Case Study: Sanofi-Aventis achieves faster time-to-market and accelerated R&D decision-making with Informatica PowerCenter

Leading life sciences company uses Informatica PowerCenter to improve early detection of R&D issues, decrease time-to-market and ensure researchers have timely access to data

Aventis Pharma, part of the Sanofi‑Aventis group, develops medicines across multiple therapeutic areas and needed to accelerate drug development and decision-making. The company faced the challenge of automating the collection of research data from 11 discrete systems, standardizing that data for faster reporting, and speeding distribution of reports and metrics to decision-makers to detect market‑entry risks earlier.

Using Informatica PowerCenter to access, integrate and deliver research data, Aventis automated daily reporting and standardized metrics for rapid distribution. The solution improved early detection of R&D issues, significantly decreased time‑to‑market, and ensured researchers and decision‑makers had timely access to accurate, up‑to‑date information.
