Case Study: UMBRA Global achieves rapid compliance, global expansion, and 50% revenue growth with Microsoft Azure

Healthcare Firm Uses Cloud to Speed Compliance, Go Global, and Boost Revenues by 50 Percent

UMBRA Global, a U.S.-based provider of pharmacovigilance solutions, faced the challenge of delivering data‑intensive, highly regulated drug-safety systems that meet strict standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA and international regulations — all while using the cloud and enabling global deployment for customers with limited IT resources.

UMBRA chose Microsoft Azure, used Microsoft’s audit documentation and an Azure architect to design compliant deployments, and implemented validation scripts that run ~1,500 tests per deployment and quarterly thereafter. The result: customer compliance time shrank from months to a week or less, UMBRA focused on product development, gained a marketing edge from Azure’s reputation, expanded into international markets, and grew revenues by about 50%.
