Data Virtualization Technical Assessment PoC

DefineRight helped a mid-sized biotech company improve access to decentralized data through a Data Virtualization PoC. By integrating datasets from multiple warehouses into a unified system, DefineRight enhanced data accessibility and cut time to insight by over 20–25%, supporting better decision-making and strategic planning.

About the Customer

A global mid-sized biotech company was facing significant inefficiencies in accessing and utilizing data from disparate data warehouses across its commercial function.

the Challenge

  • Data Siloing: Data was spread across multiple data warehouses, making it difficult to quickly access and aggregate the data needed for analysis.
  • Time to Access Data: It took 1-2 weeks to access siloed data, impacting the speed of decision-making.
  • Impact Analysis and Time to Market: Changes to downstream systems required hours or even days for impact analysis and 15-30 days to surface a new dataset.
  • Duplication of Effort: Teams were working in parallel on the same tasks due to the lack of a central, accessible data repository, leading to duplication of effort.
