Case Study: Mankind Pharma achieves 50x faster analytics and 25% inventory reduction with IBM

Healthcare innovator extends affordable medicine to millions using data insights from IBM and SAP

Mankind Pharma, one of India’s fastest‑growing pharmaceutical companies, needed to keep cash and costs tightly controlled while scaling analytics to support international expansion and new technologies such as AI and RPA. To modernize its ERP and data platform, Mankind Pharma engaged IBM to move to SAP S/4HANA running on IBM Power Systems with IBM FlashSystem storage and IBM Services for deployment and ongoing support.

IBM delivered a high‑performance platform—two production environments on IBM Power System S922 servers, IBM FlashSystem 5010/5030 storage, and IBM software/services (PowerVM, Spectrum Virtualize, Spectrum Protect, Storage Insights)—plus implementation and managed services. The IBM solution sped analytics reporting 50x (cutting materials and inventory reports from 24 hours to seven minutes), reduced inventory by 25%, shrank data‑center footprint by 25%, lowered IT operational costs by 20%, and enabled instant failover and near‑real‑time decision‑making.
