Initial Situation

Pharmaceutical companies require a statistical computing environment (SCE) for data analysis in clinical trials that meets the highest regulatory requirements in terms of data security and consistency. The largest research-based pharmaceutical company in Germany was using a central, 25-year-old SAS-based, business-critical system that needed to be replaced.

HMS Lösung

HMS replaced this outdated system with a modern, cloud-native SCE.

We supported our client in several phases of the project:

• Technical proof-of-concepts, including the pioneering integration of the SCE webapp with SAS Studio using SAS-Viya as the IDE.
• Conceptual system design with regard to data storage, security and access using AWS services.
• Agile implementation of the system and simultaneous implementation of a validation strategy that simplifies regular release deployments through a high degree of automation.

Benefit

By implementing this solution, our customer benefits from

• Seamless integration of the SCE webapp with SAS Studio for efficient workflows.
• Optimised system design with AWS services for highest data security and access.
• Automated validation strategy that facilitates and accelerates regular release deployments.
