery speed. Read More Log in to view content
