Case Study: IQVIA achieves 75% faster deployments and secure self-service Kubernetes with Nirmata

IQVIA - Customer Case Study

IQVIA’s Digital Media Solutions business unit needed to move applications to an agile AWS EKS Kubernetes model in weeks while handling sensitive healthcare data and without a large staff of Kubernetes experts. To lower DevOps barriers, enforce security policies, and enable reliable, self-service deployments for distributed teams, IQVIA selected Nirmata’s secure developer self-service platform and Kubernetes management and governance features.

Nirmata provided self-service cluster provisioning, policy-based DevSecOps controls, and configuration management to restrict environments and automate security checks, letting developers deploy without DevOps bottlenecks. The result: IQVIA’s 25-person team cut the Kubernetes learning curve to under six months, made deployments about 75% faster (from 4–6 hours to roughly one hour), reduced alert volume by ~50% to one or two a day, and improved secure access to first‑party healthcare data — all enabled by Nirmata.
