Case Study: a US-based pharmaceutical and clinical research leader accelerates new medicines development with Persistent Systems and AWS

US-based pharmaceutical and clinical research leader saves time and costs developing new medicines with AWS-powered data insights

A US-based pharmaceutical and clinical research leader faced the challenge of accessing critical but scattered data from over 200 studies, which was poorly integrated across institutional silos. Their objective was to cost-effectively standardize this data to enable advanced analytics and AI capabilities for accelerating medicine development. To tackle this, they partnered with vendor Persistent Systems.

Persistent Systems implemented a solution using several AWS services, including Amazon S3 to create a data lake and AWS DMS for data integration. They developed an advanced analytics platform with AWS Athena and Redshift Spectrum, and used managed EMR services to categorize and move data reliably. As a result, the client can now locate 20-30% of previously missing data, enabling their scientists to make faster, informed decisions and achieve significant time and cost savings in developing new medicines.
