Case Study: Rhythm Pharmaceuticals enhances IT capabilities and supports rapid growth with PA Consulting

Enhancing an IT function to support rapid growth

Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, a US biopharma company preparing to commercialize new treatments for rare genetic obesity disorders, needed to rapidly strengthen its IT function to support rapid growth. PA Consulting was brought in to assess the company’s needs and help define the IT capabilities required to support research, clinical, and future commercial operations.

PA Consulting developed a multi-year IT roadmap, improved governance and project management around IT investments, and supported major technology programs including an ERP system and better data storage and analysis capabilities. PA Consulting also provided interim CIO services, helping Rhythm Pharmaceuticals implement key systems successfully, improve IT service delivery and security, and build a stronger technology foundation for growth.
