Case Study: Takeda achieves rapid modernization of its critical research core system in four months with OutSystems

Takeda Pharmaceuticals Modernizes Critical Research Core System in Four Months

Takeda Pharmaceuticals, a global R&D-driven biopharmaceutical leader, relied on an end-of-life legacy system for outsourced compound synthesis that research scientists used to request chemical compounds. The company needed a rapid modernization to deliver improved UI/UX, enterprise-grade scalability and security, and support for complex scientific workflows across its global research centers.

Partnering with OutSystems and Do iT Lean, Takeda rebuilt the application in four months. The new solution includes document uploads and approvals, a role-restricted dashboard, visualized chemical-structure handling, broad systems integration (including automatic checks against a government compound database), and unified communications—now used by hundreds, boosting collaboration, transparency, compliance and reducing costs.
