Case Study: IQVIA achieves 92% faster clinical trial data turnaround with Alteryx Designer Cloud

IQVIA Prepares Clinical Trial Data at Record Pace for Faster Healthcare Breakthroughs

IQVIA, a global life sciences and clinical research company, needed to manage patient data for up to 70 clinical studies while coping with legacy SAS-based processes that took days to consolidate data from 250 vendor warehouses and up to 1–2 months to standardize it into FDA-compliant formats. As clinical trial data became more complex and unstructured, IQVIA risked delays that could slow healthcare breakthroughs, and it turned to Alteryx, including Designer Cloud, to modernize its data engineering workflow.

Alteryx implemented a centralized data platform with StreamSets for integration and Designer Cloud for data transformation, enabling IQVIA’s domain experts to handle data preparation more efficiently. The result was a dramatic reduction in delivery time from 1–2 months to 1–2 days, a 92% decrease in turnaround time, a 4X improvement in prediction accuracy, and projected annual overhead savings of $1.2 million.
