Case Study: IMS Health achieves accelerated, scalable Big Data insights with Cloudera Enterprise

IMS Health Chooses Cloudera Enterprise to Support Big Data Factory for Life Sciences and Healthcare

IMS Health, a global provider of healthcare data and analytics, needed to turn massive, complex datasets into actionable intelligence for life sciences and healthcare clients. Its cloud-based Big Data Factory faced challenges around integrating and processing extensive, often unstructured data, speeding time-to-insight, and scaling storage and compute without bottlenecks.

IMS Health selected Cloudera Enterprise (Hadoop and open source tools) to power the factory, adding HDFS, parallel processing and machine-learning capabilities to accelerate acquisition, processing and warehousing. The result is faster, more scalable data management and richer, more granular insights that help clients improve operational performance and inform better healthcare decisions—ultimately supporting improved patient outcomes.
