Case Study: Shire Pharmaceuticals achieves faster product development and reduced time-to-market with Informatica

Shire Pharmaceuticals Uses Next Generation iPaaS and Data Analytics in the Fight Against Rare Diseases

Shire Pharmaceuticals, a global biotechnology company with 24,000 employees focused on rare and specialized diseases, faced fragmented enterprise data after multiple mergers and acquisitions. Data silos and manual, Excel-driven workflows made analytics slow and difficult, limiting the company’s ability to accelerate research, improve diagnoses, and speed therapies to market.

Shire partnered with Informatica to build a hybrid cloud Analytics Marketplace on Microsoft Azure using Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, Cloud Data Integration, and Big Data Management, consolidating some 400 TB of data and running thousands of BDM jobs. The platform delivers self-service analytics, real-time integration, and automation, cutting data acquisition and support costs, improving collaboration, and accelerating product development and time to market.
