Case Study: Global Pharmaceutical Company overhauls application lifecycle management with Adaptavist

Bringing CALM to a global pharma organisation

Global Pharmaceutical Company engaged Adaptavist to help rethink how it managed IT and applications during a major business transformation involving restructuring, acquisitions, and reconfiguration. The company needed guidance on application lifecycle management and a better way to create, develop, and deliver applications across a complex, volatile environment, starting with a troubled website development platform.

Adaptavist carried out a rigorous analysis of the existing application lifecycle and future needs, speaking with stakeholders worldwide and producing a detailed 150-page options report with recommendations and a template for applying its Complete Application Lifecycle Management approach across the estate. The solution highlighted governance, ownership, partner management, and tooling improvements, giving the client a robust, resilient path forward with an SLA-backed service; while no specific numeric business impact was disclosed, Adaptavist’s recommendations were designed to reduce costs, improve control, and enable rollout across the wider application portfolio.
